Argus no Senshi: Muscle Impact - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» In the land of Argus, Princess Harmonia is congratulating a gladiator named Zane for his services to the Empire when the ceremony is interrupted by a trio of Titans. A winged Titan grabs hold of Harmonia and Zane rushes to her aid but he's smacked down by another Titan. After falling into a crumbling dungeon and given a weapon known as the Disk Armor by a disembodied voice, Zane's adventure begins...

The latest Argus game from Tecmo features a Story Mode which is played with a conventional control scheme and a Muscle Mode where Wii Remote whipping motion is in play. The Story Mode is fairly straightforward in execution - for example, Zane has to go to point A to trigger an entry to point B and in between the two points, a bunch of enemies have to be killed. The Muscle Mode features fighting action where Zane faces off against a procession of creatures on top of a rocky platform. In Muscle Mode, the Remote is jerked back and forth to simulate the throwing of the Disk Armor at crowds of enemy attackers. The execution somewhat unwieldy and suffers from lag but maybe we just need a little practice. To activate the Disk Armor, you'll have to press and hold the "A" button and whip the Remote forward or sideways. «NCS Game Notes»

Warrior of Argus: Muscle Impact - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» The legendary warrior of Argus returns wielding a weapon known as the Disk Armor which flails outwards with cutting action and prehensile tension. The latest Argus game from Tecmo features Wii Remote whipping action where the controller is jerked back and forth to simulate the throwing of the Disk Armor at crowds of enemy attackers.

The versatility of the Disk Armor allows it to be used in various attack motions, as a grappling hook of sorts, and as a trigger to activate traps and/or ward off assorted dangers in the environment.

Preorders are welcome to ship on December 11, 2008 at JPY6800 or US$66.90 from NCS.
