Fate/Unlimited Codes - Preorder, Ships in June 2008

Saber battles Archer and other characters from Fate/Stay Night in Capcom's upcoming 3D fighting game based on the popular TYPE-MOON franchise. The cast of characters include Assassin, Berserker, Shirou Emiya, Rin Tosaka, Lancer, Rider, Caster, and Gilgamesh. The arcade release is only being sold in kit form for use with Namco's System 256 coin-op hardware. Just to be clear, the kit only includes a DVD containing the game code and purchasers will need to provide the System 256 hardware to operate the disc.

Pricing for the kit is set at JPY298,000 or US$2750 from NCS which includes EMS shipping directly from Japan to any residential address on Earth. Except maybe the ones in Antarctica. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2008. Since the System 256 is based on PS2 hardware, patient gamers can expect Fate/Unlimited Codes to be released for the Playstation 2 in the Sept/Oct frame for about US$65 from NCS.
