Space Invaders Chessboard

NCS Synopsis  

   Tommy Hills of NMI Laser envisions a chessboard of the retro-gaming variety where the pawns are cone-headed Space Invaders and the court is made up of shields and invaders. The King is a gun turret (sensible) whilst the Queen is the UFO that passes overhead during the heat of battle. The Space Invaders chessmen are made of laser-cut fluorescent red and yellow acrylic carved into shape with an Epilog laser. Get yours at NMI Laser's Kickstarter project for US$65.00.

 

 

PS3 White Console w/ 160GB - Sale US$339 free shipping

NCS Product Synopsis  

   Almost new and factory boxed Japanese Playstation 3 white console with 160GB hard drive. According to the piece of notebook paper inside the box with this unit, this console was shipped to a customer a couple of years ago but he noted that it sounded 'loud' so he returned it for another one. We checked it shortly after receiving it back but it sounded like our standard black slim PS3 that we use for testing.

   Since we couldn't sell it as 'new condition' anymore, we plugged it inside a box and stored it away. Then we found it again this week while doing our spring cleaning and decided to put it up for sale. The unit looks brand new and includes all of the original accessories and manuals. Price US$339 which includes free UPS Ground shipping in the USA.  

 

 

X360 DoDonPachi: SaiDaiouJou Kan - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis  

   Reservations are welcome for Cave's swan song on the Xbox 360, 'DoDonPachi: SaiDaiouJou Kan,' which marks the publisher's final game for Microsoft's 64-bit console. New to the home release of DDPS is a 16:9 vertical arrange mode, a spanking new animated introduction sequence, and a 3-player cooperative mode.

   Please note NCS is accepting reservations for the Japanese localization of DoDonPachi: SaiDaiouJou Kan but a European release of the game is also expected, based on the scuttlebutt from the past few months. Please be aware however that if both versions of the game are released simultaneously, it is unlikely that the European PAL or the Japanese NTSC edition would be region-free. Additional news will be posted once available.

   The Japanese release date is currently slated for May 30, 2013 at JPY7,140 or US$83.90 from NCS and preorders are welcome for the regular edition. Please wait for further details on a limited edition of the game.
