Witch Tale Mirai Majo to Seven Hime - New, In Stock

«©NCSX» It's been a millennium since a rampaging coven of witches was sealed in a tome by a goddess named Alice. Enter an apprentice witch named Ridell who unsuspectingly breaks the seal and releases the beastly witch coven into the world once more. Mournful of her folly, Ridell resolves to venture forth and recapture the witches and seal them all into the tome once again. To accomplish her quest, Ridell teams up with a vampire named Louis and travels to seven different kingdoms to find the goddess Alice and some much needed answers. Along the way, she'll also level-up, attract cohorts, and gain enough experience to tackle the Witch Queen herself. The controls are handled entirely through the NDS stylus where tapping the touch screen triggers attacks, magic, and other actions. The "Revolver Icon System" in the game also allows for dragging commands into action.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Drama. Haruhi would be lost without it since she craves drama like the sand craves the surf. Haruhi even wants drama when attending summer school and she recruits the members of the SOS-Brigade to help her uncover the "Seven Mysterious Secrets" of North High School.

Sega presents an original storyline set in the Suzumiya Haruhi Universe which takes place inside the confines of North H.S. The game starts innocently enough with an SD version of Kyon setting things in motion with news of the "Mysterious Secrets" followed by Haruhi's steadfast determination to ferret them out. A lengthy introductory sequence sets up the story in visual novel style but eventually gives way to a point and click action game where Kyon is moved and controlled around the school. By interacting with the student body as well as fellow members of the SOS-Dan, Kyon and friends uncover the mysteries of their school.

Yuusha 30 - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Humans and demons have warred against each other for five centuries. Satan has grown tired of the battles and he's started to cast a devastating magical spell to obliterate the world. Before that happens however, a party of valiant heroes has 30 seconds to rise up, defeat the demons, and save the world from certain doom. To enforce the 30-second rule, a timer on the top of the screen keeps track of how much time has elapsed in each bite-sized portion of the game. To reset the clock, players may run into towns and donate gold to goddess statues to gain another 30 seconds. The first donation to the goddess is invariably 100G but grows in size at every turn. The world exploration sequences are viewed from an overhead perspective while battles shift the view to a side scrolling interlude where monsters are mowed down by barreling forward. Yuusha 30 boils the conventional RPG down to it's base elements and crams what usually to take hours in a conventional RPG into the space of a few seconds. The visual style of the game hearkens back to the 8-bit heyday but with 32-bit gloss.

NCS completed 10 self-contained adventures this morning in the space of 20 rapid-fire minutes. Each quest takes less than 2 minutes to complete from start to finish and your hero's stats reset after every adventure. The formula for every quest is identical however which can lead to tedium. The basic framework for every single adventure is as follows: Roam the land, battle monsters to level up and gain gold, reset the clock, and then go after the enemy boss who resides in his castle. That's pretty much it and there's few hundred quests like that...

Juicy Honey Special Edition Kirara Asuka - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Earlier this year, trading card purveyor Sakurado celebrated JAV actress Kirara Asuka with her very own collection of cards dubbed the Kirara Asuka Official Card Collection. We got an eyeful of Asuka back then and it looks like we're going to see even more of her this summer.

Mint has announced their own collection dedicated to Kirara Asuka which features the actress in Jersey Cards, Photo Cards, Nipple Stamp Cards (no typo), and the highly valuable DNA Cards which contain a strand of Kirara's card. Y'know, just in case you want to clone her sometime in the future. Mint also touts a new type of card called the "Action Card" which may show Ms Kirara in some sort of kinetic pose. We're assuming Asuka's going to be photographed in a scene that's sports related such as throwing a baseball or flinging a javelin. Maybe she'll go fishing for some rainbow trout.

Preorders for the Juicy Honey Special Edition Kirara Asuka cards are welcome to ship on July 25, 2009 at JPY6300 or US$75.90 per box from NCS.

Kujikawa Rise 1/8 Scale Swimsuit Version - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Wave has already started preorders for their Kujikawa Rise figure but Alter one-ups them with a new Kujikawa figure that's in direct contrast to Wave's dark-garbed rendition. Alter's version of Rise is as bright as the beach under a noontime sun where the idol wears a two-piece "Persona 4" bikini that's colored yellow and orange. If you look closely at the right cup of the bikini top, the URL for the Persona 4 website may be viewed.

The Kujikawa figure is sculpted to 1/8 scale and measures 22cm or 8.66" tall. A pair of matching strappy sandals may be seen on Rise's feet and her hair appears to be shabby. The wind rolling in from the ocean tends to be strong and will dishevel even well coiffed idols. Accessories included with the Kujikawa figure include a pair of beach glasses that may be mounted on her face and a cell phone attached to a miniature Kuma strap that may be gripped by Kujikawa's right hand. Preorders are welcome to ship in late September 2009 at JPY 6800 or US$83.90 from NCS.
