DC DUX and Last Hope Re-issue - Import Preorder Update

«©NCSX» After a couple of delays, the developer of Dreamcast DUX has completed the game and its long-awaited release is imminent. We can finally knock all those preorders out and get them fulfilled within the next 1-2 weeks. All preorders will ship once we receive the shipment.

In related news, a new version of Last Hope is being released on the Dreamcast in July. The notification from the developer follows below:

Last Hope: Pink Bullets
Given the high demand of Last Hope for Dreamcast, there's going to be a
self-published reprint very soon. This reprint however is not just a
plain reprint, its rather going to be an improved version of the game.

With this edition the games on screen visibility is much higher then
before on Dreamcast, comparable to Last Hopes in game visibility for
NEO·GEO CD. That's mainly thanks to pink bullets that make it easier to
differ between explosions and shrapnels while shooting up enemies. Also
the color scheme of the stages are now altered to improve both
visibility and giving the game a different look. Additionally, Last Hope
Pink Bullets features instant restart spawn during one credit. However
using a credit takes you to the latest checkpoint of the stage. You have
a total of 6 credits. The player is now equipped with both permanent
speedup and protection pod. We are sure, this makes the game a less hard and more accessible gaming experience.

The game comes with DVD casing and enhanced 12 page manual. We are also considering a stand alone soundtrack of this game. Release of this game edition is July 2009.

NCS is accepting preorders to ship in late July 2009 at US$45.90.
