Nintendo and Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH have today confirmed via a press release that they have entered into a new distribution agreement for the forthcoming game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, scheduled for release exclusively on Nintendo 3DS across Europe on 8th March 2013. Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories and Australia, with Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH remaining as publisher.
“There is a rich history of Castlevania games launching on Nintendo consoles dating back to the original Castlevania game which launched on the NES in the 80s. We are really proud to be partnering with Konami once again to bring the latest instalment in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow franchise to Nintendo 3DS.”
– Laurent Fischer, Managing Director, Marketing, PR & Distributor Markets at Nintendo of Europe
Woo! That means I can import to Australia! :D
You can import any game from the UK. It’s PAL.
That’s the beauty of it, and UK is considerably cheaper than Australia too!
Quite…
That’s cool and all, but what’s with all these lazy companies? -__-
I mean some you just sort of shrug off and say, “well, no surprise really” but seriously, Capcom and Konami used to be the best, no they’re just as bad as anyone else.
3ds is coming this year full force is almost scary.
What about the WII U? Nintendo should have made an deal like this for the console Castlevania or Cryteck Crysis 3….the 3DS is doing fine….
Crisis is just graphics a better deal would be gta 5. Who wants to make deals on a gente that soon the console will be full whit.
Genre*
I agree, just saying Nintendo needs to pull games to the WII U….maybe take on publishing rights like they did for Bayonetta….
Nintendo likes there deals to be exclusive for a long time.
Wow so basically Nintendo has to do all the work and Konami gets all the profits. Smart move on Nintendo’s part but clearly third parties still don’t see Nintendo consoles and a way to make money which spells doom for the wiu
You are really sad. You dont know the contract details
Why would Konami feel the need to partner of there was mkey to be mad in there own. When was the last time Microsoft of Sony entered in to one of these agreements? Never? Because there is money to be made on those their platforms.
Your dad for making excuses for a dead company who just doesn’t know it yet.
I think they did it whit the battlefield 3 maps for the ps3 and alot of the games on there shops.
