SALE Magna Carta 2 (Japan-X360) US$59.98/ea

 From the Publisher

 Release Date: August 6, 2009
    Developed by SoftMax, the team behind the original Magna Carta: Tears of Blood, and powered by the Unreal Engine 3, Magnacarta 2 combines a deep storyline, beautifully detailed graphics and a unique active turn battle system to create a fresh new RPG experience.
 
    Magnacarta 2 introduces an original storyline driven by intense themes of love, hate, politics, betrayal and the ultimate question of choosing one’s own fate. Players are immersed in the world of the Lanzheim Continent, a conflict-ridden land deeply divided by a fierce civil war. Powered by the Unreal Engine3 and featuring character designs by famed Korean artist Hyung-Tae Kim, the game bears a striking visual style unlike any other RPG through its blend of photo-realism and Japanese manga influences. The deeply emotional story is driven by beautifully rendered CGI cut-scenes featuring fully voiced dialogue to draw players into the immersive experience.
 
 Magna Carta 2 Game Play
    Delivering more than 40 hours of gameplay, Magnacarta 2 features a unique battle system which combines strategic turn-based battles and real-time gameplay, creating a fresh twist on the traditional RPG formula. The game seamlessly blends world navigation and battles as everything happens in the same environment with no load screens or abrupt changes in the action when a fight begins or ends. Players can utilize objects found in the environment to their advantage and likewise, creatures and field objects dynamically react to the player’s actions. A free-roaming camera further adds to the unrestricted interaction with the world. Players are also given flexible control over their party with the ability to pre-assign attributes for each AI character and the freedom to easily switch control between all the characters at any time.
 
 Magna Carta 2 Game Features
    Magnacarta 2 features a variety of adaptable options to keep the action fresh throughout the game. By defeating monsters, players obtain Kamonds which can be used to enhance a variety of weapons as well as create new items. When players change their weapon, they take on a different fighting style that adapts all the related moves and skills to that weapon’s attributes. While normal skills can be performed by any player at any time, special moves require skilfully timed actions to exploit the rhythm of the battle to their advantage. The pinnacle of special moves is the over-drive mode where players can use the most powerful combination of skills at one time to perform devastating attacks to defeat enemies. KAN (magic), representing the four elements of nature (Wind, Water, Lightning and Fire), adds another dimension to gameplay whereby players generate KAN for use in battle and to affect environmental objects in various ways.

SALE Chikyuu Boueigun 3 (Japan-X360) US$65.00/ea

 NCS Product Synopsis

Update: December 15, 2006
«©NCSX» The year is 2017 and an invasion is in progress. As alien vessels clutter the skies overhead, the citizenry gets jittery and panicky. To combat the threat of alien domination, the troopers of the Earth Defense Force are marshaled into action once again. Take control of one such trooper and fight back against massive mechanical automatons, insects, humanoid robots, and megalithic monstrosities that hunker down when attacked.

   In earlier Chikyuu Boueigun games, players fought alone against the invading hordes but in the Xbox 360 sequel, multiple COM-controlled troopers help the cause by fighting the enemy on their own volition. Familiar enemies in the game include the massive ants and spiders which crawl around in realistic fashion. Their blood in the new game is colored a dark red instead of the yellowish ochre of previous Chikyuu releases. When running around, a red targeting reticule keeps track of where you're firing.

Game Features
» A total of 50 missions filled with carnage, destruction, and drama
» Players may obtain and use 100 different weapons
» Commandeer vehicles such as a motorcycle, mech, helicopter, and tank

NCS Region Test
   Chikyuu Boueigun 3 only boots on Japanese Xbox 360 consoles. It is not compatible with USA Xbox 360s.

SALE Over G Energy Air Force (Japan-X360) US$68.00/ea

NCS Product Synopsis

Update: March 30, 2006
«©NCSX» High-performance aircraft require powerful engines to drive them and the Xbox 360 serves as a suitable platform for rendering heavily armed birds of prey. The flight of the planes and the dog fighting action runs fast and hot as pilots struggle to keep up with zooming hostiles and situations at hand. As the story goes, theaters of conflict are popping up all over the world and only a team of fighter pilots can quell the firestorms.

Modes in the game include:
SCENARIO / Travel to hot spots around the globe and engage in aerial combat that's backed by a storyline and conflict situations.
CHALLENGE / Missions with simple objectives such as blasting enemies.
MULTIPLAY / Head-to-head action in Arena and Versus modes (online)

   Over 30 fighter jets are featured in the game including the F-15J, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-16C, F-22A, F-117A Nighthawk, A-10, F/A-18E Super Hornet, F-35, Su-25, and the F-2A. While no one at NCS has ever flown an F-22A or a Super Hornet, the virtual representations of both planes apparently behave as they would in real life. We'll accept Taito's word at face value.

   The first printing of Over G includes a Limited Edition Region-2 DVD which features gameplay footage, "F15J, F2A, T4 Maneuvering Flight," "A Day in the Life of a Fighter Pilot," and more.

SALE Kengo Zero (Japan-X360) US$65.00/ea

NCS Product Synopsis

Update: September 7, 2006
 «©NCSX» After the release of Shutoko Battle X in Japan earlier this summer, Genki shows love for the Xbox 360 once again with a 3D samurai simulator. The developer/publisher takes the Kengo series all the way back to the beginning and then some. Billed as a prequel to the first game, Kengo Zero features sword fighting action that's bolstered with an engaging story line. Players take on the role of a broad-faced swordsman who roams the countryside and mixes it up with famous figures from feudal Japan. Interesting characters that may be encountered include the legendary Musashi Miyamoto, Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma, Kojiro Sasaki, and Jubei Yagyu.
 
    Fighters in Kengo may adopt different stances to attack and defend during an encounter. When defending, an oncoming sword slash may be parried and followed up with an immediate counterattack. Skilled killers may also strike single death blows to terminate enemies posthaste in addition to gradually carving an opponent up with strategic slices. Kengo Zero features an online mode but note that it is only a ranking system where gamers may upload their best scores to compare against other players.
 
 Region Lock-out
    Kengo Zero does not boot on USA or European Xbox 360 consoles.
 
 NCS Game Notes
 » The blood runs ruddy and thick.
 
 » Two fighters may clang swords and tie themselves in tests of strength for short intervals before the sword swinging resumes.
 
 » When an attacker clumsily chops in quick succession without skill or style, it's a simple matter to block all of his attacks. Each blow will however send the hero back a step as the force of the attacks rain down. The best way to deal with an unthinking attacker is the parry and counterattack. After parrying, players may also sidestep the opponent and then attack.

X360 DeathSmiles II Limited Edition - Import Sale US$68.90/each

NCS Product Synopsis
Update: May 26, 2010
«©NCSX»  In the original DeathSmiles, the heroines Windia, Caspar, Rosa, and Follet were teenagers who were accompanied by invincible familiars. In the sequel, the girls have devolved and they're no longer teens. They're now "tweens" which accentuates the lolita-gothic theme of the game with a younger-looking cast of immaculately garbed and coiffed junior maidens.

   Similar to the first DeathSmiles, the sequel is a horizontal shooter where players fire shots to the right, fire shots to the left, and drop the occasional bomb blast. A lock-shot is also available by pressing the "A" and "B" shot buttons together to lock onto enemies. In the coin-op version, DeathSmiles II featured a cast of four characters with Windia and Caspar returning to reprise their roles. They're joined by a lad named Lei with an identity crisis. Although Lei's a male, he nevertheless dresses up like a maid and appears to be wearing eyeliner. The fourth character is a youngling named Supe (Soupy) who looks like a baby munchkin just emerging from her swaddling clothes. The Xbox 360 conversion improves on the coin-op original by adding Rosa and Follet as playable characters. The 360 game also includes two new stages for a total of 7 to plow through and attendant bosses who guard the new stages. DeathSmiles 2 is designed with 3D in mind so the stages, enemies, and bosses are rendered 3D models which may be off-putting to some 2D shmup purists. We like the game just fine however - picked up a used kit for about US$1500. Preorders for the Regular Edition (US$73.90) and the Limited Edition which includes a bonus soundtrack and slipcase (US$119.90) are shipping today.

X360 Onechanbara Z: Kagura - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» A new girl named Kagura takes up the sword in a new hack 'n slash action game where zombies and the monstrous overlords are eviscerated and plundered in gory fashion. Kagura bears a strong resemblance to Aya of previous Onechanbara game with her svelte yet buxom frame, wavy tresses, and cowboy hat. Kagura battles the undead with her half-sister Saaya and the two are half-human and half-vampire killing machines. At the outset of the game, the two sisters are en route from Romania to Japan to eliminate Aya and Saki for rousing zombies all over the world.

   The two girls are armed with three weapons each with which to slay their adversaries and deal damage on a quick and massive scale. For example, Kagura wields dual swords while Saaya is armed with a chainsaw to buzz through undead flesh. A new system introduced in the game called 'Blood Recovery' allows the sisters to regain health by drawing in their own spilled blood. Since the sisters are vampires, they can perform a move called 'Heroic Drain' which sucks blood from powerful foes to reduce their vitality and prepare them for the eventual kill. Preorders ship on January 19, 2012.

X360 El Shaddai Ascension Of The Metatron - Preorder

From the Publisher
El Shaddai: ASCENSION OF THE METATRON is an epic original action adventure game inspired by an alternate telling of biblical mythology as narrated in the ‘heretical’ Book of Enoch, part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The game has been developed by a ‘dream team’ internal Japanese studio whose former credits include iconic multi-million selling franchises such as Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, and Okami.
   El Shaddai: ASCENSION OF THE METATRON features a disruptive next-generation combat system and stunning original direction from director Sawaki Takeyasu, previously the art director on Okami – considered by some media as ‘the most beautiful action game ever created.’
   “With an immensely talented development team combined with the game’s highly inspired action game play and strikingly unique art style, I am proud to deliver this game to gamers all over the world. I hope you will enjoy the wonderful game experience of El Shaddai,” said Game Director Sawaki Takeyasu. Preorders are welcome to ship on April 28, 2011.

X360 Dennou Senki Virtual On Force - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Nearly a decade has passed since Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force debuted on Sega's Hikaru arcade hardware. In those years, home gaming technology has caught up with the specs of the Hikaru and Sega's opting for a Force release on the Xbox 360.

   Virtual On Force is a 2-vs-2 robot fighting game where players commandeer mechs known as Virtuaroids. The Xbox 360 conversion of the game adds a Cooperative Boss Battle mode, a Mission Mode which contains 91 stages, achievements, and online gameplay. Sega is also giving away a bonus "Fetish" DLC code with the first production of the game which allows players to augment the physical attributes of the mechs named Fei-Yen and Angelan. By inputting the code, Angelan and Fei-Yen's flat bosoms blossom into what appears to be a "D-Cups" which might boost their self-esteem. Once-flat robotic bottoms also grow into what's known as a ghetto onion.

   It's unclear why Sega didn't broadcast that the game would be region-free when they started accepting preorders but the game is region-free. We probably would have sold 20X what we did if we had known. C'est la vie.

X360 Rajirugi NOAH Massive - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Sales for the Wii conversion of Radirgy NOAH were tepid. Maybe the elite shmup corps overseas didn't feel like playing a shooter with an input device called a "Nunchuk" or a "Remote." This week, Radirgy NOAH debuts on the Japanese Xbox 360 which should prove to be more favorable for Milestone's sales. In the confines of NCS' offices, we consider the X360 to be the spiritual successor of the Dreamcast... at least in terms of coin-op to console shooter conversions.

   Radirgy NOAH is a vertical shooter where a squat ship displays its versatility by shooting at flitting enemies, shielding itself from danger, and slashing at incoming attackers. By firing away and slashing during the course of the stages in Radirgy, the ship levels up both offensive functions for improved performance. "NOAH" features a simultaneous 2-player option and is viewed in the Yoko (horizontal) aspect which allows enough room for both gamers to maneuver and takes sides. The final boss "Ruki Mishima" from the first Radirgy is an optional player-character in NOAH. Bosses in the game include a bald-headed homo sapien in yellow pants who performs a spin attack that launches fireballs and an aerial platform that disappears in a puff of clouds when destroyed.
   Milestone is adding the word "Massive" to the Xbox 360 conversion of Radirgy NOAH but that impressive descriptor appears to only encompass new game modes in addition to the default arcade mode, an illustrations gallery which features unlockable artwork, and an online ranking mode.
