Video game and anime licensing company NIS America announced via press release on Saturday that it will release the Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet shoot'em up fighter game for the PlayStation 4 in both a physical and a digital release in North America on September 6 and in Europe on September 9. NISA stated that the release will be the first physical release of a Touhou Project title on consoles. The company had previously announced the release as a digital-only title.
NISA is also offering a limited edition of the game that will include: a collector's box, an original soundtrack, a full color hardcover art book, an art print set, a set of 12 pins, and bonus DLC.
NISA describes the game as follows:
Developed by CUBETYPE, Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet is a shoot 'em up that takes place in the Touhou universe. Select from 10 playable girls and dive straight into bullet-hell! Reminiscent of a fighting game, Touhou Genso Rondo takes the traditional shoot'em up genre and infuses it with a 1v1 battle scenario, allowing for a unique gameplay experience. Learn more about the Touhou characters in Story Mode as you progress through the game, blasting your opponent with a barrage of beautiful bullets. Or if you are feeling confident, jump into online battle mode and showcase your skills to players on PSN™.
Dōjin circle CUBETYPE originally released the game on PC, and Mediascape released the game on PS4 in Japan last June as part of its "Play, Doujin" project. The PS4 version comes with balance adjustments and a full HD upgrade, as well as additional scenarios, event CG, and characters.
