Developed in conjunction with Los Angeles-based creative agency WAYPOINT, the site has now soft launched and features a huge variety of official KONAMI brand merchandise, from home goods to a variety of apparel, accessories, specialty items, and classic collectibles.
With ever-growing interest from fans for KONAMI-brand items, this new eStore provides direct access to items from some of its most iconic brands, including Castlevania, Metal Gear, Goemon, Suikoden, eFootball PES and others that will roll out in the coming months.
