PSV Fate / Stay Night [Realta Nua] - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Originally released in early 2004 for the Japanese PC, Fate Stay Night is an interactive adult visual novel which tells its tale by way of graphics, dialogue, and text. The player watches the story unfold and interacts occasionally by selecting choices which affect the outcome and eventual conclusion. The Playstation Vita conversion of the game is based on the 2007 PS2 rendition of Realta Nua which sold 20 million copies and is a family-safe update which removes the nudity from the original but adds voice acting to accompany the dialogue in the adventure. The Vita upgrade bolsters the original with touch screen interaction, HD visuals, and a new opening cinema.

 

   As the story goes, Shirou Emiya is a wannabe sorcerer who has no knack for the ways of magic. Orphaned at a young age and adopted by a sorcerer named Kiritsugu Emiya, Shirou is nonetheless hopeless as mage. One day after cleaning his school's dojo, he witnesses a battle between two warriors named Archer and Lancer in the courtyard. Unbeknownst to Shirou at the time, his home city of Fuyuki plays host to a hidden war where sorcerers and their servants bout it out for ownership of the Holy Grail. Whomever holds the Grail is granted the power of wishes. The war takes place every six decades and has raged periodically for the past two centuries. As the story begins, a new war kicks off and Shirou finds himself embroiled in its carnage with a servant by his side named Saber.

   Preorders are welcome to ship November 29, 2012, at JPY6390 or US$86.90.

PSP Second Novel: Kanojo no Natsu, 15-Bun no Kioku - New

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Love triangles have the potential of ending in tragedy. Some end in assault, others involve NASA diapers, still others might lead to a stabbing or some form of bodily harm. The story in Second Novel: Kanojo no Natsu touches on a teenage love triangle that gets complicated when a boy named Yuichi walks off the roof of his school and plunges to his death. Soon after the tragic incident, a girl named Ayano follows in Yuichi's footsteps and also falls from the roof of the school but she survives her mishap. The third person involved in the triangle is a boy named Naoya who was a close friend of Yuichi and in love with Ayano.

Fast forward five years and Naoya is 23 years old and attending Tokyo University. He decides to visits his hometown when summer vacation rolls around. While at home, he reunites with Ayano and the two attempt to piece together what happened with Yuichi and why Ayano herself jumped from the rooftop. A hindrance in their quest of discovery is Ayano's lack of long term memory. After her fall, Ayano can only remember 15 minutes of her past before it is forgotten and replaced by the next 15 minutes.

Can Naoya help Ayano with her vanishing memories? Will the supporting cast members of Chiaki, Sakura and a language teacher named Yukari be able to help? Why do love triangles always end up in tears? Second Novel is played in visual-novel form which is heavy on the text and static graphics but generally short on actual player interaction.

PS2 Strike Witches: Anata to Dekirukoto A Little Peaceful Days

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Earth was once a sparkling jewel of a planet. The word "once" in the previous sentence is operative because in an alternate reality version of Earth, the planet's been devastated by an destructive armed force called the Neuroi. To fight back and perhaps conquer the Neuroi, human scientists pour their creative animus into a contraption called the "Striker Unit" which is an all-in-one device which grants wearers the power of flight, defensive measures, and enhances one's propensity for magic. In the world of Strike Witches, cat-eared girls serve as the warriors who don the Striker Units and thrust through the heavens to battle the insidious Neuroi.

The PS2 adaptation of Strike Witches can be slotted into the "Interactive Novel" genre where players interact with the cast from the animated series and endure lengthy conversation sequences. Occasionally, the game prompts the player to perform a situational decision by way of a button press which leads to a new round of conversation. The PS2 game focuses on two Witches named Amaki Suwa and Nishiki Nakashima (shown on the left side of the game cover) who are stranded on a deserted island and they interact with the Witch protagonist Yoshi Kudou. The limited edition of Strike Witches includes a Drama CD and is packaged in a shiny slipcase.

Rosario to Vampire Capu 2 LE - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The cast of Rosario to Vampire are perfectly agreeable archetypes to be used in a romance adventure game and that's what they're doing this summer.

The game opens up on a street scene where Moka Akashiya is standing between two buildings next to a brute. The protagonist is a new character who gets entangled in the world of Youkai Academy where the students are all monsters. Thanks to a swipe from the brute, Moka falls and gets her knee scraped in the early sequence of the game before heading to school. Once at school, a procession of characters from the manga/anime serial appear and provide banter and drama. The voice actresses from the animated series were tapped to provide the speech in the game and their performances are emotive as well as expressive. Note however that the protagonist's voice isn't heard and only his green-tinted speech bubble appears to show his commentary on each scenario. Players interact and perhaps go on a date with the various characters such as Moka, Kokoa Shuzen (redheaded half-sibling of Moka), Yukari Sendou (witch), Kurumu Kurono (blue-haired lassie), and Mizore Shirayuki (girl with purple hair).

Chaos;Head Noah - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Times Square in New York City is a happening place with throngs of people, heavy traffic, and bright lights that never dim. Times Square got nothing on Tokyo's Shibuya. The amount of foot traffic in front of the JR Hachiko station exit in Shibuya is the heaviest in the world. The sheer amount of pedestrians traipsing around at any minute is alarming and perhaps a reminder that there's a lot of humanity walking the Earth.

Chaos;Head Noah takes place in Shibuya and follows the story of a high school student named Takumi Nishijo. As the game kicks off, we learn that strange deaths have taken place in Shibuya which have stymied the local authorities. Group teenage suicides and an odd reverse caesarean performed on a young man are the introductory horrors but more are on the way. Takumi's baptism into the death trade begins online where he chats with someone named Shogun who seems to have foreknowledge of the gruesome events. The next day, Takumi runs into a crime scene where he sees two corpses that match the images presented by Shogun in their online chat. Fearful of what he might have stumbled onto, Tak searches for answers and finds allies over the course of the narrative as the murders mount. Takumi also endeavors to stay a few steps ahead of the killer.
