NCS Product Synopsis
Update: August 06, 2010
«©NCSX»
Back in the year 2000, Namco was still an
independent entity and publishing their passel of game
software on the consoles and handhelds of the day.
One of their more notable releases that year was
Tales of Phantasia Narikiri Dungeon for
the humble Gameboy Color. In the game, a teen
heroine named Mel and her twin brother Dio are all
of 13 years old and they travel the dungeons of
Phantasia with a pet named Couleur. Mel, Dio, and
Couleur don't look like much but they've got skills
and Couleur possesses special morphing capabilities.
The Gameboy rendition of Narikiri Dungeon was an engaging and
enjoyable RPG that featured a clothing-change
system, tools to use, and skillful tactics such as
healing and special attacks. The clothing-change
system allows the siblings to wear certain clothes
which impart special abilities to the wearer. For
example, one outfit would change Mel into a bona
fide sorceress while another gave her the skills of
a thief along with 64 other clothing styles. Dio
also has 66 clothing styles to wear including one
which changes him into Heiachi of Tekken fame and
another which transforms him into Pac-Man. The
siblings travel through time, go on missions, and
make use of the versatile
Narikiri costume change system.
Fast forward to the present day and Namco Bandai
rehashes TOPND for the PSP and they're also
adding a remake of the original Tales of
Phantasia game from the Super Famicom on the UMD
as a bonus. New costumes have been added for Mel and
Dio to wear in the PSP update. Early preorders will
include a bonus Dramatic DVD that's being given away
in 50% ratio.
