I'm a little bit in a hurry right now to separate and develop this in their proper threads, so:
- Brand-new shooting game coming from Success, most likely with Skonec (Psyvariar) developing, titled (for now): "Exception". No pics.
- Death Smiles II's hardware is Cave-made, PC-based and WIN XP-operated.
- It's indeed the AOU of mother systems. New low-end, PC-based standard platforms coming from Success/Skonec, Sega and AQ Interactive, which add to Type X, Ex-Board, NAOMI, etc.
- Despite Border Break's exhibition, Sega's focusing on medal and kid games, as its line-up quite reveals. Namco's almost dead if we don't count Bandai.
