Synopsis
«©NCSX»
The arcade version of Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete
Shimatta was released on Naomi cartridge
last summer at the price of JPY178,000. There was no
way we were paying nearly US$2000 for a
cartridge-based game but we did pick up a used copy
from an operator for about $600. The price of
admission gets even better this week when G.Rev
ships an Xbox 360 conversion for roughly US$60.
The game follows the adventures of a lad named
Tomoka Mamoru who's been involved in a car accident.
After he's hit by a speeding vehicle, his soul is
immediately spirited to the underworld by a
priestess who calls herself Fululu Jigokudani. As
the story goes, the gateway to the underworld is
under attack and the spirits who reside there have
been cursed by malevolent forces. Since Fululu can't
fight the oppression by herself, she has summoned
Mamoru and three other heroes to fight on the
underworld's behalf. The summoned protagonists are:
» Tomoka Mamoru - A grade school student who enjoys
baseball
» Miyuki Mayuno - Passive girl with no memory of her
previous life
» Narai Kinya - High school rebel with a yen for
riding motorcycles
» Higatera Beniko - A posh young lady who seems to
enjoy the underworld
Upon starting the game, the camera settles on a
revolving tree which is what Fululu conspired with
to bring Mamoru and company to the underworld.
Players may select any of the five heroes who differ
in their firing patterns which is shown on the lower
right corner of the character selection screen. For
example, Mamoru shoots straight ahead while Beniko
fires her shots in a outwards radiating arc. Fululu
is also a straight shooter but her shots are
governed by orbiting spheres which give her shots a
bit of a twist. Although Mamoru-kun is
a shooter which features vertically
scrolling stages, some stages share commonalities
with the old school run 'n gun games such as
Commando, Ikari Warriors, or
Guerilla War. In these stages, the
characters walk around on the ground and players
move at their own pace instead of being continually
forced upwards. You can walk left, stop, shoot, walk
right, shoot, stop, and then move upwards towards
the inevitable end-level boss.
The Xbox 360 home conversion features updated
graphics, a new playable character (downloadable), a
Practice Mode, a new Story Mode, and a Gallery.
Preorders for the regular edition are welcome along
with a limited edition package which includes a
Soundtrack CD and a Superplay DVD that's being
handled by INH of Insanity DVD fame.
The game and DVD are then inserted inside a
laminated cardboard slipcase.
