Evangelion: Koutetsu no Girlfriend 2nd Portable - Preorder

«©NCSX» The slacker known as Shinji Ikari is sleeping late again when Asuka bellows for him to wake up or they'll be late for school. Rousing from his slumber like the undead, Shinji eventually musters up the energy to join a haughty Asuka in walking to class. On the way there, Ikari crashes into a new girl in town and the two clatter onto the sidewalk. Breakfast pastry on the floor. The girl suffers an unintended revelation and accuses Shinji of catching more than an eyeful. After some protestation by the meek Ikari, Asuka steps in and breaks up the commotion and they proceed to school.

Essentially an alternate retelling of the Evangelion story, Girlfriend of Steel 2 presents the main characters of the immensely popular franchise in a new light. Asuka and Ikari are seemingly going steady and Rei Ayanami is more normal although her past is still mysterious. Light-hearted and free, the fledgling teenagers get a chance to be youthful and irresponsible without the shadow of NERV mongering over them... at least in the beginning. The game is played in interactive flick-screen motion where simple choices decide the path of story progression. The PSP version of the game features updated graphics, video output for the PSP-2000/3000, and an autosave feature.

NCS is accepting preorders for a regular edition of the PSP
Evangelion: Koutetsu no Girlfriend 2nd Portable as well as a limited edition which includes an Asuka Langley case and a Rei Ayanami lanyard. Preorders are welcome to ship on June 11, 2009.
