Here’s more reason for ghoulish smiles. At this year’s arcade show AOU, the sequel for Lolita maniac shooter DeathSmiles has been unveiled today. It’s all Christmasy.
Last month, we broke the news that DeathSmiles was getting a rummy royal sequel. DeathSmiles was released in Japanese arcades in 2008 and is getting an Xbox 360 port this Spring. Watch a clip of gameplay here.

Called DeathSmiles 2: Hell’s Christmas, the game is a Gothic Lolita winter wonderland — a ruffly petticoat Christmas nightmare! (Fitting, as the prequel took place during Halloween.) Cave artist director Junya Inoue, whose work added so much flair to Cave shooters ESP Yono all app Ra.De. and Guwange, is once again handling the game’s look.
The horizontal side-scrolling DeathSmiles 2 is expected to hit Yono all app Japanese arcades later this year.
