PS3 Biohazard 6 - New Import

From the Publisher
   Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 promises to be the dramatic horror experience of 2013. Resident Evil favorites Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Ada Wong are joined by new characters, including Jake Muller, to face a new horror, the highly virulent C-virus, as the narrative moves between North America, the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and the Chinese city of Lanshiang.

   Starting with three distinct, yet interwoven story threads, each with their own pair of protagonists for either solo or co-op play, both offline and online, not only will Resident Evil 6 deliver both different perspectives and gameplay styles but, with the introduction of the innovative Crossover mechanic players will be able to team up and share the horror. At key moments during the game, up to four players can join together online to tackle a specific situation, with some stages seeing the usual partnerships swapped to further increase the depth of gameplay.

   Once players have completed the initial three campaigns they will unlock an all new campaign featuring Resident Evil’s very own femme fatale, Ada Wong. A single player experience, Ada’s campaign features unique missions, gameplay and weapons which will provide answers to the unanswered questions from the first three campaigns.

• Horror on a global scale - No longer confined to a specific location, the outbreak of the C-virus is worldwide with the action taking place in North America, Eastern Europe and China
• Multiple characters and intertwined storylines - Experience the horror playing as Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Jake Muller with their respective partners
• Solo or co-op - Resident Evil 6 delivers both single and co-op gameplay either offline or online
• Zombies make a return to the Resident Evil series, but can now run, jump at players and even use weapons, making them far more challenging than in previous games
• The enemy creatures known as J'avo first came to prominence in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe and have the ability to regenerate when injured; furthermore, if J'avo take substantial damage to a particular area, they can mutate the affected body part into a variety of different forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and adapt to this unpredictability

PS3 Biohazard 6 Premium Edition e-Capcom - New Import

NCS Product  Update

«©NCSX» Reservations are shipping today for Capcom's 'Premium Edition' of Biohazard 6 for the Japanese Playstation 3 which includes the following items in addition to the game software:

» Leon Kennedy leather jacket (Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large)
» e-Capcom Resident Evil 6 Tablet Covers (Set of four - Chris, Jake, Leon, Secret)

   Given the price of the premium edition at JPY105,000 (US$1301.433), the jacket might be made of buttery soft, full-grain Nappa leather which reflects the sun like a spit-shined hubcap. A vulgar Versace Nappa leather jacket is about $2800 while a slightly more sensible Brioni Nappa leather jacket runs roughly US$5800 so one way to think about the Biohazard 6 jacket is that it's a bargain and likely more exclusive. Or something like that. NCS' pricing is US$1720 which reflects the arrangements to purchase the jacket on e-Capcom and onerous handling and shipping charges from overseas. Please note that NCS will ship this item to customers in a heavy-duty garment box to avoid any potential damage during transit. Reservations ship on October 4, 2012.

Please refer to the size of the jackets below:

Small
■ Length: 61cm or 24.01" (Collar to hem)

TOYS Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Jaycee 1/7 Scale Bishoujo Statue - Import Preorder

From the Manufacturer
    A Kotobukiya Japanese import! The hit new line of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 bishoujo statues continues!

    With its thrilling martial arts action, the Tekken series of video games from Namco has been a huge hit with players since the original arcade game in 1994. In the games, fighters compete in the King of Iron Fist tournament for control of the Mishima Zaibatsu Corporation, using their unique talents against their opponents.

    Next up after Christie, Alisa, and Asuka is the mysterious luchador fighter Jaycee! Also known as the “Wandering Fighter,” the masked contestant Julia Chang from Arizona is presented here based on a new interpretation of the character by master Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita. With her intricate and unique outfit, Jaycee presents a powerful image as she stands with her back to you, checking you out over her shoulder with a knowing grin. The masked fighter looks great in her mini lingerie-like bodysuit with thigh high boots and long gloves, and the color scheme of pink and white with pale blue highlights only emphasizes her hotness.

    Jaycee stands on her tip toes, stretching her legs and further emphasizing her amazing physique. A fringe of feathers surrounds her shoulders while a plumed wrestling-style mask (that still lets her hair flow behind her in two long tendrils) hides her identity in the competition. You can even display her as the mysterious Jaycee or as Julia Chang with an included interchangeable unmasked head! Standing slightly over 8 inches tall (1/7 scale) on a special display base, Jaycee was sculpted by Busujimax (Takaboku Busujima) with special attention to her intricate costume and hair. The masked fighter is a fantastic addition to your Tekken Tag Tournament 2 bishoujo statue collection!
 
    Preorders are welcome to ship in March 2013 at JPY6800 or US$68.90 from NCS.
