 «©NCSX» The first day of preorders for Mushihimesama HD have already surpassed the first day preorder numbers for Under Defeat, Mushihimesama Futari v1.5, and Espgaluda II Black Label.

X360 Mushihimesama HD - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Every two centuries, the monstrous insects of the Forest of Pearls have demanded a teenage human sacrifice from the kingdom of Starfall. It's about that time but winds of change are in the air. To put an end to the barbaric ritual, the precocious 15-year old Princess Reko straddles a golden-shelled beetle named Kiniro and works her way through insect-filled levels where purple buckshot chokes the air with their density. Guide Reko through mazes of moving blips and use beetle firepower to take on all comers.

   Reko shoots for her life with the following weapons:

M-Power - Vulcan cannon
W-Power - Spread shot
S-Power - Streaming laser

   Additional power-ups may be gathered up during the game such as wingmen which fly adjacent to Reko and add to her main shots and a shadow beetle which follows Kiniro's body with additional firepower.

   Seven years after porting Mushihimesama on the Japanese Playstation 2, Cave is bringing the game over to the Xbox 360 for a May 24, 2012 release. Game modes in the Xbox 360 port (as seen in the first screenshot below) are Novice, X360, and Arrange. Additional game options are Score Attack, Leaderboards, Training, Replay Data, and Options. An image gallery is probably located in the Options section. Reservations are welcome starting today for two versions:

» Mushihimesama HD Regular Edition (JPY7140) or US$96.90 from NCS
» Mushihimesama HD Limited Edition (JPY9240) or US$128.90 from NCS

   The limited edition of the game is bundled with a soundtrack CD and both versions of the first printing will be packed with a DLC code so gamers can download Mushihimesama Cave Matsuri Ver 1.5 which was a full-blown PCB in the arcades. Reservations are welcome to ship on May 24, 2012.

Wii The Last Story Limited Edition - New Import

From the Publisher

 A Story Full of Character
 While the mainland of the Empire faces both conflict and the slow creep of the
 dying land, there is one region that continues to prosper - Lazulis Island.
 The key to the island's defences is a battery of mighty guns,
 which exude some strange magic that seems to draw monsters in.

 The young mercenary Zael, along with a band of fellow adventurers,
 comes to the island in the hope of finding more work. Their new employer is none
 other than the ruler of the island himself, Count Arganan. If they can meet the
 Count's expectations then there is some hope that their unstable mercenary existence could become a thing of the past. For Zael and his companions, who dream of a stable life as knights, this job represents a chance they may never get again.

 Then, during their exploration of a cave as part of their first mission,
 Zael obtains a mysterious new power...

    The Last Story Limited Edition bundle includes a copy of the game, a SteelBook™ storage case, The Premium Soundtrack CD and an art booklet entitled The Last Story: The Illustrations. As well as a stunning body of illustrations, this art booklet features written reflections on the game from director Hironobu Sakaguchi and concept artist Kimihiko Fujisaka. The Premium Soundtrack CD includes additional comments from Hironobu Sakaguchi and composer Nobuo Uematsu about the game's orchestral score, ensuring the Limited Edition version of The Last Story is crammed with exclusive content that fans won't want to miss.

 The Last Story Limited Edition
    Please note PAL games are not compatible with vanilla NTSC Wii consoles with the latest firmware. However, if you have an older Wii with firmware 3.2U and below, you can use the Freeloader to boot The Last Story on a North American Wii console without issues.

    All preorders have shipped yesterday and new orders are welcome to ship today.

PSV Playstation Vita Screen Filters - Restock Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Hori's 'Pita Hari Screen Filter' (PSV-002, left of the photo) which is 'matte' style protects the Playstation Vita screen and the entire face of the handheld from dust, grime, and fingerprints. The advantage of the matte style is the improved tactile feel of the screen filter and the reduction of fingerprints but the tradeoff is the moiré screen effect that the filter causes on the screen which reduces the clarity of the screen a tad. Jan Code: 4961818016057

   Hori's Touch Screen Protector Filter (PSV-003) is shown on the right side of the photo which is a simple screen guard made of silicon which protects the Vita screen from dust, fingerprints, and airborne motes. Jan Code: 4961818016064

   NCS recommend shipping by USPS Media Mail for single orders of either screen filter. Postal options on our shop are linked below the UPS shipping options.
