Strictly Limited Games has partnered with Mebius & Starfish-SD to bring Snow Battle Princess Sayuki physical editions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. The exclusive and limited physical release can be pre-ordered from tomorrow, October 2, 2022.
There are going to be two unique limited editions that are limited to 2,500 copies for Nintendo Switch and 1,000 for the PlayStation 4 at a price of $29.99, including a colorful game manual.
The special limited edition is limited to 1,500 copies for the Nintendo Switch and 500 for the PlayStation, priced at $49.99. It includes the special limited edition box, game card/disc, colorful game manual, enemy sticker sheer, original CD soundtrack, Toto Bunny Plushie, reversible poster, 6 mini art cards, and a mochi bunny recipe.
Originally planned to be a part of the Pocky and Rocky/Kiki Kaikai series, Snow Battle Princess Sayuki changed its appearance after TAITO was acquired by Square Enix in 2005.
Instead of giving up on the game, developer Starfish took the game and transformed the Pock & Rock exterior and narrative into Snow Battle Princess Sayuki. Combining the cuteness of Cute ’em Ups and the intense action of isometric fast-paced scrolling shooters, the game turned out to be a true fan favorite within a small but passionate following and was released for the PS2 and Wii back in 2008.
The game features the snow goddess Sayuki who has fallen in love with a mortal boy with a grave illness. Players will have to go on a journey to find the cure for his illness and gain the trust of the villagers, who are vary of the goddess. With your trusty bunny Toto at your side, use different types of snow magic, upgrade them and blast your way through the hordes of yokai and other monsters standing in your way
Key Features:
- The spiritual successor of Pocky and Rocky with the familiar gameplay and a combo meter twist!
- Single and two-player modes
- Fresh setting using elements from Japanese and Western myths
