Unsurprisingly, the journey to the treasure is loaded with danger as three massive monsters protect the route to Poseidon's Breath and Vincent will not hand over his most prized possession easily. They set out to find an undead swashbuckler called Vincent and to steal the valuable Poseidon's Breath treasure from his gold laden vessel, hidden in the mountains. You control two heroes during a co-op playthrough called Eric and Leah, both of whom are armed with a mighty golden gun.

As you follow the interactions of a raggedy old pirate called Joseph, shipmate Duncan, Porre-Porre the parrot and a captain who lacks patience for a doofus called Bruno, you realise that in a similar vein to SEGA's House of the Dead games, Deadstorm Pirates washes huge chunks of cheese down with its rum. Editing takes forever though so I’m not sure when I’ll have each of these rolled out but I’ll try and make it soon, before the Vegas Amusement Expo if that is possible.Its lighthearted depiction of the setting is also a selling point: there are simply not enough pirate-themed video games available, and Namco Bandai capture the adventures of a ramshackle crew with gusto. I hope to get some footage of Sega’s Transformers Human Alliance here soon and I also have another arcade montage video and some related to Dariusburst in the works. Speaking of new games, I got my hands on the new Batman arcade game by Raw Thrills and here is my review of it. Given how well Deadstorm Pirates has done out West I think there is a pretty good chance that this update could find its way over to us sometime after the Japanese launch. It is scheduled for a Japanese release in March. For the two new stages, one of those is described as a tower level that has a roller coaster style design to it the other is an “eerie fort”. This is not the same as their Deadstorm Pirates 4D+ attraction but an upgrade to existing DSP games.Īside from the obvious differences in the cabinet above (particular the lit-up skull) other differences include the addition of two new stages, the final stage can be picked at the beginning of the game and there is a new ending video, possibly that can mean an alternate ending. In regards to that show, we have our first announcement of what we can expect to see there – Bandai Namco is releasing a new version of their successful Deadstorm Pirates arcade game that is being called Deadstorm Pirates Special Edition. Later this month there will be the EAG Expo in London, UK then next month in Japan is JAEPO where much of what we can expect to see in the Japanese market through the year will be unveiled. With the new year it’s time to get ready for some new game announcements.
