It is set in the future and is about how piracy has killed the game industry, thew characters are each a personification of a game console and you have to fight to stop piracy, the piracy is called Arfoire ( you know the device you can put any ds game on and play it), the characters are loveable, i really do recommend this game, its an older game so is not a bad price on amazon now or u could pick it up used.
