PS3 Warehouse Removal Item #6 - KOFXII Joystick

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Bought way too many of the KOFXII sticks and there's a bunch of cases sitting in the old warehouse so we gotta try and move some at US$39.90 each with free UPS Ground shipping. Our original writeup follows:

   Japanese manufacturer Exar releases a PS3 USB joystick that's decorated with KOF XII character artwork. If you're a Wii Tatsunoko vs Capcom player, the design of the joystick may look similar because it's the same exact form-factor as Exar's Tatsunoko stick. A 35mm lollipop-style joystick is located on the left whilst six buttons reside on the right. The characters shown on the top of the panel are: Terry Bogard, Athena, Ryo Sakazaki, Ash Crimson, Iori Yagami, and Kyo Kusanagi.

The joystick contacts against clicky micro-switches which sound off with every tug and the buttons have a good springy feel to them.

PS3/X360 King of Fighters XII - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» The Japanese release of King of Fighters XII ships a week later than the North American version so we're expecting dismal sales. The only saving grace may be the Japanese PS3 version's lovely cover art which features Kyo and Iori duking it out while a blonde named Ash Crimson lords over the two of them with a luminous index finger. The USA version's cover art will likely feature Kyo as the centerpiece if Ignition's "Rock the Box" poll is any indication. The Japanese X360 version's cover art looks like a mess but that's just our opinion.
Preorders are welcome for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of KOF XII which ship on July 16, 2009. Early preorders will include a bonus KOF 15th Anniversary Soundtrack.
