DC Last Hope: Pink Bullets - New Import, In Stock

From the Publisher
Given the high demand of Last Hope for Dreamcast, there's going to be a self-published reprint very soon. This reprint however is not just a plain reprint, its rather going to be an improved version of the game.

With this edition the games on screen visibility is much higher then before on Dreamcast, comparable to Last Hopes in game visibility for NEO·GEO CD. That's mainly thanks to pink bullets that make it easier to differ between explosions and shrapnels while shooting up enemies. Also the color scheme of the stages are now altered to improve both visibility and giving the game a different look. Additionally, Last Hope Pink Bullets features instant restart spawn during one credit. However using a credit takes you to the latest checkpoint of the stage. You have a total of 6 credits. The player is now equipped with both permanent speedup and protection pod. We are sure, this makes the game a less hard and more accessible gaming experience.

The game comes with DVD casing and enhanced 12 page manual. We are also considering a stand alone soundtrack of this game.

PSP Ikkitousen Eloquent Fist - Best Collection - New, In Stock

NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» The girls of Ikkitousen are back in a 2D punch 'n kick action game that's somewhat reminiscent of the coin-operated Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon from Banpresto (1995). Rather than releasing a barebones side scrolling brawler, Marvelous goes beyond the call of duty by including a sizable amount of animated content in the game which chronicles the stories of the Ikkitousen fighters. Eloquent Fist also features a fair amount of fan service in the form of wobbling boobs that shudder, fragile clothing that shatters, and more Kanu Unchou than you can shake a stick at. Full screen images of the women warriors in vulnerable poses and wearing tattered clothing bolsters the fan service in the game.

As mentioned earlier, Eloquent Fist is a side scrolling action game where players select a warrior from 17 available fighters such as Kanu Unchou or Ryomou Shimei. At the outset, four characters are hidden behind silhouettes but 13 are ready for the selection process. Players move their heroine/hero from left to right to confront assorted enemies. Punches and kicks are used to attack but special moves are also available to defeat multiple enemies at once. If you walk into an enemy, a "grab" move is automatically triggered so that the foe is clutched. The objects in the environment such as telephone booths are destructible and reveal bonuses such as steamed buns which recover health points. As the game progresses, fighters can win new outfits such as bikinis in various colors and charge into battle wearing just a 2-piece.
