Last week was slow on new releases, so the only new game in the top-20 was Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.
We recently showed a few sneak peeks of what to expect in Soul Sacrifice’s major update on April 4th. Producer Kentarou Motomura gives a closer look at what we’ll be getting in the update.
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 and Disgaea Dimension 2 were released in Japan last week.
Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment was last week’s best-selling release in Japan, followed by Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix.
Sales tracker, Media Create, share their usual weekly report, this time touching on Soul Sacrifice’s first-week sales.
Soul Sacrifice will get a major update on April 4 that adds monsters Dullahan and Behemoth plus an area when you’re inside a giant’s body.
If you can’t wait to play Soul Sacrifice importing the Japanese version got a little bit easier. Famitsu reports Sony Computer Entertainment will sell an English voiceover pack on April 4 for 200 yen ($2).
In early April, Soul Sacrifice will add new monsters Behemoth and Dullahan plus a new map where you wander around inside a giant.
In Soul Sacrifice, you have to pay a price to fulfill a wish. No matter how much a human has lost in despair, they always have something left to offer. What remains even after all is lost is their body.
PlayStation Plus has a different lineup in Japan and many titles are PlayStation Vita games like Dynasty Warriors Next, Dokuro, Ridge Racer, and Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward.
The Valkyrie is one of Soul Sacrifice’s noble “monsters.” She didn’t succumb to greed like the Griffon. The Valkyrie is similar to the Cerberus who made a wish with good intentions that went awry when it was granted by a mysterious voice.
The horrific monsters in Soul Sacrifice were once human and Sony has a tragic tale for each poor person who was granted a wish. We talked about some of the other twisted creatures like the Elf and Cyclops. Here’s what happened to the Kraken.
You will be between save or sacrificing certain monsters upon killing them. Whichever one you pick, you’ll gain new abilities and will also accordingly change in appearance.
Soul Sacrifice will be available in Japan on March 7 and Sony Computer Entertainment plans on supporting the PlayStation Vita game with extra content after it launches.
Sony have shared a “Hyper Magic Battle Action” trailer for Soul Sacrifice.
Appearing in the scenario “The Knight’s Vengeance”, Lancelot is a prominent wizard and henchmen of King Leode.
