Retro-Bit has announced that it will be bringing the cult classic SNES title Majyūō – King of Demons to the West in physical form this year, marking its first-ever official release in the West. the game was originally released in Japan for the Super Famicom in 1995 and is a side-scrolling action title in which the protagonist must fight his way through hell in order to liberate his wife and child. The game is notable for showcasing some particularly disturbing visuals.
This will mark the game’s English-language debut, but the game had previously been reissued in Japan by Columbus Circle.
The game will ship on a “Demonic Heart” cartridge and will come with a full-colour instruction manual while the hardcover packaging will be individually numbered. There will also be an exclusive “embellished celebratory slipcover scaled to fit the orientation of SNES cartridges for collector continuity.”
Pre-orders go live today and run until March 12 and will cost $59.99 / €69,99. You can learn more on Retro-Bit’s site.
