Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sacrifice - Import Preorder

From the Publisher [Preorders ship on February 13, 2009]
Currently under development by Romanian studio Beast, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sacrifice combines third-person and first-person gameplay to create an experience like nothing else on Nintendo DS. The stakes are high for players as they take on the role of Buffy to seal the re-opened Hellmouth in an original story penned by Rob Deshotel, a writer from the TV series.

This action-packed 3D survival horror game sees Buffy using a range of special weapons, powerful spells and martial arts to take out vicious vampires and demons. In addition to these enemies, players also come across recognizable characters from the show, including Spike, Angel, the Master, the First Evil, Caleb and, of course, the Scooby Gang.

Betty Boop Sexy Leg Dakimakura - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Roughly 6 years ago, someone at NCS befriended a stripper who had a thing for Betty Boop. Her apartment was filled with Betty Boop artwork, Betty Boop stickers, a Betty Boop vase, Betty Boop stickers, etc. Although she was a grown woman, she applied Betty Boop stickers to household objects that weren't already branded with Betty Boop. She even had a Betty Boop desktop clock where the leg would kick back and forth like a little pendulum. It was all Betty all the time.

NCS is assuming she'll raid our offices when the Betty Boop Sexy Leg Dakimakura (Body Pillow) arrives in May 2009. Japanese manufacturer Furyu will release two styles of the Sexy Leg Pillow which measure 70cm or 27.55" and feature a fishnet design. The Boopster's image may be seen on the leg along with a heart garter and her name in italics. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late May 2009 at US$48.90 each.

Dragon Quest IX Hoshizora no Mamoribito - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» A few Japanese distributors have started preorders for Dragon Quest IX but not to everyone. According to them, they're currently only offering the game to their high-volume customers since the release will apparently be in demand. NCS has been trading for a while now and we're generally jaded to such sales hype but then again this is Dragon Quest. Japanese fans are likely willing to camp out and wait on line for any DQ game by the hundreds of thousands so the hype might be warranted.

We know how many copies we'll be getting so we're opening up preorders today. NCS doesn't anticipate any shortages or supply issues but as they say in Brooklyn, "Ya Neva Know 'Til Ya Know." Preorders are welcome to ship on March 28, 2009 at JPY5980 or US$70.90 from NCS.

Fate/Stay Night Saber Gift Version - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Japanese manufacturer Gift teams up with Good Smile Company to release a visually striking Saber figure which is dressed in a poofy dress and shining armor. The visual contrast is basically the impression of hard metal on top and gossamer below. Satoshi Toda sculpted the Saber Gift figure to 1/8 scale which measures 18cm tall or 7.08" in height.

Upon opening up the package, Saber is encased in a plastic prison which keeps her secure. An extra Saber head which sports larger "anime-style" eyes is packaged with the figure - the default Saber head is painted with "normal-style" eyes that are more realistic. Saber's eyes are colored green and a sprig of blonde hair pokes out of the top of her head. The "sprig" hairstyle may also be seen on Naru Narusegawa of Love Hina fame and Kanu Unchou from Ikkitousen, among others. A mirrored base and Saber's sword are also included in the packaging. NCS' private Saber figure collection isn't as large as our Kanu Unchou collection but we think Saber will eventually catch up to Kanu in the number of figures released in Japan.
