Neverland Kenkyuufu (aka Neverland Reportage): Neverland Long time gamers should be familiar with the Neverland series of games, and now Idea Factory compiled five titles which were first released on the PlayStation® console in one package, a sincere gift to gamers who like this series. Preserving the basis of the highly strategic SRPG system with strong drama elements, new systems like picture viewing for the various objects, movies and combat data accessing in the course of battles are added. The most special feature of the compilation is the complete remake of the first Spectral Force with new graphics and movies.

Games included:
- Spectral Force: The first Spectral Force game for Playstation was released on 1997 and it features battles of groups of 1000 vs. 1000 & 40 countries in the world of Never Land to select the aim of unification. This is the story which became to be called Never Land Great War later. A hero knocked the Devil down just as a legend. After the Devil had died, a country was splited and people begin to fight.

- Spectral Force 2: The sequel to "Spectral Force" is set in a fantasy world called Neverland. The ruler of Demon Kingdom, Janes, was defeated by the hero Chiffon, leaving behind a son and a daughter, the children of his human wife. The two half-demons strive to regain the lost power. The sister Hiro re-builds the Demon Kingdom, while the brother Jadou finds a way to communicate with our world, and summons a Japanese schoolgirl who soon becomes a mighty warrior under his guidance. This sets the stage for further wars that once again begin to plague the Neverland...

This is a strategy war game in which you can play as one of the many kingdoms, including those that do not have a direct influence on the main story. You fortify your castles, hire generals, defend your country and invade others throughout several years. You can choose a combat strategy for your troops. Their strength depends on the special abilities and morale of the generals, as well as on weather and terrain. You can also cast magic spells in combat.

- Spectral Blade: Spectral Blade is an RPG game that as all the games (as Suna no Enbrace) made by Idea Factory takes place in the Neverland fantasy world. The player takes the role of a member of the Imperial army that got the mission of destroy the monsters that are on a dungeon and are send by an evil master. When he reached the dungeon he noticed that the fate of the World maybe will depend of the success of his quest, but he's lucky that he will not have to complete the mission on his own since he will have the help of other heroes that wants to stop that evil army.

- Spectral Force - The Band of Meymay Knights (Seishoujo Gaiden Junjou De Karen Meymay Shikidan): is the fourth and latest one in the series for the Playstation console. In this game the player controls a mercenary that arrives to an island and is hired by the Meymay knights army (female knights) to take them to victory.

- Suna no Embrace: In the dry continent of Eden, there is a pure, if not a bit naive, girl, named Nebel. In honor of the words her grandmother left her, "See the various things of the world, experience everything," she left on a journey. But monsters await her in the endless desert. Hearing the faint warning of the wind, yet continuing on her journey of trials, Nebel, before long, will meet with the one man of her fate. But, before this, they must stand and face more difficult trials together. What will await these two people at the end of the aimless journey?
