NCS Product Synopsis
Update: April 26, 1996
 NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» On August 2, 1996, Square broke away from the orbit of their RPG development model and targeted the 3-D fighting arena. The fruit of their labor was dubbed Tobal No. 1, a 3-D polygon-based fighting game which ran at a fluid 60 fps. Akira Toriyama of DBZ fame designed the characters with his distinctive style and flair and eight combatants fought for supremacy against an otherworldly backdrop...

Twenty years later, NCS digs the game up again from the bowels of warehousing. All stock is in new, mint condition and the game is the first print Japanese edition which includes a second CD which previews Final Fantasy VII. Although not a big deal today, the inclusion of the FFVII demo was a major selling point back in the day.

Square Enix Music Compilation Vol. 1 - New, In Stock

NCS started reservations a few months ago for a Square Enix exclusive (http://member.square-enix.com) soundtrack which collects 24 tracks of music from various Squaresoft games including FFVII, Front Mission 4, and Saga Frontier. After waiting patiently, the soundtrack is now in stock and shipping to all preorders. Similar to the Mario Galaxy OST Platinum Edition which was exclusive to Club Nintendo, the Square Enix Music Vol. 1 soundtrack is only available on Square Enix's website for members. The track list starts with J-E-N-O-V-A from the FINAL FANTASY VII Original Soundtrack and follows up with The Man with the Machine Gun which was originally from the FINAL FANTASY VIII Original Soundtrack. Many more selections from popular soundtracks stream afterwards...

Driving Emotion Type-S - Clearance

When NCS imported our initial shipment of 1150 copies of Driving Emotion Type-S back in March of 2000, three factors influenced our buying decision:

1) It was Square's first ever PS2 racing game. It had to be good.
2) The PS2 audience was hungry for any new PS2 software.
3) Square could do not wrong. The entire company walked on water.

We submitted our preorder on time and wired a 15% deposit to guarantee stock. We waited two months for the game to finally ship. Five minutes after we ripped open the cellophane and did the play test, we knew pain had arrived right on NCS' doorstep. All 1150 copies of it.

1) Square's first racing game wasn't good. It wasn't good at all.
2) The PS2 audience was hungry but not that hungry.
3) Square and developer Escape dropped into the drink like a ton of bricks.

Despite the wretched reviews, the game still sold relatively well. We're guessing people had to see for themselves what Square had wrought. Stores which had submitted their own preorders with NCS were kind enough to only cancel 60% of their reservation commitments instead of 98%. Small mercies... March 2008 marks the eighth anniversary of our Driving Emotion buying blunder. We're hoping to keep the game in stock for another 3-5 years so we can continue to wince whenever we pass the PS2 "D" section in our warehouse.

Sale Offering - NCS' remaining inventory of Driving Emotion Type-S is new, in mint condition, and factory sealed. Pricing is set at US$13.90 per copy which includes free shipping by USPS Media Mail within the U.S. Photos.
