    Cave just put out a new Akai Katana Shin trailer. In addition to confirming that the game still looks fucking awesome, it shows off Zetsu mode for the first time in the second half. It's hard to tell how it'll work from the footage, but it's nice to see that it reintroduces the circling gold that crippled the arcade original (it's not like you have to worry about processing power with the Xbox 360). I always thought that looked really cool.

    " For those curious, the "Zetsu" mode in the video is the original arcade version but in 16:9, and with the 256 hit limit removed so hits increase indefinitely. "

    Impressive visuals and game looks like a lot of fun. Based on what they did with Deathsmiles I'm keenly interested.
