Slip-on DSi Crocodile Leather Case - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» We saw a pimp once. Just once. This was way before New York cleaned up Times Square and made it the tourist haven that it is today. Back then, Times Square was seedy, dirty, and surly. If you weren't careful, you were liable to catch a glimpse of a bona fide pimp. Maybe even two of them. It was probably a Friday when the sighting occured but there he was. Natty suit, brown but stylish hat, sunglasses at night, and the shoes. Crocodile shoes. Shoes that glittered like shoes never glittered before.

Crocodile leather is generally an expensive proposition which is why it's normally only found in special circumstances. Imagine our awe when Takara Tomy started preorders for their Slip-on DSi Crocodile Leather case for the measly fee of JPY1047 each. NCS thought back to the pimp sighting and knew that our Nintendo DSi would soon be encased in something glittery and shiny... like an NDSi never glittered or shined before.

Shadow of Memories - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Taking place in a melancholy European city named Lebensbaum, Shadow of Memories' protagonist Eike Kusch gets himself killed but thanks to the wonders of time travel, he continues to walk the earth. A creature who calls itself "Homunculus" has given Eike a device dubbed "Digi-Pad" which grants Eike the gift of time travel. Once back amongst the living, his goal is to seek clues and interaction to stop his own destruction. For example, in one sequence in the first chapter, Eike has to travel 30 minutes back in time to prevent an act of arson at a local tavern.

Eike rides the wave through four time periods, from the present day to the 1500s when alchemy was fair sport for medieval chemists. Along the way, problems must be solved, friends saved, and missions completed thanks to the use of Eike's time jumping capabilities. Successfully navigating all obstacles and a few backward stints in time leads to a happily ever after endgame.

Shadow of Memories was originally released on the PS2 in 2001 and NCS still holds stock. The PSP conversion is a no-frills port of the original game so players who've already completed the adventure on the PS2 might not pick up the portable port. New fans will however find a compelling and engaging experience that posits the theme of travel travel and the ramifications of one's actions. Preorders are welcome to ship on October 1, 2009 at JPY4000 or US$42.90 from NCS.
