IT’S TIME TO GET PHYSICAL!
Marvelous Europe initiates exclusive pre-order programme for limited edition skus and physical boxed copies of saucy Nintendo 3DS brawler SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson
London, UK – 10th March, 2015 – Marvelous Europe is proud to announce that the hit ‘SENRAN KAGURA’ franchise will return to the Nintendo 3DS™ this summer with ‘SENRAN KAGURA 2: Deep Crimson’. Fans can look forward to more fast-paced beat’em up fun with a host of eye-popping new features, returning character favourites, insane combo chains, hilarious cut-scenes and an abundance of tantalising action!
As a part of the launch, Marvelous Europe has today unveiled an exclusive pre-order website for those people who prefer to own their games physically. The publisher is offering various packages, including special limited edition skus which will be sold exclusively through Marvelous Europe’s dedicated site – SENRAN KAGURA 2 official site. That’s right, these will not be available in shops.
Recent European console releases from Marvelous, including Rune Factory 4, have been digital only, while American gamers have been able to secure physical and limited edition versions.
«We know from listening to our fans on Facebook, Twitter and on our forums, that, while many like downloadable games, a lot of them prefer physical product.» noted Jonathan Nevill, Marvelous Europe’s Product Manager.
Digital delivery has allowed Marvelous Europe to bring some interesting and unique titles to the west; games that might not otherwise see a retail release. Franchises like SENRAN KAGURA sell to a really dedicated hardcore audience, typically big fans of Japanese culture, many of whom value the collectability and tactility of physical games and limited editions.
«Some of the more esoteric titles from Japan don’t necessarily sell in the numbers needed to make a big splash at retail,» commented Steven Tarry, Marketing Manager, «But actually, the fans of these games are exactly those who’d love not just a physical release, but a collectable limited edition too. We love digital because we love the direct relationship it gives us with our customers, and we want to deepen that direct relationship with physical products too.»
