Bamboo Blade Limited Edition - Recent Import, In Stock

©NCSX» In the Bamboo Blade manga/anime serial, Tamaki Kawazoe is a high school freshman with a penchant for Kendo. When she's recruited into a team challenge by a Kendo instructor named Toraji Ishida, Tamaki becomes the leader and core of the Kendo practicing students.
Join Tamaki and company as they engage in a brand new story developed exclusively for the PSP game. At the outset, the kendo team practices their sword swinging skills to hone their abilities and occasionally spars with opponents to put their practicing to the test. With every practice stint, the girls' skills improve as gauged by green bars that denote their attributes. The limited edition of Bamboo Blade includes five puffy sticker cellphone straps which feature the likenesses of the main Bamboo Blade characters in devil costume incarnations.

Ikkitousen Kanu Unchou Solid Mouse Pad - In Stock

©NCSX» From what we've seen of Kanu Unchou, NCS can only surmise that she's a very healthy girl. It's unfortunate however that her healthy image has been exploited by assorted purveyors who have used her robustness in questionable ways. With that in mind, it is with a sense of reticence that NCS imports the Kanu Unchou Solid Mouse Pad for general sale. The word "Solid" in the product title refers to Kanu's ample bosom which serves as a resting pad for one's wrist when manipulating a mouse.

Similar to the Yoko Ritona Solid Mouse Pad, the Kanu pad is wrapped in a stretchy and satiny material which allows for smooth mouse gliding movement. Kanu's "bosom" is filled with a solid gel material which provides a sturdy hand rest and potentially prevents carpal tunnel syndrome.

The seductiveness of evil is reflected in each carefully wrought line, putting a human face on this symbol of vileness that no Final Fantasy fan will want to miss!

Mugen Kouro (Infinite Space) - New Import

©NCSX» The galaxy is a vast expanse and a white-haired lad named Yuri gets to explore it in a space cruiser of his very own. Along his travels, he'll meet up with over 200 different denizens and their respective dramas who are all human. There's no such thing as a creature cantina in Infinite Space. Eventually, Yuri gets himself involved in a galactic war between powerful factions where he'll lead an armada of battleships arrayed against similarly appointed armadas. Yuri's story begins when he witnesses the crash landing of a spaceship which carries a white-haired maiden whose ship sports a painted pair of kiss-lips on the side.
Sega's Infinite Space is an RPG which takes the protagonist Yuri on interactive sequences, space battles, and stints in customization where his battleship is fitted with better weapons and armor. «Screenshots»

Evangelion Girlfriend of Steel 2nd Portable - New Import

©NCSX» The slacker known as Shinji Ikari is sleeping late again when Asuka bellows for him to wake up or they'll be late for school. Rousing from his slumber like the undead, Shinji eventually musters up the energy to join a haughty Asuka Langley in walking to class. On the way there, Ikari crashes into a new girl in town named Rei Ayanami and the two clatter onto the sidewalk. The poor girl's breakfast pastry clatters onto the ground and is presumably no longer edible. To add insult to injury, the girl suffers an unintended revelation as a result of her hiked up skirt and accuses Shinji of catching more than an eyeful. After some protestation by the meek Ikari, Asuka steps in and breaks up the commotion and they proceed to school.

Essentially an alternate retelling of the Evangelion story, Girlfriend of Steel 2 presents the main characters of the immensely popular franchise in a new light. Asuka and Ikari are seemingly going steady and totally copacetic while Rei Ayanami is more normal than her "real" self although her past is still mysterious. Light-hearted and free, the fledgling teenagers get a chance to be youthful and irresponsible without the shadow of NERV mongering over them... at least in the beginning of the adventure. The new Evangelion game is a digital novel that is played in interactive flick-screen motion where simple choices decide the pathway of story progression. By choosing from a mini menu of choices, the plot unfolds, thickens, and eventually concludes. The PSP version of the game features updated graphics, video output for the PSP-2000/3000, and an auto-save feature.
