NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Preorders for the regular edition of DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu v1.5 are welcome starting today but please note that there might be an allocation issue with the limited edition of the game. We'll clarify the details on Monday or Tuesday of next week and open orders then. We've never had a problem when it comes to ordering enough copies of the regular edition of a Cave shooter to qualify for bulk quantities of the limited edition but we prefer to proceed cautiously especially when the yen's at 15 year highs.
The first printing of the regular edition includes a bonus DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu v1.51 DLC card which appears to be the same card that was given away at the Cave Festival back in August. The limited edition of the game will ship with a DoDonPachi Special Arrange CD with compositions by Kenji Itou and Kouta Takahashi. Pricing is US$76.90 for the regular edition and we expect to price the limited edition at US$115.90. Please note that both versions of DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu are expected to be region-coded for Japan only. This means a Japanese Xbox 360 is required to play them.
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» There's been some controversy with regards to Luna Luna's gender amongst the Queen's Blade Rebellion fanbase. We think she's a girl but others have speculated that he's a man. The evidence to back up their speculation? The protective "cup" that protrudes from Luna's genital area. The thing looks like a little horn and it's real curious. Repeat: curious.
To maintain civility and decorum, NCS is just going to assume that Luna is a genetic female who will never have the descriptor of "post-op" or "transgender" assigned to her biography. The MegaHouse production of Luna Luna is a 1/8 scale figure which measures 23cm or 9.06" tall. Why does Luna have an orange-hued spray-tan on? Well, it's not really a spray tan - according to Luna's bio, she lives in the jungle where she protects sacred ruins from interlopers. To dazzle would-be raiders of lost cities, Luna dances and she's aided by four tentacles which protrude from her hair. Tentacles are curious... and there's four of them. Preorders ship in January.
