"I simply love companies like Rising Star Games. They do their utmost best to bring us niche titles that big publishers simply would never touch. We have to thank them for bringing games like The King of Fighters XIII, the Harvest Moon series, Half-Minute Hero, Muramasa and Little King’s Story. Rising Star Games also deals with distributing Cave’s hardcore bullet hell shoot-em-ups. That’s good to know since Cave is the forerunners in the genre at the moment, and fans clamber to their newest releases like they just discovered some rare mystical treasure. The latest addition to Cave's impressive catalogue is Akai Katana, a bullet hell shooter that when I initially saw the first screenshots gave me an impression that Cave had toned down their bizarre design in their games - yeah, I was wrong."
Siliconera knows Cave is bringing Dodonpachi Saidaioujou for Xbox 360, but what else is the maniac shooter company working on? They picked the brain of Cave lead creator and Game Development Head Makoto Asada to see what their future plans are.

I hear the game is so big each bullet comes on it's on disk on xbox.
Cave has a mega collection of shooting games according to Amazon Japan, which is taking reservations for the Cave Shooting Collection. This bundle includes 10 games plus downloadable content on seven DVDs.
As a port of an arcade game, Akai Katana may be short but it is still incredibly fun and provides a seemingly "impossible to beat" kind of challenge that is lacking from a lot of video games today.
