Courtesy of Strictly Limited Games, the classic PS2 shooter Snow Battle Princess Sayuki will be getting a physical release, in both standard and special edition flavours.
Check out the trailer below:
From the Press Release:
Originally released for the PS2 and Wii back in the futuristic year of 2008, developer Starfish finally had finalized a game that started out under a totally differrent IP. Sharing a gameplay legacy with its spiritual predecessor Pocky & Rocky - courtesy of our very good friends at Taito - the game changed its appearance due to Taito being acquired by Square Enix in the fall of 2005.
The snow goddess Sayuki is in love with a mortal boy who has fallen under a grave illness. Therefore, you go on a journey to find a remedy for his condition and gain the trust of the villagers, who are wary of the goddesses. If only the forces of evil wouldn’t get in the way.
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!
Battle Princess Sayuki rewards an aggressive playstyle!
Snow Battle Princess Sayuki can also be played with a friend who takes the role of Sayuki’s sister Koyuki. Playing in 2-player couch co-op mode will turn the game into a competition. Who will have the highest score at the end?
Orders for the game go live at Strictly Limited Games on Sunday. The special edition will be bundled with:
• Special Limited Edition Box
• Game Card/Disc (NSW/PS4)
• Colorful Game Manual
• Enemy Sticker Sheet
• Original CD Soundtrack
• Toto Bunny Plushie
• Reversible Poster
• 6 Mini Art Cards
• Mochi Bunny Recipe
