Agarest Senki - New Import

In a world known as Agarest, five continents hold sway over the lineage of a family which spans five generations. The game starts off with an aristocrat-cum-knight named Leonhardt who's decked with feathered hair and wears a crisp military uniform with white Versace overcoat. Leonhardt has been assigned to a guard post but deserts the military life after much disenchantment with war. In the process of going AWOL, he's mortally wounded by a conspiracy of events but he's given a second chance at life by a deity. In exchange for his services, Leon is revived and made into a Soul Container which allows him to live a normal life and sire offspring with one of three possible maidens to continue his bloodline.
Agarest Senki mixes interaction with tactical turn-based battles where Leonhardt hunkers down to strategize on skirmishes and then develops a relationship with a girl. After Leonhardt's chapter is over, his son Radius takes over the family business and woos a bride to continue the bloodline... and so on and so forth for a total of five generations.

Bass Fishing Wii: Rokumaru Densetsu - In Stock

During her career, Chisato Morishita has provided her services as a Race Queen and as a gravure model for photo books and numerous photo shoots. Chisato has parlayed her looks into acting and singing gigs but never has she used her talents to promote a fishing game. That is, until now. Arc Systems taps the model for Bass Fishing Wii and perhaps starts a trend for games that are mainly targeted at a male audience.
True to its namesake, Bass Fishing is about sailing out to a serene lake, casting a lure, and then waiting for the bass to bite. Thanks to the motion-sensitive Wiimote controller, players use the remote like an actual fishing rod. A number of lure casting methods are possible:

Overhead cast: Move the Wiimote in a 180 arc that begins behind your shoulder and ends around your waistline.
Side hand cast: Flick the Wiimote in a quick left-to-right motion.
Back hand cast: Flick the Wiimote in a quick right-to-left motion.

Once a bass bites the line, snag it by whipping the remote to the left or right and reel it in by pressing the "A" or "B" button on the Wiimote and pat yourself on the back while mouthing, "Atta boy!"

It also includes elements like the “Reiatsu” system where both the player and his opponent share the same gauge to “release” and execute devastating killer moves and super hidden moves. Includes the “reiatsu dash” to rush towards the enemy. and the tables-turning “awakening” state. Every duel can be said to be changing with every moment and there is nary a dull moment.

Creator's Labo 15: Evangelion Rei Ayanami

In traditional toy licensing for the Rei Ayanami character, the blue-haired moppet is usually dressed in a skin-tight plug suit or in school clothing. Been there and done that. To death. After 100-200 incarnations of the same thing, the target audience tends to lose interest and glaze over after a while.
Rather than beat the dead horse which is skeletal by now, toy manufacturers have taken Rei in new and radical directions where she dons swimsuits, snazzy Christmas outfits, and even wedding dresses. Shunya Yamashita takes a stab at rendering Rei in a new way and Mitsumasa Yoshizawa performs the final sculpting. The result is a futuristic version of Ms Ayanami that's not only chic but mod subculture casual. Rei's pose is evocative of Space Channel 5's Ulala or maybe Mylene Hoffman from Shotaro Ishinomori's 009-1 serial. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2007 at US$68 per figure.
