MangaGamer introduces permanent price cuts
December 7th, 2010, by in Translation
According to a post on the official blog, MangaGamer is permanently cutting prices on almost all their titles. This ranges from dropping Suika A.S+’s price by half to slight adjustments to their 19.95 euro titles. Higurashi has been reduced to 24.95 euros and each of the answer arcs have been reduced to 9.95. Even the upcoming Koihime Musou has had its price cut by a little, although the post claims that will have no effect on the number of sales needed for voices to be added back in. Cosplay Alien, Da Capo Innocent Finale and Edelweiss were the only ones not cut, the former two being at 19.95 euros and the latter at 24.95. Lastly, the title picture for the post is a screenshot from Harem Party, the latest game published through a subbrand of NEXTON called Tactics.
UPDATE: According to an interview posted on Siliconera, the reasoning behind the price drops was so that fans’ complaints could be addressed and sales numbers could be bolstered to attract more companies interested in distributing English releases with MangaGamer.
