SystemSoft Alpha plans even more Daisenryaku

SystemSoft Alpha just finished porting Daisenryaku VII Exceed on the PSP and the next entry in the military tactics series is scheduled to come out in August 28. How did a small company like SystemSoft finish up a new game so quickly? Daisenryaku: Dai Toua Kouboushi – Tora Tora Tora Ware Kishuu Ni Seikou Seri isn’t exactly new, it’s a PC to PlayStation port. The console version includes more polished maps, 3D attack animations, and if you pick up the PlayStation 2 version a campaign with the USA. A PSP version is scheduled to come out simultaneously, but it will not include the extra campaign.

To make up for the content difference SystemSoft Alpha is only charging 5,040 yen ($47) for portable release. The extra content on the PlayStation 2 version bumps the price up 2,100 yen ($20) to 7,140 ($67). Quite a difference compared to the budget $20 price tag Valcon Games gave Daisenryaku VII Exceed when it came out in North America. I suppose they are the most likely publisher to localize this since they have a background with the series. However, they seem to be busy with other niche games like Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon, which commenter Dusty B. told us (thanks!!) is only $15 at Amazon.com when it comes out this August.
