I present you with the great question… greater than musings about the Earth, the stars, or the universe… greater perhaps even than any inquiry or investigation into the meaning of life. The greatest question of all, I pose to you:
What is a Rondo?
No doubt, as soon as you read the subject line of this email, you were struck with this question, compelled by it, obsessed with it.

Route Maneuvers allow you to hit all enemies in your path and enhance your attack or defense, while managing your Momentum Counter to gain stat bonuses and control who your enemies target becomes critical to success! Challenging gameplay, a lengthy campaign, deep party management, and customizable skills all come together to make Rondo of Swords a compelling fantasy strategy RPG package. Cleanse the sacred blade, protect the princess, and vanquish the oppressing armies of your enemy on your quest to deliver the Kingdom of Bretwalde from tyranny!

You can then fire up any NES/Famicom cart you want and either play on the DS or on a TV via the A/V cables included.
