Dark Souls II will get a limited edition bundle in Japan, but FromSoftware’s version doesn’t include the Warrior Knight figurine that Namco Bandai is giving out in their collector edition. Japan gets Dark Souls II, a soundtrack CD, art book (100 pages), game map, and a miniature weapons set with tiny die-cast arms in a wooden case. The limited edition version of Dark Souls II will retail for 15,980 yen ($160).
The 7,800 yen ($78) standard edition includes a map and soundtrack CD at launch.
Speaking of weapons, Dark Souls II has special weapons as a bonus if you get the game from specific retailers in Japan.
The Obsidian Dagger and Obsidian Buckler are available at Geo.
The Dwarf’s Mace & Dwarf’s Wood Shield is a bonus at Yodobashi Camera.
The Chain-bound Handaxe & Chain-bound shield cause bleeding. These weapons can be obtained at Tsutaya, Yamada Denki, and Best Denki.
The Sulfur-Crusted Long Sword and Sulfur-Crusted Shield are items you can get from Bic Camera, Kojima, Furuhon Ichiba, and Softmap.
Amazon.jp has the Convict’s Cane and Convict’s Shield. These items can inflict darkness.
No word if these bonus weapons will be available in the West, but for other games like the Naruto fighting game series Namco Bandai distributes extra items among different retailers.
