PS3 Fight Pad for PlayStation3 - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The product name for MSY's (Mad Catz) Fight Pad for Playstation 3 is unimaginative but it gets the point across succinctly and without a lot of chatter. It's a joypad that's designed for "fighting" but we're confident that "shooting," "running," and even "puzzling" can be conquered by using the Fight Pad. A meaty D-Pad mounted on a circular platform on the left side of the controller allows 8-way directional movement while the six face buttons on the right are arranged in two parallel rows. A turbo-fire option may be toggled so that 18 shots per second are fired by depressing any button. The joypad operates on 2.4GHz and a USB receiver is included with the controller. Preorders are welcome to ship on April 28, 2010.

X360 Monster Hunter Frontier Online Beginner's Package Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Originally a PC-exclusive MMORPG, Capcom is porting Monster Hunter Frontier Online to the Xbox 360. When the PC version was released a few years ago, Capcom banned all foreign IPs from accessing the Monster Hunter Frontier servers. We think it was a case of gaming xenophobia. Despite the ban, savvy gamers outside of Japan were still able to play the game by using a proxy server based in Japan.

In Monster Hunter, players team up with like-minded gamers and go out into a virtual wilderness to slay some wild beasts. Lower-level creatures are easy to dispatch but larger and more formidable monsters take an entire gang of warriors to bring down. Missions and quests may be curried from the Hunter Guild which pay a reward upon successful completion. The Xbox 360 version of MHFO is based on the PC version of the game but Capcom lists 14 original weapons (swords, hammers, etc) that are available in the X360 edition. The preorder details also mention that a bonus DLC card will be given away to early reservations in 50% ratio.

Preorders are welcome to ship on June 24, 2010 at JPY5800 or US$63.90.

TOYS MOS Burger YuraYura Miniature Swing - New, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The general consensus amongst our Japanese compatriots is that MOS Burger cooks up a tasty burger. MOS-B is a Japan-based chain that has been making the rounds in Asia by opening branches and bringing their interpretation of American fast food to the Far East. The company's corporate logo is "Making people happy through food" which is simple and tugs at the heartstrings of the meat-eating everyman who enjoys a good burger. Although hamburgers are their forte, MOS Burger also sells specials such as the "Scallops Rice Burger" which includes scallops instead of cow and a little number called the "Unagi Rice Burger" which features two sticky rice buns (instead of bread) that hold a portion of barbecued eel.

Bandai shows love to MOS Burger with a set of six burger toys slung on keychains. The layers of each burger are independent so they may be stacked together or split apart to show the layers of good eats. In addition to the burger, the MOS Burger corporate logo is also included on a block of red plastic. The six sandwiches featured in the set are as follows:

1) Mos Burger
2) Mos Cheese Burger
3) Teriyaki Burger
4) Fish Burger
5) Kinpira Rice Burger
6) Tokachi Croquette Burger

Although the toys are normally sold randomly through gashapon dispensers in Japan, NCS is assembling the toy burgers in complete sets of six which are priced at US$20.90. New orders are welcome to ship today.

TOYS Sakura Buncho Bunny Lalaby (Rarabi) - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Kaitendoh's upcoming Bunny Lalaby figure eschews circular anime eyes, exaggerated anime expressions, and unusual anime proportions. With all that eschewing going on, what's left for the Bunny figure are lifelike eyes, realistic facial features, and a properly proportioned dancer's body. Ms Bunny poses like an idol with outstretched arms, a power stance, and a look that exudes confidence. A girl doesn't stare out into the world like that unless she's got inherent X-factor qualities.

The Bunny Lalaby figure is sculpted to 1/6 scale and measures 22cm (8.66") tall. The construction material is candy resin which is capable of holding onto skin tones better than standard resin. Preorders are welcome to ship in June 2010 at JPY13800 or US$148.90 from NCS.
