Here’s the Japanese promotional/announcement trailer.

Ok here’s something a little unusual, from the house of Capcom comes the latest in cosmetic fragrances. Unfortunately (fortunately?), it’s only available from the Japanese Capcom Store Tokyo (Parco, 6F Shibuya).

There’s 6 types to choose from “Monster Hunter Cross”, “Monster Hunter Double Cross”, “Imprisoned Palm” series, “Devil May Cry 5”, “Ace Attorney” lawyer version and “Ace Attorney” prosecutor version.

Didn’t you always want to spray on yourself Rathalos No.6 or perhaps some Narcugar No. 9, I’m sure it would’ve been tough farming those for the necessary materials. Maybe the heroes from Devil May Cry is more your thing, perhaps some essence of Dante or Nero or possibly even V.

Each series comes with 3 fragrances (except “Ace Attorney” lawyer version as there’s only 2) of 10ml bottles each. 5800Yen + tax for each series (3 bottles) and 4800yen + tax for “Ace Attorney” lawyer version (2 bottles).

They will be sold for a limited time and in limited quantities.
