Mahō Sensei Negima!? Neo-Pactio Fight!!



'Mahō Sensei Negima!? Neo-Pactio Fight!!' is a game for the Wii based upon the anime Negima!?: Magister Negi Magi. It was released in Japan only on June 12 2007. It's the third Negima game to be released on a Nintendo game console (After Mahou Sensei Negima! and its sequel on the GBA), and the first console Negima game not published by Konami.

Gameplay
''Mahō Sensei Negima!? Neo-Pactio Fight!!'' is a 3-D fighting game. The arenas in the game are in full-time 3D, and the characters can move in any direction, as well as jump. Up to four players can play in Battle Mode. Controls are operated by using both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk (the Classic Controller and Wii Remote (used sideways) are also supported as control methods). Certain attacks and moves involving quickly moving the Wii Remote left and right or up and down. By getting a Pactio Card, one can activate a Pactio transformation like in Negima!?, randomly (though possible to control) becoming one of the three different forms: Armor (powerful version of your character, using a very powerful attack), Cosplay (character dresses up in costumes, and boosts the characters abilities), and Suka (or "Miss", in which your character is transformed into a weak super-deformed animal, such as a Kappa in Kaede's case).

The art style of the game (as well as many of its characters' moves) is based on the second Negima TV series Negima!?, and not on the original manga by Ken Akamatsu or the first anime. In between fights, cut-scenes done in the style of Negima!? are shown, featuring voice-acting from the seiyuu of both anime adaptations.
