Derby Stallion DS - Preorder

Practically unknown in the USA but big in Japan, the Derby Stallion series of games have always commanded a premium price as well as general adoration from the Japanese gaming press. Enterbrain has opened up preorders for an upcoming NDS version of Derby Stallion which features touch-pen tapping to develop and build a horse racing empire.

Players start the game with a certain amount of capital with which to purchase the first yearling (after checking its pedigree and bloodline) and hire the staff who'll run the day to day affairs of the horse business. The game will feature updated 2008 horse and jockey data to give players a sense of operating within the real equine racing world. Preorders are welcome to ship on June 26, 2008 at JPY5800 or US$53.90 from NCS.
