PS3 Hokuto Musou - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the Hokuto no Ken animated series, the heroic Kenshiro Kasumi wanders the wastelands of the future and plays the part of lawman. Ken battles gangs of bandits and thugs to bring a bit of law and civility back into the world. Kenshiro and company have appeared in a number of games in the past few years including a selection of pachi-slot challenges. Koei takes the Hokuto no Ken franchise and immerses it into their "Musou" game engine which most recently hosted the Gundam universe.
In Hokuto Musou, Kenshiro battles groups of bare-chested bruisers who wear leather pants. They'll crowd around Ken like a pack of wolves but he can fend them off by punching, kicking, and using the almighty
Hokuto Shinken martial art which is capable of destroying enemies from within. Body blows result in copious spurts of blood which eject from thug bodies and some attacks turn foes into what can only be described as "Sloppy Joes." Without the bread.

PSP Prinny 2: Toukou Yuugi! Akatsuki no Pantsu Daisakusen!!

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Thanks to Prinny's valiant efforts in the first Prinny game on PSP, gluttony still exists in the world of Disgaea. In particular, mistress Etna was exceptionally hungry for her dessert in the original game which Prinny helped to satiate. In the sequel, a panty-thieving fiend has snuck into Etna's boudoir and spirited away her skivvies. We imagine them to be lacy, dainty, and irresistible to the type of individual who steals underwear. That's where Prinny rolls in once again to bring back Etna's drawers before outright war is announced.

Similar to the first game, Prinny runs from left to right across platform stages and attacks with both sword and eldritch magic. Brand new enemies, challenges, and new Prinny techniques give the sequel added attraction for fans. Prinny may perform the following moves:

» Standard sword slash where enemies are hacked to death
» Leaping projectile attack where Prinny jumps upwards and fires away
» Plunging dive where Prin flies up and then hurtles down diagonally
» Wario-style butt-bounce attack where Prinny lands on enemies
» Weaponry such as flamethrowers and firearms may be utilized

Prinny carries a sword in each wing for double slashing action. He can perform a diving slide move and a twirling motion which allows him to bypass obstacles as well as whack enemies with his rapidly spinning self.

PSP Eve Burst Error The First - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Ace private dick Kojiro Amagi and his partner in crime, government agent Marina Hojou, have collaborated on various missions throughout their respective careers. Kojiro's a hard luck detective with a thin client list and an office near warehouses while Marina is an ace agent who has solved nearly every case she has been assigned. One day while on a case, the dynamic duo stumble onto something bigger and more sinister than anything they've worked on before.

Eve Burst Error was originally released for the Japanese PC in 1995 and the game was upgraded and converted for the Sega Saturn in 1997. The game has sold over 350,000 copies in Japan and has spawned a number of sequels. In 2003, a Playstation 2 remake titled Eve Burst Error Plus was released which featured updated visuals, animations, and aurals. Fast forward to 2010 and Kadokawa Shoten returns to the till for another remake - this time on the portable confines of the PSP.

The visual style featured in Eve the First is a complete revamp over the original game and the producers are adding a new scenario, new supporting characters, and updated music tracks. Kojiro and Marina have been rendered to look edgier, more fashionable, and have a new glossiness about them. The game system has also been updated so that the story flows more freely and is paced like a visual novel.
