SOTW Ultima: Seisha he no Michi for Famciom- Sale

NCS Sale of the Week Offering: September 14, 2009
Original Release in Japan: August 20, 1989
«©NCSX» New and factory boxed copy of Ultima: Seisha he no Michi for the Famicom which was released over 20 years ago. The subtitle of the game translates to "Quest of the Avatar."

Product Condition: NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed. The condition of the cardboard boxes are, in our opinion, good to very good but there is obvious wear due to decades of warehousing so they're not perfect. The game cartridges, inner plastic trays, and instruction manuals are in brand new and excellent condition however.

Sale Offering: Pricing per copy of Ultima is set at US$32.90 each. If you reside within the continental US, NCS recommends shipping by USPS Media Mail for the most economical domestic carriage cost.

Product SKU: RV595922
JAN Code: 4988013016996
Japanese Product Name: ウルティマ (聖者への道)
Compatibility: Famicom (Japan-Only)

NDS Pokemon HeartGold - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Product Synopsis (Spoiler-free)
«©NCSX» Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver were stellar sellers a few years back when they were released on the Gameboy Color. NCS recalls the reams of invoices we printed and prepared. Since remakes are all the rage nowadays, Nintendo rehashes both Pokemon games and throws in a little handheld pedometer called the PokéWalker which is designed to look like a little Pokéball. The PokeWalker transfers monster data to/from the Nintendo DS via infrared signal. The inclusion of the bonus device is a value added proposition which is intended to motivate buyers.

Upon powering up the game, a short cinema introduces players to the two new protagonists, a few familiar Pokemon, and the sinister squad of antagonists in the game. The title screen features the elegant form of a Houou as it flaps its wings and flies high above the clouds. «Shots»

TOYS Metal Gear Solid 4 Ration Sound Keychain Series 2 Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The original set of MGS4 Ration Sound Keychains from earlier this year enjoyed stellar sales and sold out a few days after our allotment arrived from Japan. We tried to restock the toys but our persistent efforts were met with silence and in the case of one vendor, outright annoyance and a retort of "cease and desist." At the very least, we tried.

System Service has started preorders for a second series of MGS4 Ration Sound Keychains which feature another set of six toys that emit sounds and phrases from the Metal Gear Solid 4 game. The character voices captured are: "Old Snake A," "Old Snake B," "Otacon," "Raiden," and "Liquid Ocelot." We were hoping for a Ration Sound Keychain that blares out Old Snake's "cough-hack-cough" sound effect but maybe next time. To listen to any of the sound effects, users simply press the button on the front of each keychain. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2009.
