Smile Slime Aloha Shirt - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Hawaiian shirts are so 70's but they still hold some charm thanks to their wild colors, jagged designs, palm trees, and Slimes. That's right, SLIMES. When Square Enix ships the Smile Slime Aloha Shirt this summer, randy wearers will be able to show off their sense (or lack) of style.

Only one size is being offered by SQEX - a Medium Free-Size made of 100% cotton which measures 71cm (27.95") from collar to hem and 58cm (22.83") across the chest. If you're bigger than those sizes, take note that Square Enix doesn't want your business and plot your revenge accordingly. Preorders are welcome to ship in late July 2009 at JPY5800 or US$63.90.

Gyakuten Kenji Premium Edition NDSi - New Import

©ncs Miles Edgeworth comes into his own in Capcom's Gyakuten Kenji where the gray-haired legal eagle takes up the position of lead prosecutor. Resplendent in his crazy eccentric purple outfit, Miles looks the part of an old school court dandy but he's dead serious about the law. NCS expected a silhouette of Miles to make an appearance on the Gyakuten Kenji Premium Nintendo DSi but Capcom wouldn't have any of that. Miles isn't on top of the DSi but a court jester is. Well, it's really Taiho-kun aka Blue Badger who's the jester-esque mascot of the Los Angeles Police Department in the Gyakuten game series. Taiho-kun is plastered on top of a badge to give him a sort of "official" appearance but he still looks like a clown to us. Not that there's anything wrong with clowns or jesters.

Preorder requests for the Gyakuten Kenji Premium Edition will ship today and new orders are welcome. Due to limited supplies, please note that vendors hiked prices which are reflected in NCS' retail pricing today. Please note the e-Capcom version of Gyakuten Kenji LE will arrive on Thurs-Fri.

Hello Kitty Limited Edition MP3 Player

©ncs Eikoh borrows a page from the Apple School of Design and announces an official Hello Kitty Limited Design MP3 player which measures a mere 5.5cm or 2.16" square. That's about the size of a Post-it Note. There's no built-in memory in the player but it'll accept 1GB SD Memory Cards filled with your collection of music. Since there's no screen on the player, you'll basically have to listen to songs in the order that they're stored on the card. Eikoh includes a pair of bud earphones and a USB cable in the package. Preorders ship in September 2009 at US$33.90 from NCS.

ASCII Pad Pingu Version for Playstation - Clearance

NCS Sale of the Week Offering: May 25, 2009
Original Release in Japan: Dec 22, 1999
«©NCSX» New and factory boxed ASCII Pad Pingu Version for the original Playstation which was released roughly a decade ago. NCS' remaining inventory is in excellent condition but please note that some boxes may have slight corner dings and/or dents caused by years in warehouse storage and warehouse-to-warehouse transportation.

The ASCII Pad looks like Sony's official Dual Shock controller but the finger grips on the bottom of the pad are gone. In their place are stubbier grips which don't provide much surface area to wrap your fingers around. The shell of the controller is transparent so gamers can look inside and see the layout of the pcboard and how the plastic shell has been molded around the innards. It's compelling viewing if you're into stuff like that.

Sale Offering: Pricing per ASCII Pad Pingu Version is set at US$23.90 each. If you reside in the USA, you may select USPS Media Mail shipping on our shop which is about $2.50. International customers are encouraged to select USPS First Class Airmail at a cost of approximately US$10 to most destinations. «Photo and Screenshot Gallery»

Zettai Zetsumei Grip - New JPN Import

«©NCSX» Irem's Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 3 game shipped for the Playstation Portable last month and Japanese manufacturer MSY has created a special accessory which holds the PSP and prevents it from slipping out of your hands. When playing games such as ZZT3, the excitement level can ramp up which causes sweaty and slippery palms to be the order of the day.

The Zettai Zetsumei Grip holds the PSP in its confines and is designed with a special "cracked asphalt" appearance which mimics the broken city that the game takes place in. The ZZ Grip may also be used as a stand since it has a support on the back which may be used to prop the PSP upright on a tabletop. The Grip may be used with the PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 models.

Revolutionary Road - New Release, In Stock

From the Publisher
Frank and April, a married couple in the 1950s, have always seen themselves as special, different, ready and willing to live their lives based on higher ideals. So, as soon as they move into their new house on Revolutionary Road, they proudly declare their independence from the suburban inertia that surrounds them and determine never to be trapped by the social confines of their era. Yet for all their charm, beauty and irreverence, the Wheelers find themselves becoming exactly what they didn't expect: a good man with a routine job whose nerve has gone missing; a less-than-happy homemaker starving for fulfillment and passion; an American family with lost dreams, like any other.
Driven to change their fates, April hatches an audacious plan to start all over again, to leave the comforts of Connecticut behind for the great unknown of Paris. But when the plan is put in motion, each spouse is pushed to extremes--one to escape whatever the cost, the other to save all that they have, no matter the compromises.
