Project X Zone Price Slashed in Japan

Project X Zone on Nintendo 3DS has been discounted at a Japanese retailer in Japan in what appears to be a bid to shift existing stock - including the initial limited edition box-set.

Project X Zone boasts a strong roster of playable and cameo characters across multiple popular franchises and sold moderately well in Japan during its opening weeks.

The original retail price came in at 6,280 Yen (£45 / $70), but has now been chopped down to a wallet-happy 980 Yen (£6 / $11), a chunky 85% off - making a Western release fairly unlikely unless Namco Bandai decide to perhaps give it a go on the Nintendo 3DS eShop at some point.

It's also uncertain whether similar price cuts will be available at other retailers, or whether its an isolated sale - however a drastic drop is fairly significant for a game boasting a wide range of fan-favourites.
