PSP Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaiki Or: 3D - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» It ain't easy being a monster. Every self-righteous hero wants to capture the monster and parade it around like some sort of trophy. That's where you come in. You're the monster's protector. A guardian who carves out deep dungeons that house the beast and is complicated enough to foil any attempts by heroes to capture your little charge. By populating the dungeon with slime, skeletons, and even dragons, an ecosystem resides in the labyrinth to attack the parade of heroes that are after fortune and glory. A new feature in Yuusha no Kuse 3D is the addition of water which may be used to make the dungeon a watery hazard for hard charging heroes.

NEWS General Updates

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep PSP Bundle Due to a shipping delay from Japan, please note that preorders for the Kingdom Hearts PSP Bundles will not ship out from NCS until Wednesday of this week. Square's decision to release the game over the weekend in Japan instead of the usual Thursday release provided some nice logistical problems for exporters which caused this delay.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Game - Restock on Wednesday Kingdom Hearts BBS is currently sold out and orders that were placed since January 7 will ship this Wednesday when the next batch of shipments arrive. The recent spate of orders for the game was an unexpected development since early preorder volume was pretty good which proceeded to peter out by the time December rolled around. The market is fickle.

TOYS Queen's Blade Airi Milestone Version - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
Update: January 8, 2010
«©NCSX» When NCS first met Airi a few years ago, she was a ginger-haired spirit maid with a penchant for the scythe. She was often depicted with a battle-damaged dress that made for easy viewing of her skivvies as well as her bosom. Although Airi carries a scythe that's as big as she is, she doesn't really need it to kill. Airi demolishes her opponents by simply siphoning the life force out of them with a mere touch.
The Milestone version of Airi from Funny Knights/Aoshima revolutionizes the killer maid with blonde locks and no maid's outfit. Airi's decked out in a battle-damaged skirt that's tipped right down the middle so that it's quite clear that her underwear is lily white. The lack of a dress also allows viewers to confirm that the color of her bra matches her dress and stockings. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late April 2010.

PS3 Heavy Rain [Regular Edition] - European Import Preorder

From the Publisher
Heavy Rain for PlayStation 3 is a dark, immersive and emotionally-engaging experience; one that expands upon the innovative ideas of 2005's acclaimed Fahrenheit to create a noir-thriller where decisions are charged with importance and actions can have drastic and unforseen consequences. Breaking with traditional game conventions where necessary, the gameplay will be based around story, emotional involvement and the player's decisions and interactions, rather than high-scores, combat and competition. Intuitive gameplay and controls are also fundamental to the experience - ensuring that the game is mature but accessible, and avoiding alienating players with obscure stats and complex interfaces.

In Heavy Rain for PlayStation 3 you don't watch the story - you play it. The dynamic narrative unfolds through the players actions - not cut scenes - and every action has a consequence. The choices you make and the way you interact with other characters have repercussions throughout the storyline. With unprecedented responsibility over the fates of the game's characters, players will find Heavy Rain on PS3 an emotional experience unlike any other. It dares to tackle subject matter and themes rarely touched upon in video games, making it a genuinely mature game for a new world of adult gamers.

Game Features

• A unique emotional experience that makes you “feel” as if you’re IN a psychological crime thriller
• Stunning graphics, animation and technology combine with a strong narrative that delivers a movie-like experience
• Mature content, reflecting a realistic world setting that explores powerful themes
• Accessible gameplay via intuitive, contextual controls and interface
