NCS Product Synopsis
Japanese publisher 5pb ports the
popular Ketsui ~ Kizuna Jigoku Tachi
shooter from Cave to the Playstation 3 and keeps
the EXTRA mode from the X360 version. Fans who've
already purchased the NDS and X360 versions might
not have much impetus to pick the game up for a
third time but the U.S. economy is
improving and that gush of money has to go
somewhere, right?
In addition to the regular edition of the game, 5pb is also
releasing a limited edition of the game which
includes a Super Play Blu-Ray and a two CD
soundtrack containing tracks from Ketsui and the
EXTRA mode of the game.
Preorders for the
regular and
limited edition are welcome to ship on
June 25, 2013.
