X360 Senko no Ronde DUO Limited Edition - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Way before the original Senko no Ronde made the rounds in amusement centers across Japan, a vector-based game with a similar theme was being enjoyed stateside. Cinematronics' Space Wars pitted two ships against each other against a starry black backdrop that sort of looked like outer space. By thrusting, shooting, swerving, and thrusting some more, the two ships engaged in a deadly ballet of space-based warfare. 'Twas good times and it only took 30 years for another company to explore and update the one-vs-one space fighter theme.

Senko no Ronde features mech-ships known as "Rounders" which are capable of dashing around the screen, pivoting on its own axis, and shooting like the dickens. On any given stage, one Rounder faces off against another Rounder and the two blast away at each other with conventional vulcan fire, exotic ordnance, and the occasional mega blast while attempting to dodge incoming fire of varying intensities. The sequel Senko no Ronde DUO is more of the same game bolstered with new characters, brand spanking new ships, technique updates, and partner mechs who lend a helping hand.

The long-awaited (in certain circles) Xbox 360 conversion of Senko no Ronde DUO is accompanied by the release of a First Print Limited Edition which includes a "Character Voice Drama CD" at the price of JPY8800 or US$95.90 from NCS.

Roughly 35% of our preorders for the limited edition of Senko no Ronde DUO are shipping today. The remainder and all reservations for the regular edition of the game will ship tomorrow when everything else arrives.
