PSP Toaru Majutsu no Kinsho Mokuroku Limited Edition - Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» To Aru Majutsu no Index is a popular manga/animation which follows the tribulations of a student named Touma Kamijyou who has a special gift. Although average in appearance despite his spiky hair and seemingly normal, Touma has the power to cancel any magic and psychic events with his right arm which he lovingly calls "Imagine Breaker." The powers of sorcerers, mages, and wizards alike are negated when Touma's right arm is lifted in defense. In the early part of the Toaru Majutsu storyline, Touma protects a girl named Misaka Mikoto from bullies but she later reveals her identity to him. Misaka is one of the seven members of "Level 5," an elite group of psychics and her specialty is the ability to create and control electricity. The two have an altercation soon afterwards.

One day after meeting Misaka, Touma encounters a hungry girl named Index who's hanging over the railing on his balcony. She's dressed in a protective nun's uniform that's impenetrable and keeps her from harm. Index also happens to be storing 103,000 magic tomes in her mind thanks to her Perfect Memory Power. The books are all taboo and imprinted into Index's brain by the Church of England to keep them from the magic users and others who would exploit the secret knowledge that they contain. Together, Touma, Misaka, and Index run into other members of the magic-using fraternity that resides within Academy City.

PSP Toaru Majutsu no Kinsho Mokuroku is a 3D action-fighting game where the combatants battle with close-range melee and long-range magic projectile attacks. Fighters choose a partner at the outset whom they can call upon to perform attack combinations. Game modes include a standard "Battle Mode" where fighters go toe-to-toe in a 3D arena and an original "Story Mode" which accentuates the action with a newly scripted tale that was written exclusively for the game.

The limited edition of the game includes an exclusive Misaka Mikoto figma figure which won't be sold in any other capacity. Preorders are welcome to ship on January 27, 2011. It's unclear why Kadokawa Shoten is starting preorders nearly half a year before the ship date but maybe they want to make sure they get their production numbers in as soon as possible.
