NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Lina and her friend Luon are wandering around the woods one day when a fire erupts.

Despite her innocence, Lina decides to help the fairies rebuild the woodlands by using her alchemy skills.
Instead of working in a comfortable studio like previous heroines in the Atelier games, Lina becomes a traveling alchemist who goes around in a horse drawn cart and peddles her newly synthesized products to reap riches and rewards. Joining her are a number of friends and supporters such as Gerard Doche, Farrah Wesheit, Marcherra Waschen, and Herrenlose Spada.

PSP Darius Burst - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Taito gave birth to Darius back in 1986 with a coin-op shoot 'em up that used three television screens to seamlessly portray the expansive scrolling action. It was a really wide screen. Twenty three years later, Taito's owned by Square Enix and they're giving the Darius franchise another go with Darius Burst on the widescreen aspect of the PSP.

Darius Burst is a brand new shooter which stays true to the conventions of the series with pick-up power-ups, large end-level bosses, and the familiar stage selection tree. A new ultimate attack dubbed "Burst" is also featured in the game which can be used to confront mega-mighty blasts from bosses. Similar to the previous games in the Darius series, the end-level bosses are inspired by marine life except they have angry eyes, sharp teeth, and shoot up a storm of buckshot.

PSP Simple 2500 Vol. 13: The Akuma Hunters - Exorsister

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Who you gonna call when spooks, demons, and goblins are afoot? Ghostbusters? Fuggedaboutit, those codgers are frail and infirm thanks to decades of lugging those ungodly Proton Packs on their backs. Nowadays, when paranormal activity flares up, you call The Devil Hunters who're also known as Exorsister. Repeat: Exorsister - four buxom warriors (Angela Theron, Gloria Rich, Mina Berry, and Silva Conscious) who have sword-handling skills, coltish legs, and skimpy outfits that would put the blush on almost anyone.

Tamsoft and D3 Publisher team up once again for a heroine-themed 3D hack 'n slasher. Oneechan Bara fans will recognize Tamsoft as the developer who brought Aya and Saki to life. To pay homage to Oneechan, one of the outfits that may be unlocked in Exorcister is Aya's outlandish yet starkly recognizable outfit which can be accessorized with a billowing feather boa. In Exorsister, players choose a girl from the four available choices and go to war against monsters, demons, and the like in 3D worlds. A customization mode allows players to dress the girls up in various outfits of the sexy kind and arm them with all manner of weapons including an axe, a hammer, a bazooka, swords, and more. The hammer looks a bit outlandish when swung upon a demon but it undoubtedly packs a wallop.

A trial version of Exorsister may be downloaded from D3 Publisher's website. Please note that firmware v6.10 is required to boot the software.
