General Updates

NEWS Tatsunoko vs Capcom Stateside
NCS recently sold out of the Japanese version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom but we've ordered some more. We'll probably be sitting on those restock copies for a while since Capcom has confirmed that they'll be bringing the game over to North America. There's no date or price announced yet but we're assuming Winter 2009 at a price point of $49.
All that remains for Capcom to do is increase awareness of who exactly the motley crew on the side of Tatsunoko are. Battle of the Planets (Gachaman) was a loooooong time ago and Yatterman, Tekkaman, Ippatsuman, etc never aired in North America.

NEWS Demon's Souls Update
Unlike the special arrangements over each of the past two weeks, no new supplies of Demon's Souls were diverted to NCS' account this week. If there's any change in available supplies in Asia, we'll update accordingly but another production of the game is scheduled for late May 2009.

In the 90s Tatsunoko actively tried to invigorate their action shows of the 70s and made new episodes of several of them, Gatchaman, Casshern and Hurricane Polymar had videos released as well as the Tekkaman Blade TV series that aired in the US.

Gold Lightan is a character that is recognised but not really known, since he is among Mazinger and Doraemon in terms of visibility. Yatterman is the goofy one that people will have no idea about.
