Azure Striker Gunvolt is coming to the PC next week

Inti Creates has announced that the hit action-platformer Azure Striker Gunvolt, originally released last year for the Nintendo 3DS, is coming to the PC. The PC version of the game will feature a new Speedrun Mode, as well as a new, PC-exclusive Japanese Voice Mode, with bonus dialog and plot elements that weren't included in the Western release of the 3DS version.

The minimum system requirements are really quite minimal:

OS : Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10
CPU : 2Ghz and higher
Memory : 2 GB and higher
GPU : Geforce 512 MB and higher
HDD : At least 2 GB of free space
DirectX : DirectX 9.0c
Gamepad : Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller

Azure Striker Gunvolt is set to arrive on Steam on August 28, and will sell for $15. For the first month of release, it will also come with a free copy of Mighty Gunvolt, an 8-bit-flavored platformer that "remixes characters, enemies, stages, and gameplay elements from Gunvolt and other retro-flavored favorites into a cute and simple—but surprisingly replayable—nostalgia-fueled lil’ romp."
