Atlus 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. For more information about Legacy of Ys: Books I & II, visit the official website: http://www.atlus.com/ys
