Japan will play Quantum of Solace courtesy of Square Enix

James Bond is traveling to Japan this March when Quantum of Solace finally releases on the PS3, 360, PS2 and Wii in the region. Activision Blizzard has handed the publishing rights to Square Enix for the game's eastern release, where it will be named 007: Nagusame no Houshuu. Quantum of Solace's March 26th release date means it will be arriving a bit late when compared to the movie itself, despite it only just reaching Japan within the last week.

We're not sure how well Quantum of Solace is likely to sell in the far east, but presumably Square Enix thinks there's some money to be made from it. As Activision has shut up shop in the region, handing the publishing rights over to Japanese publishers looks to become a regular occurrence. We weren't expecting Square Enix to be the first to take advantage of this, but who knows, perhaps sticking its name on the box will actually help increase sales
