Famitsu DX Packs have a way of turning niche titles into display-worthy collector's pieces, and this one delivers. The Genkai Totsuki Monster Monpiece Famitsu DX Pack for PlayStation Vita pairs the card-battling RPG with an A2-size wallscroll and a set of eight reversible visual cards. The wallscroll is the focal point, large enough at A2 to anchor a display wall or command attention in a game room.

The reversible visual cards are a clever touch, essentially giving you sixteen pieces of art across eight cards, each one showcasing the game's distinctive character designs from different angles or in different forms. Monster Monpiece made waves for its unique "rubbing" mechanic and its surprisingly deep card battle system underneath the provocative exterior. Compile Heart built something that was easy to dismiss and hard to put down, and it's developed a cult following among Vita owners who gave it a real chance.

The Famitsu DX Pack was a Japan-exclusive bundle sold through Famitsu's retail channels, which means production was limited to pre-orders through that specific pipeline. For collectors who appreciate Compile Heart's Vita-era output, this is one of the harder bundles to track down and one of the more rewarding to display.
