Yum. You may remember me telling you a few days ago that Cave's Mushihime-sama Futari Ver. 1.5 might not be subjected to the company's usual practice of needless region-locking when it lands on the Japanese Xbox 360 this November.

While any Cave fan knows that's probably wishful thinking, Makoto Asada says they're at least considering it, and backs that up by stating in a recent post on the developer's blog that he'll be meeting with Microsoft next weekend, and "would like to submit proposals in English in the form of a clear framework to deploy and support worldwide." Somebody wants this to happen, and for likely the first time in the developer's history, it isn't just their foreign devotees.

They've just released a trailer for the 360 port, which you can watch by clicking above. If that looks like something you'd like to be able to play without buying an entire console in order to do it, you can join the cause by sending Cave a quick email to simply say, "America wants your games."

Anyway, take a look at the video and click the HD button in the top left for the sharper version. Here's hoping this lovely trailer isn't the last we see of this game outside of Japan.

I played Mushihime-sama on PS2...it was quite fun, if not a little on the simplistic side. I like lots of crazy-ass-huge insects being shot in the face, so I'm kinda biased towards this game.

you should get one of the Japanator guys to put America wants your games in hiragana or kanji so somebody at cave can read it.

And, that is, assuming that it's the final boss. I think it is, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

I've already got this sucker pre-ordered, but I really hope that this goes region-free so that those not nuts enough to import a 360 have a reasonable shot at this. I only played the arcade version briefly but had a great time with it, here's to the dream that more can experience it!

Oh, I'm nuts enough, I'm just not rich enough. ;)

I am not rich either, but I thought the idea of owning arcade machine, drove me to get this. And Kevinski , yeah thats the final boss, even at original mode, to get the 1CC i have to bomb spam her to death.

Bless your heart for including Cave's email. I have mailed it and relayed your preachings.
