Ikkitousen: Eloquent Fist Regular Edition - Import Preorder

The girls of Ikkitousen are back in a 2D punch 'n kick action game that's somewhat reminiscent of the coin-operated Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon game. Rather than releasing a barebones side scrolling brawler, Marvelous is going beyond the call of duty and will include a sizable amount of animated content in the game which chronicles the story of the Ikkitousen fighters. Eloquent Fist also features a fair amount of fan service in the form of wobbling boobs that shudder, fragile clothing that shatters, and more Kanu Unchou than you can shake a stick at.
NCS started preorders for the limited edition of the game yesterday but reservations for the regular edition are welcome today. Pricing is set at JPY4800 or US$48.90 from NCS.

» Gameboy Advance SP with a Red Sun shell and AC adapter
» GBA RockMan EXE 4 Tournament Red Sun game cartridge

Sale Offering: NCS remaining inventory of Rockman EXE4 Gameboy Advance bundles is new, factory boxed, and in overall excellent condition.

Tales of Vesperia - Import Preorder

The Tales games from Namco have enjoyed stellar sales over the years and over 10 million copies have made their ways into the eager hands of couch-based-adventurers. The tenth Tales game ships this summer and it's an Xbox 360 exclusive.

An androgynous hero named Yuri Lowell serves as the protagonist who teams up with a assortment of fellow travelers including a pink-maned girl named Estellise, a knight who goes by the name Flynn, and a pipe-clenching pooch named Rapido.

Early preorders for Tales of Vesperia will include a bonus Special DVD courtesy of Namco. Preorders are welcome to ship on August 7, 2008 at JPY7800 or US$73.90 from NCS.

Oneechan Bara Vortex: Aya 1/7 Scale - Import Preorder

When Aya of Oneechan Bara fame isn't busy eviscerating zombies, she stands around in her anti-fashionista apparel and poses for toy sculptors. Aya also serves double-duty as an easy target so that voyeurs can get their ogle on.

The latest Aya toy figure is proportioned at 1/7 scale and hails from Alter. When NCS makes buying decisions for Japanese toys, we generally look for action heroes or heroines that are sculpted in dynamic poses. Alter's Aya isn't dynamic but she nevertheless possesses that special mix of presence, verve, and charisma that forces us to open the corporate coffers and buy her in bulk quantities. Preorders are welcome to ship in October 2008 at JPY8800 or US$83.90 from NCS. Jan Code: 4560228201796
