NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Shunsaku Aoshima was a computer salesman who became dissatisfied with the business of peddling products. Aoshima decides to change careers and enters the police force after being trained as a detective. He's assigned to the Wangan Police Department by a board of elderly police officials who express some doubts as to his qualifications. However, there's a shortage of policemen in Japan and they grudgingly send him to Wangan to be a jurisdictional officer.
The Oforu Daisosasen (Bayside Shakedown) television series and movies were very popular in Japan and "The Game" adaptation arrives later this year. In the game, players take on the role of Shunsaku who battles the monsters of bureaucracy, professional animosity, apathy, and general inefficiency in the Japanese crime fighting ranks. The game is played by way of interactive sequences, cut scenes, and decision-making through a simple menu system. A total of 50 missions may be explored and solved by using intuition, clues, and investigation. Early preorders will ship with a bonus "Frog Express" touch pen which measures 13.6cm in length and is being given away by the publisher in 50% ratio. Preorders ship on July 15, 2010.

SOTW SS Pro Commander for Sega Saturn - Clearance

NCS Sale of the Week Offering: May 24, 2010
Original Release in Japan: July 10, 1996
«©NCSX» Brand new and factory packaged SS Pro Commander for the Sega Saturn which is the only controller we've ever stocked that is packed with a user manual that's as big as a poster. Really. As big as a poster to explain the myriad functions that the controller is capable of. The special buttons on the face of the joypad are: SLOW, PLAY, EDIT, TEACH, STEP, TIME, COPY, DEL which means that gamers can pull of moves, store them, and then replay them ad infinitum. While supplies last, NCS will include a bonus SS Pro Commander Memory Card which plugs into the bottom of the joypad. Optec used to sell the memory cards separately instead of being good blokes and including them with each controller.
Product Condition
NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed in the original cardboard containers. The packaging is in very good structural shape but there is denting and scuffing n the cardboard due to years of warehouse-to-warehouse transport and storage. NCS' inventory does not suffer from "sun-fading" which is caused when product are left out in the open so that sunlight bleaches and fades the colors from once-pretty packaging.
Sale Offering
Pricing per SS Pro Commander is set at US$25.90 each. If you reside in the USA, NCS recommends USPS Media Mail shipping for the most economical domestic service. For our customers outside the USA, NCS recommends normal Airmail International service. «Photo Gallery»

BOOK SFIV & SSFIV Official Complete Works - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Capcom's Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV have been accompanied by a lot of artwork. To promote the games, Capcom commissioned artists to create advertising material featuring characters such as Ken, Ryu, Ken vs. Ryu, and much much more. During the creative process of the game itself, artists sketched out the characters and set up storyboards before the visuals of the game were fleshed to life on the development stations. All that artwork was for the coin-op versions of the game. Artists also went about creating the advertising material for the home conversions of the games when the time came for Capcom to sell directly to the CS market.
With all that artwork, sketches, storyboards, and galleries in existence, it was only proper that Capcom collect all of it in one handy volume. One book to hold it all for fans to stare it, appreciate, and treasure for years to come. That book ships later this summer and Capcom also throws in interviews and commentary from the development team for added value. Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV Official Complete Works is an A4 Size Book (8.27 X 11.69") which contains 176 pages.
Preorders are welcome to ship on June 25, 2010 at JPY2100 or US$33.90 from NCS. Please note pricing reflects importation charges to send the books from Japan to NYC with overnight shipping.

NDS Metal Max 3 - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Data East released the original Metal Max on the Famicom back in 1991 and a sequel was released on the Super Famicom in 1993. For the third canonical release in the series, fans had to wait 17 years but we think it'll be worth it. Metal Max is now under the control of Kadokawa Shoten and the third volume in the game follows in the dystopian scenario footsteps of the first two Maxes.
The hero in MM3 is a ginger-haired lad who has been brought back to life through the use of electro-shock resuscitation in a laboratory operated by a scientist named Dr. Mince. Since humans tend to lose memories when they die, the protagonist suffers from amnesia but he wanders into the wilderness to find himself, battle enemies, and man a tank-like vehicle. Preorders will ship on July 29, 2010 and all reservations will include a bonus booklet of Metal Max manga that's being given away in 1:1 ratio.
NDS MameGoma 3 ~Kawaii ga Ippai!~ - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Mamegoma are a troupe of baby seals who have beady eyes, doughy bodies, and little flippers that don't look like they'd provide enough thrust for swimming stints. The seals are relatively well known in Japan and have become merchandising fodder for SAN-X and they're starring in another game that's headed for the NDS this summer.
In MameGoma 3 ~Kawaii ga Ippai!~, players raise baby seals from younglings to adulthood and care for them with food, training, and heaping amounts of love. To raise food for the seals, players can grow various vegetables and fruits in a garden so that the seals can eat organic foodstuffs such as bananas, beans, melons, and pears. Real seals eat fish but Mamegoma seals eat fruits and vegetables. The Mamegoma interact playfully with fish in the game so they can't eat their friends for supper. Preorders are welcome to ship on August 5, 2010 at JPY4800 or US$52.90.
