Sengoku Musou Katana - In Stock

When the battlefields of Warring States beckoned in the past, players usually grabbed a Dual Shock 2 and thumbed their way through the hordes of enemy soldiers. The Wii brings a new dimension to the sword swinging action of the Sengoku Musou franchise by arming players with a Wiimote weapon that's slashed through the air. The nunchuk is used for movement and running so you'll need both hands to play.

When the game first boots up, you'll be asked to select one of your Mii characters which will create a save-data file which stores your player data, mini-game performance data, and general game records. Upon starting the Scenario Mode of the game, players receive their orders from Oda Nobunaga himself and head into battle where the action is viewed from a first person perspective. The Scenario Mode features four chapters and each chapter is comprised of five battles. As enemy soldiers motor in your direction, confront them and swing the Wiimote like a mad man (standing in his living room) to strike them down with a few strokes. Swords are the natural choice for cutting wide swaths through enemy hordes but muskets and bows may also be equipped for projectile attacks. A Challenge Mode (missions) and Competition Mode (mini-games) are also playable.

Final Fantasy IV Trading Arts Mini - Preorder

When you're a fan of the Final Fantasy games, there's a lot of deja vu in your life. Square Enix has a penchant for re-releasing, rehashing, and repackaging their library of Final Fantasies with aplomb. It's like they know the market is going to slurp up whatever they serve as long as those two magic words are somewhere on the packaging: Final. Fantasy.

Ready for another meal? Good, because the Final Fantasy IV Trading Arts Mini collection is winging its way to market this December. Six recognizable characters are featured in the set including the ebon-armored Cain Highwood, the gruff Cid Pollendina, and the strangely effeminate Cecil Harvey. Each figure measures approximately 6cm tall and are fixed posed. Please note that each factory case contains nine blind-boxed figures but we're assured by the Japanese supplier that each case contains at least 1 full set and three duplicates. Preorders are welcome to ship in December.

Tachikoma Silver Soft Vinyl Figure - Preorder

The default color of the Tachikoma is blue with white trim. However, in episode 12 of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, two color variants were shown: a silver-painted Tachikoma which was eventually destroyed and a yellow-painted model which was also wrecked in an all-out assault against the Umibozu.

NCS has peddled a few yellow-painted Tachikoma toys in the past year but Fewture's Tachikoma Silver Sofubi is the first gray-gunmetal colored version that we'll stock later this year. The toy is made of soft-vinyl for a pliable mech that's somewhat shiny. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late November 2007 at JPY6800 or US$65 from NCS.

Transformers Sports Label Convoy feat. Nike - In Stock

NCS recalls a time when the words "Nike" and "Transformers" would have never jibed in the same sentence or breath. Nike = Sneakers. Transformers = Robots. There's no relationship between the two whatsoever and never the twain shall meet.

Hell froze over.

Behold the latest collaboration betwixt two household names: Nike and Transformers. At first glom, the Nike Transformers looks like a well-appointed 6" duo-tone sneaker with white laces. However with a few twists, shifts, and turns, the shoe transforms into a recognizable robot known by fans the world over. This is no normal robot however since its trailing loose laces and wearing miniature sneaks which may be popped onto its mechanical feet. Please note that this release is the Marine color version of Sports Label Convoy which was released in Japan on Sept 11.

Halo History Pack - In Stock

Halo 3 lands soon and will bring the series to trilogy status. Before that highly anticipated occasion however, Microsoft takes a look back at Master Chief's antics in the game that started it all and its sequel. The Halo History Pack includes:

» Halo: Combat Evolved
» Halo 2

The versions included in the package are the "Platinum Collection" re-release editions and both games include a color manual in Japanese. An update disc is also included in the pack so Xbox 360 owners can get the games working on their consoles. A little advertising flyer included inside features information on Halo 3 and the special first print limited edition which ships along with the regular edition on September 27. Please note that the original Japanese version of Halo is only playable in Japanese while Halo 2 features an English language option.
Both games are packaged in a cardboard box with top and bottom flaps - it is not a slipcase (to answer some recent customer inquiries).
