NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Shinigami, Bounts, Arrancar, and Hollows are back at it again when Sony releases Bleach Heat the Soul 7 this week in Japan. Yep, Bleach HTS is up to its seventh release and we remember the launch of the first game on the PSP like it was yesterday. Ichigo's Full Hollow incarnation and Espada member Tia Halibel's Release Form and others join the cast of characters.
New to the Heat the Soul series is a 4-player "Battle Royale" mode where up to four players link up via ad hoc and battle each other. The roster of fighters in the game reaches 84 combatants which includes the core cast as well as villains and key characters. The Story Mode features the story arcs from last season's televised episodes and the nefarious Espada are major factor. Baraggan Luisenbarn who's the second Espada member is a badass. Players may hone their fighting skills by investigating the Tutorial and Practice modes to get a feel for the controls and combos. Difficulty modifiers may be toggled in the practice sessions.
Early preorders will include an exclusive Bleach HTS7 Memory Stick DUO storage case that is being given away by Sony in 30% ratio. This ratio means that for every 100 copies of the game, we'll receive 30 bonuses which are being given out to the earliest reservations.

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Medicom follows up the first set of Kubrick Star Wars DX toys with the aptly named Kubrick Star Wars DX Series 2 collection which features an assemblage figures inspired by the events in the Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back motion picture. The six standard characters are as follows:
» Luke Skywalker (Hoth)
» Han Solo (Hoth)
» Princess Leia Organa (Hoth)
» Chewbacca (Mechanic)
» R-3PO Protocol Droid
» Snowtrooper Commander
Extra parts are included inside each figure which allow toy fans to create an Imperial AT-ST (Scout Walker) which is shown in the photo to the lower left. Two desirable chase figures are also dispersed randomly inside every two Master Cartons in rare ratios as follows:
» Rebel Alliance Trooper (Hoth) Found in Luke Skywalker box (1/96)
» AT-ST Driver (Hoth) Found in Snowtrooper Commander box (1/96)
The AT-ST Driver fits perfectly into the AT-ST Scout Walker so he's sort of like really driving it. If you're lucky enough to score an AT-ST Driver, the little guy is worth about $200 at the moment.
Similar to the special bonus that was included in the first set of Star Wars DX toys, every Master Carton of 4 cases will include a pop-up cardboard display that provides a backdrop featuring the Planet Hoth along with a big Imperial AT-AT Walker that's on the march.
Pricing is set at JPY15,360 per factory case of 12 figures which is US$181.85 based on this morning's JPY/USD exchange rate. All preorders are shipping today and new orders are welcome.
Metroid: Other M is a single player shooter for Wii that takes the beloved Metroid franchise into uncharted and exciting new territory. Set between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, the game features unprecedented access to the backstory, thoughts and in-game interactions of the usually closed off heroine of the series, Samus Aran. Developed jointly by Nintendo and the celebrated Japanese development studio, Team Ninja, the game also features exciting play options, including the ability to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives, pointer and sideways Wii Remote controller orientation, stunning in-game cinematics and a classic blend of Metroid action and puzzle-solving gameplay.
For decades, Samus Aran has been known as one of the first female protagonists in video games, and one of the most enigmatic. Having traded her haunted past for the solitary life of a bounty hunter, Samus finally tells her own tale in this revealing, personal story of her failings, her flaws and ultimately her motivation. Metroid: Other M is an unprecedented collaboration that blends the slick, action-packed production of the world-renowned Team Ninja development team with the game design talents of the creators of the original Metroid.
