NCS vends games and toys to customers around the world.
The latest issue of Famitsu Wave DVD contains print and video coverage of the following software titles and events:
A young man named Ren Uesagi and his older sister Mihato venture out into the world to avoid familial strife at home in the form of an alcoholic father. On the train ride to the big city, Ren rests his head on Mihato's lap and big sister thinks of how their fortunes are likely to change for the better. Upon their arrival, the two spend their first night in a city park by the ocean. Job prospects are dim and they spend a few nights in the park. When things begin to look somewhat despondent, the Fates intervene and a conspiracy of events leads to the siblings' gainful employment in the Kuonji household.
The 2008 baseball season has just started on both sides of the Pacific and Konami is the first game publisher to mark the occasion. Konami's better known baseball franchise in Japan is the Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball series which has been an annual event since 1995 but Pro Baseball Spirits has been winning fans and garnering marks of approval from the likes of Famitsu (8/8/8/8 in last week's issue) and Dengeki.
The special Premium Edition of Musou Orochi Maou Sairin includes a fairly large collection of character trading cards which feature heroes from the six empires/themes in the game. A special slipcase and holder-sheets are also included for storing the cards in a tidy manner. Due to the size and weight of the Premium Edition, NCS recommends only shipping by UPS Ground within the United States.
Hori dovetails with the new Star Ocean Second Evolution game release by announcing a nifty accessory kit which includes the following items:
When Lei-Fang of Dead or Alive fame hits the beach, she wears a two-piece bikini and kicks it up on an inflated swim tube like a flailing seal trying to avoid the billowing surf. Or something like that.
NCS originally stocked 48 factory cases of the New SMB Touch Pen Gashapon in late 2006. Each case contains 6 bags of pens. We've sold most of our stock in the past year but since the remaining inventory takes up precious warehouse space, we're going to try to sell them by the bag. Each bag contains 50 Super Mario Bros touch pens which we normally sell for $3.95 each or $20 for a complete set of six. If you're a retail customer, you'll basically have NDS touch pens for the rest of your life. If you're a vendor, you'll have something interesting to add to your wares.
