©NCSX» The galaxy is a vast expanse and a white-haired lad named Yuri gets to explore it in a space cruiser of his very own. Along his travels, he'll meet up with over 200 different denizens and their respective dramas who are all human. There's no such thing as a creature cantina in Infinite Space. Eventually, Yuri gets himself involved in a galactic war between powerful factions where he'll lead an armada of battleships arrayed against similarly appointed armadas. Yuri's story begins when he witnesses the crash landing of a spaceship which carries a white-haired maiden whose ship sports a painted pair of kiss-lips on the side.
Sega's Infinite Space is an RPG which takes the protagonist Yuri on interactive sequences, space battles, and stints in customization where his battleship is fitted with better weapons and armor. «Screenshots»

Mugen Kouro (Infinite Space) - New Import
Evangelion Girlfriend of Steel 2nd Portable - New Import
©NCSX» The slacker known as Shinji Ikari is sleeping late again when Asuka bellows for him to wake up or they'll be late for school. Rousing from his slumber like the undead, Shinji eventually musters up the energy to join a haughty Asuka Langley in walking to class. On the way there, Ikari crashes into a new girl in town named Rei Ayanami and the two clatter onto the sidewalk. The poor girl's breakfast pastry clatters onto the ground and is presumably no longer edible. To add insult to injury, the girl suffers an unintended revelation as a result of her hiked up skirt and accuses Shinji of catching more than an eyeful. After some protestation by the meek Ikari, Asuka steps in and breaks up the commotion and they proceed to school.
Essentially an alternate retelling of the Evangelion story, Girlfriend of Steel 2 presents the main characters of the immensely popular franchise in a new light. Asuka and Ikari are seemingly going steady and totally copacetic while Rei Ayanami is more normal than her "real" self although her past is still mysterious. Light-hearted and free, the fledgling teenagers get a chance to be youthful and irresponsible without the shadow of NERV mongering over them... at least in the beginning of the adventure. The new Evangelion game is a digital novel that is played in interactive flick-screen motion where simple choices decide the pathway of story progression. By choosing from a mini menu of choices, the plot unfolds, thickens, and eventually concludes. The PSP version of the game features updated graphics, video output for the PSP-2000/3000, and an auto-save feature.

Onore no Shinzuru Michi wo Tatashike - New Import
©NCSX» Travel back to old Edo-era Japan and take on the role of a ninja warrior who runs through isometric stages and contends with demons, the elements, puzzles, and more in an action-packed quest to rescue a princess. At the outset of the game, the ninja and the princess are shown together on a rooftop but a winged demon swoops in and snatches her away into the darkness of the night. Since the hero is a versatile and mighty ninja, he has a gang of faintly-outlined shadow ninjas (from the past, no less) who trail him and may be used to step on switches to trigger stairways, attack roving enemies, destroy objects, fire cannons, and perform other menial tasks. The PSP analog nub or d-pad can be used to control the ninja but the nub is preferable since the movement of the ninja is smoother with the nub. The face buttons control the ninja's attacks, switch triggering, mode toggling, and special moves.
Game modes include "Story Mode," "Mission Mode," and "Wireless." The Option menu allows players to check out 19 BGM selections and adjust SE and BGM volumes. A configure menu allows gamers to do button mapping duties and a "Tutorial Mode" teaches gamers the ways of the play mechanics. We recommend checking the tutorial out since some elements of the game aren't readily apparent based on our testing this morning. For example, it's possible to summon little statues onto the playfield which drop onto switches in order to trigger them. The ninja can also perform a special billowing flame attack which destroys everything in its path. Each stage enforces a 1-minute time limit but multiple attempts are possible with each subsequent try aided by more and more shadow ninja cohorts.
Metroid Prime 2 Dark Echoes - Wii de Asobu - New Import
©NCSX» When the Galactic Federation loses contact with a vessel carrying Trooper Squad Bravo, Samus Aran is called in to locate the ship. Samus tracks the Marines to a planet in the Dasha region known as Aether where she finds them. All dead. Samus learns that they were killed by malevolent creatures known as the Ing who share the planet with a species called the Luminoth. The two are at odds over the control of the energy on the planet and Samus finds herself on the side of the Luminoth in a bid to destroy the Ing. While on her adventure, Samus also encounters a being dubbed "Dark Samus" and contends with the Space Pirates.
The Wii de Asobu version of Metroid Prime 2 features Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls which allow gamers to move Samus like it was second nature. The analog stick on the Nunchuk manipulates Samus whilst the "A" and "B" buttons on the Remote control firing and jumping respectively. Since scanning is a big part of the game, pushing the "-" button on the Remote brings up the scanner and pressing "Z" activates it. The Wii conversion of Metroid Prime 2 is a near carbon copy of the Gamecube original from the introductory sequence to the in-game action but there's a bit more polish on the visuals and the controls have been Wii-matized.
Chibi-Robo - Wii de Asobu - New Import, In Stock
©NCSX» The Sanderson family keeps an unkempt house. There's mom, dad, daughter Jenny, and a rambunctious dog. To help the Sandersons with the upkeep of their home, a special helper is gifted to the clan. Measuring a mere 10cm tall, Chibi Robo represents the future of household robotics. It cooks, it cleans, and it even feeds the pet fish during the course of an average day. To help perform its chores, the mighty mite uses a brush to clean dirty surfaces and the top of its head flips open to serve as a trash can where large items seemingly pass into infinite space. Chibi also wields a shovel for gardening and a laser blaster to fend off gangs of spiders which seem to have a malicious taste for Chibi Robos.
The rigors of menial labor expends a lot of energy and Chibi has to constantly recharge its batteries by way of an electrical cord which plugs into an outlet. The cord trails Chibi and dangles loose and limp, which indicates that the furry-faced scientist who designed the robot had little regard for high-tech aesthetics. Average vacuum cleaners have retractable power cords which spool neatly into their interiors and yet a robotic wunderkind like Chibi-Robo suffers the indignity of a hanging cord...
Bottom line: Live the life of a robotic housemaid and discover drama and high tension hijinx in mundane spaces.
