Hi everyone. We know it’s been a long time coming but we now have a release date for the amazing Devil Survivor Overclocked on Nintendo 3DS.
Devil Survivor Overclocked will at long last be released on April 5th (2013 :)) and will be priced at £34.99 through the Ghostlight Store. As a special thank you to everyone who orders through the Ghostlight Store, we will be eliminating the postage cost for our UK customers and reducing the overseas postage and packaging by the same amount. And that’s not all as we will also be including a must have A1 double-sided poster (sent rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube) featuring the stunning box art on one side, whilst on the other there will be an amazing panoramic view of Tokyo handpicked from the wealth of incredible artwork created by the Atlus team.
So who wants a look at the poster? :)
Pre-orders will be opening on Friday the 8th March so remember to come back to the Ghostlight Store next week to get your hands on this great package.
In other news, unfortunately due to technical issues (out of our control) on the PlayStation Network, Maken Shao: Demon Sword was not released on the store this week. Midas are currently looking into this and are hoping to get Maken Shao onto the PSN store as soon as possible.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week, but until then you can follow Ghostlight on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight. You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.

Hi everyone. I’m pleased to report we now have some light at the end of the tunnel for SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked and I’m pleased to be able to report that the game has now entered manufacturing. I realise that this long wait has been frustrating for everyone and on behalf of everyone here at Ghostlight, I would like to thank you all for your patience.
Of course the question you all want to know the answer to is, “when is it coming out?” Well, I can tell you that while the date it is not yet 100% confirmed, we are expecting to release the game across Europe towards the end of March in time for Easter. Please keep your eyes peeled, as we will be announcing the confirmed release date in the next couple of weeks and we’ll also be opening up pre-orders through our site.
In other news, the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine not only contains a stunning 87% review for Devil Survivor Overclocked (the highest score this month by the way), but there’s also a review of our rather brilliant 3DS driving game, Crash City Mayhem, which they’ve awarded 75% calling it “Shamelessly ridiculous driving fun.”
Finally, just a little reminder for all you Atlus fans out there that Maken Shao: Demon Sword will be coming to PSN as part of the PS2 Classics programme next week. That’s all for now – I’m off to start work evaluating a cool little JRPG on PSP which I hope to be telling you more about very soon :)

Fellow Atlus fans rejoice! I’ve just been told that the fantastic Maken Shao: Demon Sword will be released by Midas Interactive Entertainment as a PS2 Classic on the PSN Store on the 27th February. Unfortunately, whilst the emulation runs the game really well, it’s not perfect as the game does experience some texture warping. We’re hopeful that there will be an update to the emulator in the future, but despite this, the game is a must for all you Atlus fans out there and at just £3.99/€4.99, it’s a bargain.
On a related topic - and before you ask – the situation with the Digital Devil Saga games remains unchanged. We’re still waiting for an update to the PS2 emulator which will allow us to release them.
Talking of PSN, while I mentioned it in the comments last week I just thought I’d remind you all that both of our two fantastic Idea Factory PSP games, Aedis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos and Spectral Souls: Resurrection of Ethereal Empires have had their prices cut on PSN this week, to just £8.89/€10.99! :)
Those aren’t the only bargains from Ghostlight, as the amazing Valentine’s Day Sale is still running. Check out our previous blogpost here for more details of what’s on sale, or you can go directly to the sale page here to get your hands on these fantastic bargains. But you’ll have to hurry as not only does the sale end on the 20th February, but we have an extremely limited amount of stock left for some of the items in the sale.
This week I’ve spent a lot of my time evaluating a horde of new titles, all of which came from your suggestions in our competition. I must say you guys picked out some pretty good games. :) There are still more evaluations to come through and tomorrow our resident Japanese speaker, Tom, will be coming in to take a look at the games that are yet to receive an English translation.
That’s not all that’s been going on here at Ghostlight either, as work is continuing on the digital Collector’s Editions of Agarest: Generations of War Zero and Agarest: Generations of War 2 along with their sound tracks which will be available on PSN soon. I’m expecting to be able to confirm details for you in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that.
That’s all for now.
