Theta (Θ) - In Stock

Theta is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet and looks like a gear. The kind that connects to other gears and spins to transfer rotational exertion. That's pretty much the basic theme of the Nintendo DS Theta game which collects two puzzlers as follows:

» Kaiten Puzzle: Rotate a gear to transfer two spheres located in each gear to another gear. The stylus is used in a circular motion to rotate the gears. It's a simple idea but the proper execution requires thought.
» Aquarium Puzzle: Colored bubbles waft lazily in the lower screen. The stylus is used to swish the bubbles in and out of three circles located on the touch screen. The goal is to arrange the bubbles inside the circles to match the patterns shown on three circles located on the top screen.

Yamasa Digi World SP Pachislot Sengoku Musou - In Stock

Sheath your sword and doff the armor from your breast. There'll be no bloodshed nor dismemberment today. Koei relinquishes control of the Sengoku Musou franchise this one time and gives Yamasa (the pachinko gaming company) free rein over the Warring States, legendary generals, and all that other good stuff.

Since Yamasa's specialty is pachinko, the company wraps a Sengoku Musou skin and theme over a regulation issue pachinko game and lets gamers have at it. Three game modes are featured - Encounter Mode, Simulation Mode, and Challenge Mode. A Museum Mode allows gamers to view the pachinko machines and the apparatus that makes them tick. For the uninitiated, pachislot refers slot machines which can be found in any casino. Players insert a credit, pull a virtual handle, and then watch the spinners roll. If lady luck smiles upon you, three of a kind will line up horizontally or diagonally and you'll win credits and collect medals.

Megazone 23 Blue Garland

Fans of the animation series Megazone 23 seeking closure won't find it in the new PS3 adventure. Shogo Yahagi from the original series is gone and replaced by a new hero named Hiroto Takanaka. Returning characters include Yui Takanaka, Eve Tokimatsuri, and B.D. Yui sports a pair of red eyes in the PS3 game and is back in her green hair which was seen in Megazone 23 Part 1. In Part 2 of the animation, she was brunette with hazel eyes. Eve looks like a stewardess in a tan/brown uniform and B.D. is an older version of his incarnation from Megazone 23 Part 2.

The game takes players to an alternate reality version of Megazone 23 Part I which is set 20 years after the conclusion of the first animated series. The bulk of the game is made up of interactive scenarios but there's a point and click traveling sequence dubbed Cockpit and a battle mode where fighting actions are selected from a menu. Once an action is chosen, the Garland throws out a slash attack or fires off a round of artillery.

Import Shipment Updates

Update at 11:30AM EST
Based on tracking information this morning, our new import shipments are all scheduled to arrive tomorrow. We thought at least a few boxes of games would arrive today but nada. If we get another "Tinglesque" surprise like we did yesterday, we'll update the website in the afternoon.

Due to the sizable amount of parcels that we will be dispatching tomorrow, we ask that our customers make no changes from this point forward. Invoices have been printed, cardboard boxes have been assembled, and shipping labels are all ready to go. We're just waiting for the stock to arrive so we can efficiently pack, tape, and ship everyone's preorder at the same time. Please note that we have also begun processing transactions for the Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII PSP 10th Anniversary bundle. We are still accepting new orders for the bundles to ship on Friday but we'll update accordingly if our supplies begin to dwindle to meager levels.

A shipment of the limited edition Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Potion may arrive tomorrow but we're not certain at this point. The potions are limited to 77,777 units just like the Crisis Core PSP bundle is limited to only 77,777 units. The special potion package includes a "Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Ultimania" book which spans 208 pages and an ornate vial which holds 100ml of the potion drink. We'll post photos once they're in stock but we're thinking Monday of next week for the potions. Due to the large size and heavy weight of the potion package (due to the book), we'll finalize pricing once we know the shipping costs.
