Legacy of Ys: Books I & II
Delayed
Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced
that Legacy of Ys: Books I & II for Nintendo DS will ship two weeks later than
originally scheduled, now slated to bump into retail stores on February 24,
2009. This was of course immediately accepted because this delay would allow for
each and every launch copy of the game to magically transform into a premium
boxed release, with the soundtrack CD-formerly intended as a pre-order bonus-to
physically be included with each and every copy of the game’s first print run.
This unexpected upgrade signals the
return of Atlus Spoils, a fan appreciation campaign intended to give a little
extra something to the company’s faithful followers as a thank you for their
continued support. The program is planned to remain active indefinitely during
2009, meaning fans can expect additional bonuses and extras in future Atlus
releases throughout the year.
"While we’re never eager to announce
delays for our products," began Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing for Atlus, "we are incredibly excited to be able to upgrade the final
release of Legacy of Ys to a premium boxed package. The soundtrack CD, once a
bonus for pre-orders, is now going to be offered to everyone who picks up a copy
from the game’s limited first print run."
One of the most heralded action RPG
franchises of all time, Legacy of Ys: Books I & II delivers the first two epic
adventures of the famed saga on one cartridge, presented with a series of
never-before-seen enhancements. Now, the finished North American launch will be
available in a special boxed release, with a soundtrack CD featuring the game’s
famed score included with each and every copy of the game’s first print run.
Legacy of Ys: Books I & II is now
scheduled for release on February 24, 2009, with an MSRP of $34.99.
