Super Mario Light Mascot Keychain Series 2 - Preorder

The first series of Super Mario Light Mascot Keychains from earlier this year sold well and the market is primed for another batch of mascots. To fill the global demand for ever more mass produced trinkets, Bandai has announced another set of six Mascot Light characters which is scheduled to ship this summer. The red Kinoko and the Star appear to be the same as the ones from the first set but the Para-Goomba, the Piranha Plant, and the two Koopa Shells are brand spanking new.

Each toy includes a battery inside to power the LED and a miniature slider switch to toggle the light on and off. Each keychain measures approximately 2" in height from the base to the top of the figure. Preorders are welcome to ship in late July 2008.

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch - Lost Colors - In Stock

Enroll in the Ashford Academy and interact with the student body in a new adventure based on the events from the first season of the Code Geass animated series. At the outset of the game, the Student Council President Millay Ashford and Lelouch Lamperouge welcome the player-named protagonist and introduce him to a series of characters. Lost Colors is played like many other visual novels where copious amounts of dialogue is read and the occasional choice is made to fork the story in a new direction. Early in the game, Kaname Ougi, Nina Einstein, Leval Cardemond, and Millay provide much of the interaction but other characters from the animation also make an appearance in later chapters. Karen Stadtfeld of the Black Knights enters the storyline at the conclusion of chapter three.

Bandai recruited the production staff who worked on the animated series to create new and exclusive material for the game. The voice actors for the characters were also hired to provide over 15,000 words and dialogue snippets which are woven into the fabric of the adventure. Lost Colors features over 20 different endings so intrepid gamers can try different actions and choices to reach all of them. «NCS Game Notes»
