XBX: Tenerezza  JPN  US$60  BUY 
   Having a knack for the magical arts gives green-haired Tenerezza the opportunity to set up a magic shop in which to whittle away her time. Life is good in the town of Esperanza until roving bands of monsters disturb the peace and threaten Ten's little corner of commerce. Unfortunately, the town monster killer has gone missing and it's up to Tenerezza and her band of merry friends to locate the exterminator before all hell breaks loose. Along the way, our heroine and her fairy companion Rollo must dish out as much hurt on the monsters as their tiny frames can muster. Brimming with lush environments, cute anime characters and chirping voice action, Tenerezza is exactly what the Xbox needed to attract bands of Japanese RPG fans to the fold. Sort of.

WSC: Kinnikuman 2-Sei: Choujin Seisenshi  JPN  US$49  BUY 
   After releasing GBA and GC versions of Kinnikuman in the past couple of months, Bandai adds a little more mileage to their franchise with a Wonderswan original. Unlike those earlier action-based Kinnikumans however, the WSC version takes a different route where players adopt a muscle-bound hero and develop him through actions and choices. Depending on the paths taken, heroes may become good or evil and face opponents of the opposing demeanor. Decisions also affect the way your charge grows and increases in various attributes while mini games determine strength and agility levels. Players may develop up to 5 muscle men and form them into a team for a bid to become the mightiest champions at the annual Superhuman Olympics. While supplies last, orders will include a mini transparent blue action figure.
