There are many great games in the Japanese market that never make their way to the international market – even fewer to PAL regions. If you live in a PAL region including Europe, Australia and New Zealand the fate of having an official release of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 hangs in the balance.
As you may recall from my past articles, the PAL region licence holder for the game “Ghostlight” have found themselves in a dilemma due to challenges faced in the current retail sector. Despite the support of a number of retailers the company have come to the conclusion that the only option for the game is to sell it exclusively via their online website. However to get any worth out of this venture they need 1,800 pre-orders for Devil Survivor 2 by the 30th August 2013.
The company are offering two bundles for the game, and have recently unveiled new details on the sets which are as follows:
#1 – European Special Edition
Devil Survivor 2 (DS)
Pre-Order Price: £24.99/€29.99
This special edition will be factory sealed and include an exclusive A4 folded poster featuring the games rather nice cover artwork. Anyone pre-ordering the game will also have the option to include their name in the manual, and as a bonus all pre-ordered units will feature a special gold coloured Devil Survivor logo on the inlay.
#2 – Devil Survivor Bundle
Devil Survivor 2 (DS) & Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS) with a £10.00 discount
Pre-Order Price: £49.98/€59.98
Usual Price: £59.98/€69.98
Both games will be factory sealed and as with Option 1, anyone pre-ordering the bundle will receive the special edition of Devil Survivor 2 and have the option to include their name in its manual.
Should Ghostlight reach their target, they expect to release the game at the end of September. However, if they fail, then everyone who pre-ordered Devil Survivor 2 will receive a full refund while those who ordered the double pack will have the option to receive Devil Survivor Overclocked with the £10.00 discount.
What would you do if you could see others’ deaths before they come to pass? A mysterious website – Nicaea – will show you just that. What you do with the information will determine the fate of millions as calamity strikes Japan…
