2004 arcade shoot 'em up Mushihimesama is getting an HD makeover for Xbox 360, bullet hell specialist Cave has announced.

According to Andriasang's translation of a blog post on the developer's official site, Cave itself is in charge of the new version, unlike the 2005 PlayStation 2 port.

Producer Makoto Asada hinted that some extra content might be added, though didn't confirm a launch date or plans for a Western release.

The blog post also mentions impending Japanese Xbox Live Games on Demand releases for Deathsmiles and Mushihimesama Futari - the aforementioned's 2006 sequel.

The next Cave title confirmed to be heading to these shores is Akai Katana, due on Xbox 360 in the first half of this year.
