X360 Mushihimesama Futari v1.5 Platinum - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Pilot Princess Reko atop her golden beetle Kiniro or take control of a lad named Palm who rides a dragon known as Hirow. Once control is handed over, maneuver your pilot of choice and shoot at waves upon waves of insect attackers which rain onto the screen from all sides. The Xbox 360 conversion of Mushihimesama Futari is based on the Arcade 1.50 version of the game which features bullet patterns that are different from those of Futari v1.01.

   Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 has the distinction of being one of the most difficult shooters in existence but it's mainly because the bullets from bosses rain down in sheets. Repeat: sheets. Literally, bullets upon bullets. Gamers can look forward to nonstop streaming shots, mesmerizing spiraling shots, and thick waves of rapid shots that afford 1cm of leeway. Even elite players who regularly conquer shmups of all stripes on one measly credit are initially confounded by Futari. We're of the opinion that Cave and arcade operators conspired to make sure that Futari 1.5 gobbles as many credits as possible from average players. Top players might need to feed the beast 2-20 credits depending on individual skill level and hitbox awareness.  

CUP Okami-den Chibiterasu Face Mug with Lid - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» NCS imported the Okami-den Teacup sets back in July 2010 but they're sold out now. We might get restock of the teacup set in a few weeks but in the meantime, e-Capcom has started preorders for another Okami-den inspired cup.

   The Okami-den Chibiterasu Face Mug with Lid is what we'd describe as a 3D cup because the front features the plaintive mug of Chibiterasu and the handle on the back is painted like his tail. The sides of the cup are adorned with cloudy "fins" that protrude slightly outward. A green lid is included which may be clamped on top of the cup to keep beverages inside hot or cold. Preorders are welcome to ship on or around February 28, 2011 at JPY1890 or US$39.90 from NCS. Pricing reflects special arrangements to purchase and import the Chibiterasu Face Mugs from e-Capcom Japan.
