This Week In Imports: Rayman Origins Hops To Japan

Ubisoft is releasing Rayman Origins in Japan this week where it will debut for the low price of 2,500 yen ($30). Some retailers already have it discounted to around 2,000 yen ($25). Not too shabby for a new game considering Rayman Origins is less than your average budget re-release. Will that help the game launch strong in the Land of the Rising Sun or will Gust and Idea Factory’s crossover game Atelier Elkrone rise to the top?
