SFZ3 Double Upper & Vampire Chronicle Value Pack

«©NCSX» Capcom owns a valuable software library that can be counted on for future revenue whenever the need or desire arises. The software library can be channeled into different platforms, online downloads, or in the case of the Street Fighter Zero3 Double Upper Vampire Chronicle The Chaos Tower Value Pack (Best Version), outright re-releases.

Since the software has already been produced and bug-tested years ago, the company incurs little cost to bring the software to market again. Other than the printing and packaging, Capcom might take out an ad in Famitsu or Dengeki to alert readers of the impending re-release. After knocking out those expenses, the revenue from sales of a re-release is pretty much pure profit. It's good work if you can get it.

The new PSP Value Pack bundles together the Japanese PSP versions of Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper and Vampire Chronicle on two separate UMDs. That's not all however. Both UMDs are packaged in their respective retail releases - in the case of SFZ3 Double Upper, the game is the Capkore reissue and Vampire Chronicle is the Best version of the game which were released in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The two games are then inserted in a cardboard slipcase as seen to the left.

All preorders have shipped as of yesterday and new orders are welcome to ship today. Pricing is set at JPY3139 or US$39.90 from NCS.
