NCS Week of August 21, 2000





	Capcom vs SNK gets a poster

DC Prismaticallization	US$53
Three new DC imports arrived this morning and pre-orders will ship today. Prismaticallization Published by Arc System Works A cute storyline that mirrors Bill Murray's escapade in the movie Groundhog Day. The player lives a day in the life that keeps repeating itself. To break the monotony, your goal is to find the subtle differences in each ensuing day to release yourself from the neverending routine. Anime backdrop and characters provide the interactive foil.

DC Rune Caster	US$53
Rune Caster Published by Noisia Using magic to summon monsters, your on-screen wizard sends beasts into battle to defeat opposing wizards on all coasts. A variety of monsters with different attributes and special elemental attacks may be summoned by way of runes that you cast in this tactical adventure. Once a battle is set up, the screen shifts over to a 3-D representation of the conflict. The two-player game divides the screen into halves to show each player's perspective of the battling action. Network capable. Company homepage: N/A
DC Rune Jade	US$53
Rune Jade Published by Hudson The island of Solnia has lived in peace from monster-kind for centuries. However, the script calls for trouble to start brewing again and the player is called to arms to battle back the hordes. Upon starting the game, four classes are available for the choosing ranging from knight, ninja, grappler, and rune master. The rune master is an adept magic user for those who prefer playing wizards. Rune Jades are used in the game to power up items with special technique. Network capable. Company homepage: http://www.hudson.co.jp
