Wii Calling: Kuroki Chakushin - Japanese Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The "survival horror" genre has been under-represented on the Wii but Hudson contributes a new title for the console later this year.

In Calling: Kuroki Chakushin, players take on the role of a hero who explores dark environs armed only with a mobile phone and a puny flashlight. By creeping around with purpose and intent towards unraveling a mystery, the protagonist eventually gets to trek through limbo and encounter discarnate entities and spirits who may or may not have malicious intentions. The phone and flashlight are both controlled through manipulation of the Wii Remote.

Preorders are welcome to ship on November 19, 2009 at JPY5800 or US$60.90 from NCS.

NDS WireWay - Japanese Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Take control of a grinning alien creature named "Wiley Springer" who uses tensile wires to sling his way through 60 stages with a vertical aspect bent. When Wiley clings to a wire, players use the stylus to tap and pull downwards on the wire and then release to send him hurtling through the air. By adjusting the amount of tension on the wire, Wiley will be thrown with a certain amount of propulsion to reach the next wire, bumper, or springboard. Wiley battles alien minions but his ultimate mission is rescuing his true love Cythera from the clutches of an evil alien overlord.

Preorders for the Japanese import version of WireWay are welcome to ship on November 5, 2009 but please note the domestic USA version is scheduled to ship 2 days earlier on November 3, 2009.

SOTW Hori Handle Controller for Nintendo Famicom - Sale

NCS Sale of the Week Offering: August 31, 2009
Original Release in Japan: March 30, 1989

«©NCSX»
New and factory boxed Hori Handle Controller which was released for the original Famicom over 20 years ago. The controller was designed for use with the Famicom version of Afterburner but can also be used with racing games. A connector cable is included inside the box to attach the controller to the Famicom console (with applicable port accessory) or the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Product Condition
: NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed but please note the outer cardboard box has suffered the ravages of time. As such, the cardboard has dings, dents, and wear and tear caused by two decades in warehouse storage and warehouse-to-warehouse transport. Please also note that the suction cups on the bottom of the controller look a little rough and somewhat deteriorated. We're guessing the type of plastic used to make the suction cups wasn't designed for long-term utility. The rest of the plastic used to create the controller is however still shiny and sharp-looking.

Sale Offering
:
Pricing per controller is set at US$58.90 each. If you reside within the continental US, NCS recommends shipping by UPS Ground for the most economical domestic carriage cost.
