PSP Phantasy Star Portable 2 - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The story of Phantasy Star continues later this year in a new edition that's exclusive to the Playstation Portable. The game features new enemies to battle, new wearables, new monsters, and a host of features that should make hardened Phantasy players feel right at home. Character data can be transferred over from the original PSP game but note that items and levels won't be brought over to keep everyone on an even keel when the game debuts.
Preorders are welcome to ship on December 3, 2009 at JPY4800 or US$52.90 from NCS.

PSP Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Mega-CD version of Lunar Silver Star debuted over 17 years ago in 1992 and the game eventually made it to the Sega Saturn in two versions. The first conversion was in 1996 and a Video-CD Card compatible version with nicer cinemas was released a year later.
Remakes are all the rage nowadays because the IP is already out there and audience awareness is built-in. Japanese publisher Gungho is remaking Silver Star for the PSP which includes a new scenario, updated graphics, and re-mastered cinemas. All preorders ship on November 12 and include a bonus soundtrack courtesy of the publisher in 1:1 ratio.

NDS Pokemon HeartGold - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Product Synopsis (Spoiler-free)
«©NCSX» Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver were stellar sellers a few years back when they were released on the Gameboy Color. NCS recalls the reams of invoices we printed and prepared. Since remakes are all the rage nowadays, Nintendo rehashes both Pokemon games and throws in a little handheld pedometer called the PokéWalker which is designed to look like a little Pokéball. The PokeWalker transfers monster data to/from the Nintendo DS via infrared signal. The inclusion of the bonus device is a value added proposition which is intended to motivate buyers.

Upon powering up the game, a short cinema introduces players to the two new protagonists, a few familiar Pokemon, and the sinister squad of antagonists in the game. The title screen features the elegant form of a Houou as it flaps its wings and flies high above the clouds. «Shots»
