PSP Yuusha 30 Second - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» If bite-sized adventuring is your kind of game, you were probably pleased with Yuusha 30 from 2009. Players had 30 seconds to quest, battle, and explore dungeons before having to replenish the time. Fans of the first adventure should be prepared to be pleased once again with Marvelous' sequel to the game Yuusha 30 Second. In the followup to Yuusha 30, players take on the role of a pint-sized hero who travels the land in search of towns, monsters, and extra time.

  To enforce the 30-second rule, a timer on the top of the screen keeps track of how much time has elapsed in each bite-sized portion of the game. To reset the clock, players may run into towns and donate gold to goddess statues to gain another 30 seconds. The first donation to the goddess is invariably 100G but grows in size at every turn. Yuusha 30 Second features five game modes as follows:

» Hero 30 Overture - Featuring the original hero Yuusha
» Hero 30 Judgment - Featuring the original hero Yuusha
» Hero 30 Revolution - Featuring new heroine named Yuushia
» Hero 30 Ragnarok - Featuring a new hero named Yuja
» Hero 30 Destiny - The hero for the fifth mode is to be revealed

   Along with the main game mode, players may also enjoy a wireless multiplayer mode where up to four players can link up and quest together. For gamers who like to design their own adventures, a level creation mode gives players the tools to build their own little quests and share them online. Preorders are welcome to ship on February 10, 2011.

PSP SD Gundam G-Generation World - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis

X360 Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The heroines in Muchi Muchi Pork are portly and Rubenesque in physique but that shouldn't deter anyone from enjoying Cave's vertical shooter which was originally released in the Spring of 2007. Brightly hued and filled with pastel luminescence, MMP was a highly sought-after kit amongst the Japanese coin-op collecting community. That collecting-fever will probably change when Cave releases the home conversion of the game on the Xbox 360 next year. Along with MMP, Cave's also bundling Pink Sweets on the DVD which is related to Ibara.

   In Pink Sweets, Mother Theresa, the sixth Guardian in Ibara, did not die. Neither did any of the Rose sisters. We know this because they're back in Cave's Pink Sweet's where they've shifted from the dark side to the light. Players get to pilot the gals and use a barrier/shot system to defeat flitting enemies as well as end level bosses of the pastel-colored type. The first boss looks like a tinker toy version of Robby the Robot from the Forbidden Planet. During the game, the gals yelp and intonate various sayings to steel themselves for battle... NCS is accepting reservations for a regular edition of the two-pack at JPY6800 or US$80.90 and a limited edition which is packed with a bonus DLC to unlock the Cave Festival version of Pink Sweets and a 2-CD Sountrack for Muchi Muchi Pork and Pink Sweets.
