Update: July 27, 2007
«©NCSX» Back in 2006, a Mina Tsukishiro figure was given away as a prize item at arcades in Japan. Collectors and fans scrambled as they're apt to do and the figure sold out quickly. Fast forward to this week's release of the limited edition of Getsumento Heiki Mina: Futatsu no Project M where Idea Factory bundles an exclusive repaint version of the same Mina Tsukishiro figure that was offered up as a prize last year. Think of it as an easier way of obtaining limited edition figures without having to do much scrambling. The Mina Tsukishiro figure measures approximately 20cm or 8" tall and is pre-painted and fully assembled. Mina stands atop a white disc imprinted with the "Futatsu no Project M" logo and raises her arms in a casual victory pose of sorts. Two metallic-paint carrot weapons may be seen behind Mina which are roughly half her height. All preorders have shipped as of yesterday and new orders are welcome. In the PS2 Getsumen Toheiki Mina game, players adopt the role of Dr. Tsukikage who interacts with the girls of the Lunar Rabbit Force in a bid to increase their affinity towards him. As the enforcers of a galactic treaty, the Rabbit Force is always on the lookout for cases of untoward alien influence on Earth culture and more importantly, Earth's sporting events. Once the interaction sequences are done, tactical battles ensue. View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website. Jan Code: 4995857070541
Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» If one were to travel across the Milky Way and visit the countless planets from end to end, one wouldn't find a planet quite like Earth. For example, did you know that Earth is the only planet where competitive sports are played? Well, it's true. When alien civilizations make contact with the people of Earth, the sporting culture of our little planet becomes an interstellar phenomenon. However, the dispersion of Earth's culture brings the bad along with the good. Aliens try to influence the outcome of games and pay off referees to make sure things go a certain way. That won't do. A "hands-off" treaty between alien civilizations is drawn up but such a treaty needs enforcers. Enter the Lunar Rabbit Force whose members are a group of gals all named Mina who are charged with making sure that no alien culture influences Earth's sporting events. Any such behavior will merit a tactical and offensive attack. The PS2 Getsumento Heiki Mina game is broken up into an interactive portion and a battle-tactics portion where action cards are used to attack and trigger special skills. Players take on the role of an original character named Doctor Tsukikage who interacts with the girls of the Rabbit Force and develops an affinity with the ladies.
