Xbox 360’s ‘99 Nights’ to Launch in April in Japan

February 1st 2006 | Games Consoles

Microsoft said on Wednesday it will launch “Ninety-Nine Nights,” one of the highly anticipated games for its Xbox 360 console, on April 20 in Japan for 6,800 yen ($58). Microsoft is counting on the game to drive sales of Xbox 360s in Japan after sales of consoles in the first month fell short of those in the failed launch of the original Xbox four years ago.

“Ninety-Nine Nights” is a big-scale battle game produced by Japanese game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Q Entertainment in partnership with South Korean developer Phantagram. Mizuguchi, one of Japan’s top game developers behind titles such as “Lumines” for Sony’s Playstation Portable, was tapped in the hopes of attracting Japanese game fans.
