Shion no Ou - New Import, In Stock

When Shion Yasuoka was merely four years old, her parents were murdered in their own home. The only clue recovered by the police was a bloody Shogi O-sho or "Jeweled General" game piece. Through flashbacks, Shion deduces that whomever killed her parents is a Shogi player so she learns the game and enters Shogi tournaments in a bid to uncover secrets which may help solve her family's murder mystery.

The NDS adaptation of Shion no Ou includes a Story Mode which follows the plot of the animated series along with a Shogi Tutorial and a standard Shogi game mode where players face off against eight characters from the animation. Mycom hired the voice actors from the series to provide speech snippets which play during a Shogi match.
