Oshare Majo Love and Berry

For the uninitiated, Love and Berry are the names of two gal witches who love to dress up and dance. Originally released in Japanese arcades encased in a custom card dispensing cabinet, Oshare Majo Love and Berry plays a mean game of rhythm dancing.

In the arcade cabinet, the controls consisted of two big palm-sized buttons which were slapped. Since the NDS can't accommodate two big buttons, it can recreate the feel of the game with one virtual button which is tapped on the touch screen. The arcade version of the game also dispensed a Fashion Card once a credit was inserted. The Fashion Card contains a certain hairstyle, makeup, footwear, or dress up cards to customize the appearance of the girls.

Stages include Street Court, Fashion Stage, Seaside Stage, and others. Before each stage, players may choose either Love or Berry as the onscreen dancer. Once selected, either girl appears in her bedroom in pajamas but you may slide a Fashion card to change her clothing into ball gowns, teenybopper duds, etc. Once the clothes are chosen, start the game and watch the tambourine on the top screen and tap the virtual bongo on to touch screen in time to its beat. At first, the tambourine is tricky to follow but memorizing the songs and their beats make things a lot easier to the point where you're matching it like a well-oiled meter.

Wrapping Cover for WiiMote

The Wii-Mote is a nifty controller which allows gamers to swing, slash, and act the fool hero in the gaming room. While the Wii-Mote is comfortable to grip and hold for extended amounts of time, it can get slippery from sweaty palms. To address that very need, Japanese manufacturer UGame presents a trio of Silicon Covers for the controller which cling like a second skin. The bottom of the cover is ribbed for added grip and the silicon body provides just the right amount of sponginess and friction for firm, fling-free gesticulations. Flying Wii-Motes may be a thing of the past once the Silicon Cover is applied... Pricing is set at US$8.90 per cover + $3.50 Priority Mail shipping if ordered alone.

Wrapping Cover for WiiMote and Nunchuk

To sheath both the Wii remote control and accompanying nunchuk in grippy skins, UGame went with silicone instead of plastic. Pliable and rubbery, the silicon covers slip over the controllers and fit as snug as a glove. Pricing is set at US$12.90 per set in aqua, black, or pink. If ordered alone, NCS will ship with USPS Priority Mail at a rate of US$3.50 in the USA.

Galaxy Angel Commemorative Box

» Galaxy Angel [Broccoli Best Quality Version]
» Galaxy Angel: Moonlit Lovers [Broccoli Best Quality Version]
» Galaxy Angel: Eternal Lovers [Original Release Version]

Pink Playstation Portable

Originally released in glossy black and followed by a ceramic white model, the PSP has now been rendered in a candy pink shell. The color is strangely reminiscent of Pepto-Bismol but we'll take it. The Pink PSP pack includes a multi-voltage power adapter, battery, and user manual.

Pink Japanese Playstation 2

The third color variant for the slim PS2 console is pink after black and ceramic white models. Sony downsizes the PS2 console from big bulky rectangular shape to sleek, slim-line silhouette. The measurements of the new PS2 console are 230×28×152mm (9x1x6") and the unit weighs in at 900g or a mere 2 lbs. The PS2 network adapter is built-in but the internal drive bay is gone which makes hard drive installation unavailable unless Sony starts producing external hard drives once again.
Please note that the Japanese PS2 is only capable of playing Japanese, Asian, and Korean territory PS2 software and Japanese region-2 DVDs.
