Atelier Lydie & Soeur: Alchemists of the Mysterious Painting is getting some special editions that include a variety of goodies.

The “Premium Box” (picture above) comes with the following:

  • Visual Book
  • Three mini-clear posters
  • Extra Tracks & Voice CD (two discs)
  • B3-size special illustrated cloth poster
  • special in-game items

There’s also the “Atelier 20th Anniversary Box”, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the series. It’s exclusive to Amazon Japan and Gust’s own online store. It includes everything from the Premium Box plus:

  • Sophie & Firis Premium Visual Book
  • Lydie & Soeur Double Crystal Paperweight
  • Atelier 20th Anniversary Alchemist Pin Badge Collection

Finally, all first-print editions of the game will come with a download code for Marie and Elie costumes.

 
 
Of course, all of these are Japan-only at the moment. Let’s hope that Gust will localize this game at some point.

Koei Tecmo has published trailers for Winning Post 8 2017 and Champion Jockey Special, which will both launch on the Switch (in Japanese) on September 14. Give them a watch:

Japan just had one of its best weeks in a long while in terms of gaming sales. Dragon Quest XI finally launched to huge success, and Nintendo shipping out a steady supply of Switch units also helped.

Console-wise, the sales of all 3DS systems combined sold 417.62 percent more than last week. Again, part of this was due to the release of Dragon Quest XI. Square Enix also put out a special Liquid Metal Slime New 2DS XL design, which was no doubt purchased by many consumers.
