NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» On October 12, 2009, the Yamanote Line celebrated its 100th Anniversary and the East Japan Railway Company painted some trains "Meiji Chocolate Brown" to commemorate the event. It was a corporate promotional gimmick and Meiji Chocolate celebrates its own 100th Anniversary in 2026; NCS predicts another Meiji-Yamanote Line promo.
The NDS Densha de Go! Tokubetsu Hen Fukkatsu! Shouwa no Yamanote Line game allows gamers to play the part of conductor and operate a train on the Yamanote Line. As a conductor, your job is to ferry passengers on the circular-shaped line which touches 29 stations in total and carries over 3 million passengers to their daily rounds. A "Showa Mode" in the game allows players to travel back in time to the 1950s and conduct trains across routes from those years. A training mode, license mode, and a gallery mode are also included for locomotive-gaming variety.
