The promo also features the theme song “way to answer” by fripSide.

The video highlights the involvement of A Certain Scientific Railgun/A Certain Magical Index creator Kazuma Kamachi as a supervisor, as well as the anime cast who voiced all of the game’s dialogue. The game also features newly animated sequences.

The title has three forms of gameplay. In the conversation part, the player can interact with the characters seen in the anime version and obtain information key to unraveling the mysteries in the story. In the “special deduction” part’s girls-talk mode, the player talks with four characters and then makes decisions on what to do next. This leads to the “special deduction” part’s judgment mode where the closer the players gets to the truth, the higher the game’s gauge rises. In the action part, the characters are recreated in 3D graphics for battles.

-via ANN

The limited first edition of the game will bundle a figma figure of the character Shirai Kuroko, and all pre-ordered copies will include an exclusive screen-cleaning cloth illustrated by J.C. Staff. Preorder details below.

Shirai Kuroko figurine also available, out this July 2011. You can take the two figurines to form the picture below.

It’s too bad that the hair color for Mikoto is really horrible. It’s a little too faint. Could it be the strong lighting that is washing away the colors of the figurine? xD.

Before 2010 Is Over – Backlogged Loots [Part 2] http://zotaku.com/2010/12/29/before-2010-is-over-%e2%80%93-backlogged-loots-part-2/ http://zotaku.com/2010/12/29/before-2010-is-over-%e2%80%93-backlogged-loots-part-2/#comments Wed, 29 Dec 2010 06:22:03 +0000 zenical http://zotaku.com/?p=11863 Here’s part 2 of my backlogged loots! These loots are for the month of November and Early December ^^.

Part 2

  • SCANDAL – Nanka Buttobase [Limited Edition Type A,B,C]
  • Akiyama Mio Phone Strap
  • Nana Mizuki CLIPS 5 [Blu-ray]
  • 4 SCANDAL T-shirts [AFAX]
  • Railgun Mousepad
  • Akiyama Mio Strap
  • Nendoroid Puchi Angel Beats! Set 01
  • Nendoroid Nagato Yuki
  • Nendoroid Suzumiya Haruhi [Disappearance Ver.]
  • Nendoroid Dead Master
  • Fate Mousepads

So SCANDAL’s Nanka Buttobase has 3 Limited Editions, and I couldn’t not buy them! 3 pin badges came along with the singles.

Nana Mizuki CLIPS 5 in Blu-ray. A pity that not all the PVs are in HD quality.

SCANDAL T-shirts. I bought a total of 4 at AFAX this year. Yes there are only 3 in the picture because 1 of them has been opened :D

Sadly by the time I was able to enter KKnM’s booth this year.. There wasn’t much stuff for me to purchase -_-. I only bought a mousepad orz.

Fate mousepads!! I love all of them! Despite them being mousepads, I won’t be using any of them. Maybe I’ll paste them up for display instead :P
