Happy Dance Collection - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» J-Pop popstars are a dime a dozen. It doesn't take much to become a J-Pop star - a presentable appearance, some dancing ability, and a voice that doesn't crack under pressure are ample qualifiers.

Namco's Happy Dance Collection puts players in the role of an up and coming pop star who has to move and dance in time to the beat. An easy comparison would be Idolmaster but that wouldn't really be correct. Whereas Idolmaster puts you in the role of a producer and choreographer of idols, Happy Dance puts you right in the shoes of the idol. Wield the Wii Remote in one hand and perform wave motions, circular gestures, and other arm actions that are reminiscent of J-Pop superstars. Voice actress Mizuki Nana provides the vocals

The game features a 24-song music list including "Choo Choo Train," "POP STAR," I'll be here feat. Aoyama Thelma," and "Go My Way" which hails from Namco's Idolmaster. Fans of KOH+ (Koh Shibasaki) will be pleased to know that KISSして is included in the library. A selection of songs from animation properties such as Anpanman, Doraemon, Precure 5, and Pokemon are also playable.

Culdcept II for Japanese Dreamcast - Clearance

NCS Product Synopsis - Original Update: July 12, 2001
«©NCSX» NCS stocked Monopoly for the GBA a couple of days ago and today, we stock a game clearly inspired by the basic principles of Monopoly. A board game at heart, Culdcept II utilizes action and event cards to add a random wrinkle to the fun.

Gist: As an adventurer on a board, the player throws the dice and moves the allotted spaces on a preset route. Along the way, instead of buying properties with cash as we saw in Monopoly, the player takes over land (squares) by using monster cards to lay claim. Keeping territory comprises an important facet of the game as it's your key to wealth and thus the required amount of assets and magic points necessary to win the game.

Shido Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon - New Import

«©NCSX» An adventurer named Shido and a big 'ol Chocobo are speeding across a sandy expanse in their buggy when they screech to a stop. The two disembark and stand before a tower which reaches into the sky. Once inside, a little taste of dungeon crawling is served up where Chocobo leads and Shido follows.

Gamers who are well schooled in the ways of the Fushigi no Dungeon games from Enix will find the format of the latest Chocobo Dungeon familiar. When spelunking within dank labyrinths, each move is metered by the game engine so that monsters on the same screen will take a matching step for every step that Chocobo takes. Every attack is met with a consequent attack so while the game looks like a free roaming dungeon crawl, it's actually a turn-based adventure like the old school RPGs of yore.

Chocobox - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Chocobo is a merchandising superstar unlike any other. For one, Chocobo is colored bright banana yellow which offers vibrant contrast against his baby blue eyes. Second, Chocobo is a bird. Other than the aptly named Big Bird from a certain children's television show, there aren't many other avian heroes for humans to admire.

NCS peddled Chocobo mugs and Chocobo cushions earlier this year. Then there were the Rubber Chocky toys. Nintendo DS owners will get to wrap their handhelds in a bright yellow Chocobo skin, tap with a Chocobo stylus, and swing around a nifty cell phone strap adorned with Chocobo's bright and breezy countenance.

Vitamin Y - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Chibi-sized characters of elfin stature play assorted mini games in D3 Publisher's Vitamin Y which features the cast from the Vitamin X love simulation game. VY features 26 challenges. One game that takes place in the "Megane Kingdom" is a simple maze exercise and another in the "Lost Nana Sugoro Park" features vine swinging action. Other areas include "Starship Visconti," "Fairy Popeland," and "Toge Island" which are filled with rhythm games, whack-a-mole fun, a card game, and many more. The "Trick or Scream" location features four games with a Halloween-ish theme which is perfect for tomorrow's festivities.

Early preorders will ship with a sheet of 45 character and stage stickers which were given away by the publisher in 50% ratio.

Thunderforce VI - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» It's been 11 years since the last Thunderforce game was released on a home console. That was July of 1997 when Technosoft debuted Thunderforce V: Perfect System on the venerable Sega Saturn. Adjunct: When NCS first got a hold of Thunderforce II on the Sega Megadrive some 20 years ago, we thought the voices were horrible but the gameplay was lovely. We even enjoyed the overhead shooting levels.

Sega takes over production of the latest Thunderforce game which is directed by Tetsu Okano whose previous credits include Gunstar Super Heroes and Astro Boy. TFVI's graphics remind us of the visual purity that was Gradius V. The first level of the game takes place in a ruined space colony that's been overrun by vegetation and guarded by a fire-breathing Gargoyle while the second level takes players planet-side onto a fiery world covered by an ocean of lava. The third stage plunges gamers into a blue world where the attack begins in the sky but the fracas eventually descends into the ocean. Multiple weapons may be used including classics such as the Hunter Shot, Twin Shot, and Wave. One new weapon dubbed "Free Range" is reminiscent of Soukyugurentai where a geometric web serves as a targeting arc where anything within the web is decimated.

Suigetsu Portable First Print LE - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Awakening in darkness, the protagonist strains his eyes and a blurry image appears. Struggling further, a gentle voice breaks the silence the image soon resolves into a brightly lit hospital room. A feisty brunette named Karin Miyashiro immediately shows up and engages the fallen hero in light conversation. More friends such as petite blonde Izumi Shinjyou and Yamato Shoichi eventually appear to check up on the protagonist and ask a number of questions. In the midst of interrogation, the interactive adventure proper begins.

As the story slowly unfolds, the lead learns that he is a victim of amnesia but a cast of close friends are by his side to help him regain his memory and some semblance of normalcy. A recurring nightmare also gives some hints about his past where a beautiful but somber gal appears and may hold the key to unlocking lost memories... Characters that may be encountered include Nanami Makino, a long-haired girl with a somber attitude about life, Yuki Kotonomiya, the white-haired mystery girl in poofy maid's outfit, and the pink haired sisters Maria and Alice Kousaka.

Suigetsu Portable is a fully-voiced interaction game where the text located on the bottom of the screen is accompanied by professional voice acting. Occasional sound effects punctuate the drama onscreen and faint music permeates through the game for some added mood enhancers.

Hula Wii: Minna de Fura Oodorou!! - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» When visiting Hawaii, one must do as the Hawaiians do. That means enjoying a fried Spam sandwich, buying a quart of orange juice at ABC for US$11, and doing the Hula. That's right, the Hula dance where even a gangster can wear a lei, shake his hips, and still stake his claim to being of the male gender. Sort of.

In Hula Wii, potential Hula practitioners get to watch live video of a professional Hula dancer as she sways, sashays, and waves her arms in rhythmic routines. You're supposed to mimic her movements to the best of your ability... or lack thereof while an onscreen Mii keeps track of your performance. A step chart on the bottom of the screen shows where your feet should be positioned during a dance to add to the challenge. The game is played with the Wii Balance Board (not included) and the Wii Remote is held in your hand so that your rhythmic arm motions are registered by the Hula software.

Along with the dancing action, the software also includes tidbits on Hawaii, the culture, and the geography of the islands as provided by the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau.

Odama + Mic for Japanese Gamecube - Clearance

NCS Product Synopsis
Original Update: April 11, 2006
«©NCSX» Military commander Yamanouchi Kagetora has a secret weapon - a rolling sphere of great heft known as the Odama which mows down legions of soldiers. Unfortunately for your own armies, the Odama makes no distinction between friend or foe and rolls over both with equal aplomb. The launching mechanism consists of a pair of pinball flippers located at the bottom of the screen. Slap the Odama with the right amount of English to curve it at enemy armies and to hit targets on the battlefield. Vocal instructions may be bellowed into the microphone to encourage your troops to press the attack and and to warn them away from the Odama's path of destruction.

Sale Offering: NCS' remaining inventory of Odama for the Japanese Gamecube is new, factory boxed, and in excellent condition. Pricing is set at US$28.90 each which includes "free" shipping by USPS Media Mail within the U.S. SKU: DOL-2-GOOJ / JAN Code: 4902370513509

Dissidia: Final Fantasy Trading Arts Vol.1 - Preorder

«©NCSX» Square Enix has set their sights on a bit of merchandising to dovetail with the upcoming release of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. We decided against stocking the Dissidia potions this time around due to the lofty transportation costs incurred when importing what's essentially gallons of sugared water. NCS will however import the Dissidia Trading Arts figures which feature five characters from Final Fantasy I, VII, VIII, IX, and X as follows:

| Warrior of Light | Cloud Strife | Squall Leonhart | Zidane | Tidus |

The figures measure between 9.8 to 15.5 cm (3.85 to 6.10") in height and are carved from blocks of PVC. The detailing for each figure appears quite good based on Square's photos. Preorders are welcome to ship in February 2009 at JPY5280 or US$60.90 per factory box of six figures. Each factory box contains all five figures and 1 duplicate. «Photo Gallery»

Tatsunoko vs Capcom Joystick - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» When the Wii conversion of Tatsunoko vs Capcom is released in the Japanese marketplace on December 11, manufacturer Exar will be right there with a sturdy Tatsunoko vs Capcom themed joystick. Fighting games that are rendered in 2D generally play better with a joystick rather than a combination of the nunchuk and Wii Remote.

The upcoming Exar joystick connects to the Wii Remote so that it's wireless and operates without any console-tied-tethers. Preorders are welcome to ship on December 11, 2008 at JPY5980 or US$85.90 from NCS. Pricing reflects the recent strength of the yen and shipping costs.

Warrior of Argus: Muscle Impact - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» The legendary warrior of Argus returns wielding a weapon known as the Disk Armor which flails outwards with cutting action and prehensile tension. The latest Argus game from Tecmo features Wii Remote whipping action where the controller is jerked back and forth to simulate the throwing of the Disk Armor at crowds of enemy attackers.

The versatility of the Disk Armor allows it to be used in various attack motions, as a grappling hook of sorts, and as a trigger to activate traps and/or ward off assorted dangers in the environment.

Preorders are welcome to ship on December 11, 2008 at JPY6800 or US$66.90 from NCS.

Yuki Musume Daisenpuu - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» A snow maiden (aka Yuki Musume) teams up with a bunny-like familiar and her sister to beat back an onslaught of spirits, snowmen, mummies, and their overlords. Why is a mummy shuffling across the snow with both arms raised? No one knows but there are sights even stranger than the wrapped undead in Yukinko Daisenpuu including huge grubs that fall from trees and purplish imps that pop out of nowhere.

The snow maiden uses the power of winter to meet her goals where oversized snowflakes and pointy icicles are shot at enemies to dispatch them. Power-ups may be picked up to enhance firepower or gain speed. The nunchuk is used for maneuvering and the Wii Remote serves as the launching mechanism for snow projectiles. The enemy generally attacks in waves where they'll approach Yuki like a mob. During certain points in the game, the action stops and a warning indicator appears on the screen. That's your cue to take cover or start firing shots because a powerful wave of enemy attackers are on the way where they sweep through the screen with destructive force. In addition to a single player game, up to two players may collaborate for a concerted attack. Preorders for the Wii conversion of Yuki Musume Daisenpuu ship on December 18, 2008.

Ikkitousen GG Bed Sheet - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Sheets that are placed on top of mattresses are generally boring. They might have a floral pattern, a single shade of color, or a repetitive motif that's printed throughout the entire sheet.

Japanese manufacturer Taki has other ideas for sheets. They want bold designs. So bold that one of the sheets features Kanu Unchou on top of a bare-breasted Ryofu Housen. There's a third sheet which isn't shown here because it's not safe for work - that one features the full backside of Ryomei Shimei as she's taking off her underoos while Sonsaku stares wide-eyed in the background. The sheets measure 210cm x 140cm (82.67 x 55.11") in area and pricing is set at an astounding JPY10,000 or US$110 from NCS. Preorders are welcome to ship in late Nov 2008.

Valis Gashapon Vol. 1 + Secret Figure - In Stock

«©NCSX» NCS received the first Valis Gashapon set in September and we supplied them in complete sets of 4 figures (seen in the background of the photo to the left). Millennium also produced a fifth secret figure which was scattered randomly in each factory box of toys. We've received a second batch of Valis Vol. 1 gashapon today and we're offering the set with the secret figure in today's listing.

NCS is supplying the five figures as shown at US$45.90:

Gundam Battle Chronicle - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Slide into the frame of a Gundam mech once more and thrust into battlefields where enemy Zaku units are dismantled with beam weapons and buckshot. The latest and greatest 3D Gundam action game on the PSP features superb control. Repeat: superb control where the d-pad is used to jet a mech in all four cardinal directions with pinpoint accuracy. Attacks are also be triggered quickly once a corresponding face button is pushed for lightning fast sword slashes and follow-up gunfire if so desired. To test the fluidity of the game engine, we had our Gundam jetting, firing all three types of artillery, and orbiting a target without a single hiccup or slowdown from the game. It's all very impressive and demonstrative of how far Bandai has come along with the Gundam games since the original gray Playstation days when Gundam v1.0 was a humbling lesson in futility.

Gundam Battle Chronicle features two game modes: the Campaign Mode which links together 120 missions of varying difficulty and the VS Operation Mode which pits the player against three rampaging opponents. The default VS mode pits you against three COM-controlled mechs but up to three human players may link up wirelessly for some local area fireworks. The mech roster is impressive with over 140 robots to pilot, destroy, or use as support. The third mode of interest on the main menu is the Gallery which features five sections where players can view the mech suits, pilots featured in the game, and other fan-centric material.

Juicy Honey Premium Edition 2008 - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» At the tail end of 2007, Mint released Juicy Honey Premium Edition 2007 which featured Maria Ozawa, Tina Yuzuki, and Kotono Higashi. The limited edition set sold well to collectors and enthusiasts alike to close out the year.

Nintendo DSi Updates

Nintendo DSi
Suppliers in Japan have posted their prices for the first batch of NDSi which is scheduled to arrive on Friday or Monday of next week. The average listing price is JPY26,500 which means our cost is US$277.64 per unit as of this morning's exchange rate of US$1 to ¥95.43. If we import them for customers, our retail price will be US$292.50.

We're leery of paying such high prices since better deals will be forthcoming in the next 2-3 weeks as additional supplies make it to market. We'll contact customers today with news on the pricing. Please note the following caveats:

1) It is unlikely that we'll receive enough NDSi units this week to fill all orders. As such, it may take up to 3 weeks to fill your order.
2) If the price drops in the marketplace before we fill your order, we will adjust the pricing for you automatically.
3) NCS expects mostly white NDSi units this week due to potential short supplies of the black NDSi from our vendors.

Due to the current level of pricing, NCS recommends that customers wait 2-3 weeks for prices to drop to more reasonable levels. There's a good likelihood that prices will drop $50-$60 when the second batch makes it to market in mid-late November. One factor that might prevent this expected price drop would be the continued erosion of the US dollar against the Japanese yen.

Hanako Holstein Non-Scale Figure - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» In 2007, artist Jun Tsukasa sculpted a "cat" girl named Hanako who dressed herself in a skimpy outfit which invoked a Holstein dairy cow. Fast forward a year later and Daiki Kougyo has announced their own rendition of Hanako Holstein which is similar to Megahouse's original rendition. The main differences are Hanako's leg positioning and her angelic demeanor as she stares directly into the eyes of a butterfly that has alighted on her finger. The original Hanako sculpture featured a Hanako who's expression can be described as somewhat maniacal. The figure measures 21cm or 8.26" tall and preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late Jan 2008.
