Holy Diver Resurrected with NEW Collector's Edition Cartridge

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 2, 2018 - PRLog -- Nearly three decades after it was first released in Japan, IREM's cult classic Holy Diver will be making its North American and European cartridge debut in  August 2018 with a limited edition collector's package (http://retro-bit.com/holy-diver)from Retro-Bit (http://retro-bit.com/)^®'s newest publishing arm, Retro-Bit^® Publishing, distributed exclusively by Innex Inc (https://innexinc.com/)^®.

One of the most sought-after 8-bit titles of all time, Holy Diver is the inventive mix of fast-paced action and adventure that Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine called "A fantastic game loaded with hidden surprises" (issue #3, September 1989). It stars a magic-wielding warrior who is in search of the Royal Coat of the Arms of the Crimson in order to defeat The Black Slayer. Players will need to fight their way through six incredible stages, each with its own unique theme and challenging boss to overcome.

Holy Diver, along with R-Type III & Super R-Type (http://retro-bit.com/r-type)Collector's Edition, will be among the first Collector's Edition games published under the brand new imprint Retro-Bit^® Publishing. The exclusive hard embossed collector's box will include an 8-bit cartridge with a protective dust cover, a full-color instruction manual, exclusive sticker collection, original art prints, Holy Diver branded hardcover notebook and an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. Retro-Bit has also collaborated with FiGPiN (https://figpin.com/)^® to create a limited edition Holy Diver pin set.

The production will be limited to only 2,900 units in North America and 2,800 in Europe, and the first one-thousand in each region will come with an exclusive white cartridge. Holy Diver will retail for $59.99 when it begins shipping in late August 2018 and will play on the Nintendo Entertainment System and select Retro-Bit consoles (http://retro-bit.com/consoles.html).

"We're excited to bring one of the greatest 8-bit cult classics to the United States and Europe for the first time ever in cartridge form," said Ron Pang, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Innex Inc. "Holy Diver gives us an opportunity to raise the bar for retro releases by offering fans of old school games an incredible collection of exclusive and high-quality content, all at an affordable price. Holy Diver and R-Type III & Super R-Type Collector's Edition are just the first of many possible exclusive releases for Retro-Bit Publishing."
