“For companies like us that only have a presence in Japan, releasing games abroad on our own was extremely difficult, if not impossible. The advent of being able to sell your game as a downloadable title has removed that roadblock.”

The “curse” part of Mamorukun Curse! comes from the main gimmick of the game: The Curse Bullet, which can be used in two ways.

In Japan, Mamorukun Curse! was a $60 retail game and extra characters were paid downloadable content. All of the downloadable content will be included in UFO Interactive’s release.

Mamorukun Curse is headed to the PlayStation 3 in North America, and it will be available as a download title on July 16th.

Siliconera has learned that G.rev’s run and gun shooter Mamoru-kun Has Been Cursed is being localized under a slightly different name.
