Tales of Vesperia for Games on Demand is just the beginning
Namco Bandai thinks digital distribution services are a great way of making "niche" games available in regions where stock is scarce or entirely depleted.
The publisher released Tales of Vesperia - "far and away the most refined and beautiful Tale Namco has ever told", in the words of our review - to the Games on Demand service last week. You can get it here for £19.99.
"The 'Tales Of" series is a very important franchise for Namco Bandai, and making the game available for Games on Demand is important to allow gamers the chance to find it when limited boxed copies can be found at retail," commented Lee Kirton, marketing director for Namco Bandai UK.
The publisher is monitoring fan feedback for clues as to where to take the series from here.
"We have great plans for the Tales series and we are truly focused on listening to the communties and their wants - especially through Twitter feeds, Facebook, forums etc.
"We are also looking into new ways of releasing great titles like this."
JRPGs are an increasingly scarce commodity on Xbox 360, so if you have a fondness for stats and big-eyed heroines, you don't want to miss this.
