Space Invaders Extreme - New Import, In Stock

It doesn't seem like 5 years have passed since we sold products from the Space Invaders 25th Anniversary celebration in 2003. There was the PS2 game, the special 25th Anniversary bundle with Dual Shock cabinet, and a bunch of other products that have sold out over the years. Time flies and we find ourselves near the beginning of the Space Invaders 30th Anniversary event where Taito will release another batch of games and products to mark the occasion.

Space Invaders Extreme on the PSP is a fusion of genres. It mixes rhythm design sensibilities with classic Space Invaders convention to create something that's new but honors the old. Original music from club scene artists are used to energize the levels and the Space Invaders not only march in regimented lines as they always have but some levels have them flying in like.... Galaxians.

Chain attacks are the key to scoring massive points since the multiplier rewards trigger-happy cowboys. Game modes include the default Arcade Mode, a Ranking Mode, and the Network Mode. In addition to standard shots from the player's cannon, new school cutting lasers and the use of powerful bomb shots are available to kick up the action another notch. Extra kinetic visual flair (some may call it a severe distraction) comes from the background movies that play while the shooting action takes place in the foreground.

Popolocrois Story - Clearance

The original Popolocrois Story from the original Playstation and its sequel Popolocrois Story II are remade on the PSP with gameplay enhancements, cinemas, and slight graphical upgrades. Follow the adventures of Prince Pietro as he wanders the world in search of answers and solutions to incidents that have beset his kingdom. A new third adventure is included for jaded gamers to wade through.

The visual style of the games use cel-shading to give the characters and game world a cartoon animation quality that's both charming and striking. The battles are turn-based where conventional attacks intermingle with magic to roust enemies. Pietro and friends may also summon creatures onto the battlefield for some tactical offensive support.

NCS Sale Offering
Pricing per copy of Popolocrois Story is set at US$28.90 which includes free shipping by Media Mail within the USA. NCS' remaining inventory is new and from our original shipments. [View larger photos]

Senjou no Valkyria Limited Edition - Preorder

The shortage situation with the limited edition of Senjou no Valkyria is still problematic but we've received some assurances from our Japanese vendors over the past few days.

The LE bundle includes a scaled model of the Edelweiss tank featured in the game, an Alicia figure, and a guide book which contains illustrations and information on the characters and game world. Preorders are welcome to ship on April 24, 2008. Jan Code: 4974365835149

Neo Geo Joystick 2 - Preorder

With a wave of Neo Geo classics making their way to the Wii, there was only one thing SNK had to do to make sure the games played right: Release the original Neo Geo controller for the Wii and make sure it works with the Virtual Console as well.

The dimensions of the Wii Neo Geo Joystick match the original at 270×65 ×190mm (10.62 x 2.55 x 7.48") so old school players can relive the golden years of the Neo Geo in style. Preorders are welcome to ship on April 10, 2008 at US$68.90 per joystick. Jan Code: 4560289420099

Days of Memories 2 - Preorder

The original Days of Memories compilation for the NDS sold remarkably well for NCS. We're talking shooting game numbers here which is unheard of for a dating game. Then again, SNK and its stable of characters are a good draw most of the time.

When Spring rolls around, love is in the air once again with SNK's Days of Memories 2 which gathers together another three DOM dating games which were originally released for the cell phone market in Japan. By using a touch pen and canned dialogue, players interact with the finest SNK lovelies and perhaps discover romance on the small screen of the NDS. Early preorders will include a bonus telephone card in 30% ratio.
