PSP Knights in the Nightmare - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In Sting's Knights in the Nightmare S-RPG, players take control of a discarnate spirit known as a "Wisp" who guides a battalion of knights by taking over their bodies and bending them to its will. By commanding the knights thusly, skirmishes are fought against opposing forces on isometric grid-based battlefields.

Similar in style to other S-RPGs, the game is broken up into missions where objectives are presented along with a snippet of storyline. As missions are conquered, the Wisp and party level up in experience and are given the opportunity to improve weapons and items by utilizing material collected from the battlefield. Party members may also transfer vitality to compatriots in a process dubbed "Tran-Soul." The wisp looks like a white tadpole which inhabits a knight under its control. To animate a knight, move the wisp onto his outline and continue until the square he's standing on lights up. Although the text in the game is primarily in Japanese, the speech is entirely English. Knights in the Nightmare has a learning curve and NCS recommends checking out the "Tutorial" to learns the ways of the Wisp before embarking on a proper adventure.

TOYS Star Wars R2-D2 USB Desktop Cleaner - Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» If your desk is grimy, sticky, and coated with a thin veneer of crust, Taito's Star Wars R2-D2 USB Desktop Cleaner won't do anything for you. R2-D2 isn't powerful enough to clean your desktop sty. However, if dust and bits of paper are all that haunt your tabletop, R2-D2 is a champ who plugs into any USB port and suctions small amounts of debris, detritus, and dirt. Some questions and answers are in order:

I can wipe my desk with a napkin to clean it up, why do I need R2?
Because R2-D2 suction is cooler than napkin motion.

Is a C-3PO desktop cleaner also on the way from Taito?
No, C-3PO isn't cool like that.

The R2-D2 cleaner measures 10cm or 3.93" in height and is constructed of durable PVC. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2010.
