King of Fighters XII USB Joystick - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Japanese manufacturer Exar releases a PS3 USB joystick that's decorated with KOF XII character artwork. If you're a Wii Tatsunoko vs Capcom player, the design of the joystick may look similar because it's the same exact form-factor as Exar's Tatsunoko stick. A 35mm lollipop-style joystick is located on the left whilst six buttons reside on the right. The characters shown on the top of the panel are: Terry Bogard, Athena, Ryo Sakazaki, Ash Crimson, Iori Yagami, and Kyo Kusanagi.
The joystick contacts against clicky micro-switches which sound off with every tug and the buttons have a good springy feel to them.

Neo Geo Stick 2 USB - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» We have a soft spot in our hearts for the original Neo Geo AES controller. Sure, it's not the best nor the snappiest joystick we've ever manhandled but there's a certain design aesthetic to the controller that still appeals to our Neo Geo lovin' souls. Exar probably knows our kind so they're showing love to SNK's Neo Geo joystick once more with a new production that ships this week for the Playstation 3.
The four main buttons (Square, X, Triangle, O) are arranged in a diagonal row on the left side of the controller and the Dual Shock 3's trigger buttons are mapped to the little sliver-buttons located to the east and south of the main buttons.

Armored Core 3 Portable - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» A catastrophic conflagration on the Martian surface forces the denizens of the planet below the crust once again. Relegated to a dismal existence in a social system known as "Layered," the survivors live under the auspices of a computer program called "The Controller" which directs the comings and goings in the subterranean city. Aspiring peons and drudges born into the world of Layered are able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps by joining the ranks of the Ravens. Mercenaries by trade, Ravens bear the emblem of whoever's willing to pay top dollar for their services. Most eager to pay are vast and, by default, sinister corporations which jockey for control of the Martian subsurface - Crest, Kisaragi, and Mirage.

Armored Core places players in control of a mechanical marauder that's fast and destructive. Outfit your bot with a dizzying array of parts including new arms, heads, and legs from a total of 14 categories. Once the Raven is ready for action, launch it into escort and/or firefight missions along with the occasional foray where your Raven provides defense or a diversion. New wrinkles to the tried and true Armored Core gameplay include armored consorts, air support, and "Exceed Orbits." At the outset of the game, players have to tackle a trial mission to ensure that their mech handling skills are adequate to join the ranks of the Ravens. The PSP version of Armored Core 3 features an ad hoc communication mode where players may link up with friends for a Raven battle royale and true 16:9 widescreen for an expansive view of the action.

Wii Black Japanese System - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Wii has dominated the latest generation of gaming consoles for a couple of years now and millions of players own a basic white Wii in their living rooms. NCS has three of them which are used in heavy rotation throughout the year. In this day and age of multiple choices and variants, it's a little hard to believe that the Wii has only been available in white. That is, until now. Nintendo announced the Black Wii last month and Japanese distributors released the units on Monday of this week.
The Black Wii features a glossy patina that'll look doubly cool when the lights are low. Not so low that you can't see anything but "dusky" so that some details and gloss can still be discerned.

Remote Controller [Black] - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Nintendo colors the Wii juggernaut black this week with the Japanese launch of the Wii console and three accessories which are all painted with a glossy black patina. The Remote Controller [Black] offers the same functions as the standard Remote Controller [White] and it's regulation hardware. There's nothing different inside but the shell that encases the circuitry is black. Mysterious. Alluring. Sort of.

We synced the remotes to one of our Wii consoles this morning and noticed the blue LEDs have a nice contrast against the black shell. Dirt is also less noticeable on the black Remote but one drawback is that fingerprints and finger grease are more noticeable on the black controller than on a white controller. Nintendo includes a silicon holder with every controller to improve the grip. Preorders will begin shipping today.
