Space Invaders Game Bank - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Back in 2003, Taito celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Space Invaders by releasing a replica of the Space Invaders tabletop game which was really a controller container which held a Dual Shock 2. It was highly collectible and NCS eventually sold out after keeping original inventory for 6 years. Taito shipped a boatload of Space Invaders products last year to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the franchise. This year, the 31st Anniversary of Space Invaders doesn't have the same cachet but that's not stopping Taito from keeping the Invaders merchandising train rolling.

NCS will stock the Space Invaders Game Bank next week which is an official product from Takara Tomy. Players who insert a 100-yen coin in the coin slot will get to play a round of Space Invaders that's fairly faithful to the original from the sounds to the shields to the included color cellophane overlay. The game bank measures W200 x H105 x D95mm (7.87 x 4.13 x 3.74") in area and is listed as 1/6 scale on Takara's preorder sheet.

A 100-yen coin measures 2.26cm in diameter so the closest approximation that we have here in the USA is a nickel which spans 2.12cm. The nickel is slightly thicker at 1.95mm versus 1.75mm for the 100-yen coin but if there's an issue with coin thickness, we'll import a bag of 100-yen coins for our customers who purchase the game bank and include one with every order at no extra charge. We'll throw up a proper review and photos once we get a chance to check the bank out. Preorders are welcome to ship on March 26 at JPY5800 or US$70.90 from NCS.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Nintendo DSi - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» We're happy with our regular black Nintendo DSi that we use for game testing but we might be compelled to keep one of the Kingdom Hearts NDSi units as well... just because it looks so snazzy. The word "snazzy" doesn't get much play in NYC, so we'll try to use it again later this week. The top of the NDSi features hearts, crosses, crowns, and mouse ears in a repeating pattern that's somewhat Vuitton'esque. Square Enix opened up preorders last Friday for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts NDSi and reservations are welcome today from NCS. Pricing is set at JPY24,880 or US$265.90.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Organization XIII is full of Nobodies. Not just any average nobody that trudges or scurries across the Earth however. These Nobodies are a group of powerful beings who literally have no hearts and cause major problems for the Disney/Square heroes of Kingdom Hearts. In the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, producer Tetsuya Nomura tells the story of Roxas' work experience with Organization XIII and his eventual "self awakening" which leads him to quit the organization. A fourteenth Nobody named Xion will be introduced in 358/2 who's shown sitting with Roxas and Axel in on of the previews on Square's official site for the game.

Preorders are welcome to ship on May 30, 2009 at JPY5800 or US$60.90 from NCS.

Evangelion Movie Version Boxers Collection - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Reservations are welcome for a collection of six Evangelion Boxers that feature NERV, SEELE, and other designs that are apparently evocative of the Evangelion franchise.
