Initial D Extreme Stage’s Alternative Marketing
Looks like Sega have spent all their marketing money on Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! and Senjou no Valkyria as they have to work hard to earn some much needed promotions in major Japanese gaming medias on Initial D Extreme Stage. Racing beauty Mika Kagoshima was hired as the marketing lead of the game and her task is to challenge the medias at the game so that they will publish reports on the racing title. ITmedia +D Games, Game WATCH, GameSpot Japan and Dengeki Online + PlayStation were the participants. However, it looks like Sega didn’t provide her with enough tips as Mika only managed to beat Game WATCH and Dengeki, resulting in a one-page report on the both websites and the pages of Dengeki PlayStation magazine. They do earn a free report here on PS3Hyper though. More photos from the event and new screens of the game after the jump. The game is coming on July 3rd in Japan, Play-Asia.com has an Asia version that comes with English manual which sadly doesn’t support online game modes but it’s almost $15 cheaper than the Japanese version.
