Wii Fullmetal Alchemist Akatsuki no Ouji New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The brothers Elric are back in a new adventure which features an original storyline that was written under the supervision of series creator Arakawa Hiromu. As the story goes, the military nation of Amestris has antagonized its neighbors for years and has even decimated the population of Ishbal which lies to the east. One day, a Prince named Claudio Rico Aerugo from the nation of Aerugo rolls into town with a procession of cars as confetti and cheers permeate the air. Prince Claudio brings the people of Amestris a gesture of friendship and offers peace between the two countries. Everything seems hunky-dory but behind the scenes, political machinations and treachery are in motion... Edward is the first to suspect something is amiss while Roy Mustang seems resolute in believing that Aerugo's intentions are entirely straightforward and forthright.

Players take control of Edward Elric and roam around the land of Amestris with his brother Alphonse, Roy Mustang, Winry Rockbell, and other supporting characters. Interaction sequences help to relay the story and occasional mini-games and micro actions that require the use of the Remote break up the narrative with a bit of hand waving motion.

PSP Strikers 1945 Plus Portable - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» World War II saw its conclusion in the Spring of 1945 but as the world prepares for peace, strange things are afoot. A renegade band of military commanders from across the planet have joined together to form a new regime known as CANY that seeks global domination. With a massive arsenal of weaponry at their disposal, CANY's plans are set in motion and the world trembles against their onslaught.

Normally, the nations of Earth would mobilize their military machines and strike at a threat such as CANY with steely eyed precision but there won't be any of that. To answer the call of CANY, the world sends a single plane. Just one. That's you. A one man army capable of leveling the entire military infrastructure of a military superpower with some buckshot, a few bombs, and a thimble full of bravado.

Strikers 1945 Plus was originally released in December 1999 for the Neo Geo MVS (blue cart) where it captivated fans of vertically scrolling shoot 'em ups. The game was released on the USA Playstation Network for download a little over a week ago and a few days later, it was released for the Japanese marketplace on a UMD. The PSP conversion allows players to select either digital or analog control, map the face buttons, and grants unlimited continues. The game's difficulty level is fairly high since the enemy shots are thick and unforgiving. One wrong twitch and you're out. A total of six planes may be chosen at the outset but there's a seventh unlockable plane called the "XP-55 Ascender" which is modeled after a USAF prototype.

TOYS Chocobo Magic Book Plush - Reproduction, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Whenever Chocobo's out in the wild, the feathered beast generally runs, pecks, and squawks up a storm. Add one more activity to Chocobo's to-do list: reading.

In the NDS Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon game, a magic book was the source of Chocobo's woes as well as its eventual salvation. With Square Enix's new Chocobo plush, the big bird apparently enjoys reading from a magic book of spells. Measuring 18cm or 7.08" tall, Chocobo kicks out its legs and uses them as a book holder to prop up the thick tome. By using its wingtips, Chocobo seems to be flipping through the pages of the volume to find the spell that it needs to cast. If you push aside Choc's left talon, you'll see that the cover of the book shows Sabotender running away from a horned creature of some sort.

In the game, she works to prevent the coming of Armageddon by disabling the Cauldron.

Yamato Toys has started preorders for a 1/8 scale rendition of Velvet which measures 25cm or 9.84" tall. Velvet wears her crimson outfit which may be compared to a gypsy's costume. A jester's cap is mounted atop her head while a tiny top covers her shoulders and bosom. A sash of black material rings her waist and a red slip of material serves as a dress to cover Velvet's backside. Note the dress only encircles her rear and black hosiery finishes up Velvet's choice of garb. She's on her tiptoes which may indicate readiness while her hands hold a Psypher Chain.
