X360 Ketsui Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra Regular Edition - Early

NCS Product Update
«©NCSX» A supplier in Tokyo received a batch of X360 Ketsui Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra last Friday and shipped an allocation of the game to us. We've received the shipment today and we'll be able to clear roughly 3/4 of our reservations for the limited edition of the game and roughly 1/8 of our reservations of the regular edition. They received a lot more of the LE than the RE last week. The remainder of our shipments are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday of this week since most of our Japanese vendors did not receive their copies of Ketsui until last night.

The first printing of the regular edition of Ketsui includes a bonus "Ketsui Capture Guidebook" which is packaged in 1:1 ratio. The limited edition of Ketsui is bundled with a Ketsui Kizuna Original Soundtrack CD and a bonus "Ketsui Capture Guidebook" in 1:1 ratio. The contents of the limited edition are packed in a slipcase.

Ketsui is a vertical shooter where players commandeer a ship that faces off against waves upon waves of ground and air resistance. The game starts off with the player's ship being towed into battle by a larger plane. Once the tether is broken, the ship hurtles ahead and into the thick of an incoming enemy assault.
