PS3 Agarest Senki 2 - New Japanese Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the fictional world of Agarest Senki 2, the girls observe a ritual where they consume a banana in a unique and highly unusual manner. After removing the entire banana from its protective peel, two girls place the doomed banana in their mouths at the same time. This act of eating the banana tends to cause both girls to sweat profusely. The appropriate phrase here might be, "Eatin' ain't easy." Scientists have yet to figure out the reason for the strange banana custom but it's believed that they'll reach a conclusion sometime in the next century. One unnamed scientist cited the necessity for rigorous examination of double-mouth-eating-banana-ritual as one reason for the amount of resources being poured into the study.
   In a couple of months, gamers get welcome the world of Agarest Senki into their homes once more. That means banana-eaters, sexual innuendo, tactical battles, and video game procreation where up to three generations of heroes work their way through the adventure.
    All preorders will include a bonus illustrations booklet that's being given away in 1:1 ratio.

 PSP Criminal Girls - New Japanese Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Nippon Ichi's expanding their horizons but the company's keeping their sights on the underworld. Similar to Disgaea and Phantom Kingdom, the new Criminal Girls game takes place in the harsh environs of hell. Players take on the role of a supervisor and team-leader of sorts who's put in charge of seven "criminal" girls. These girls are garbed in prison fatigues with the stripes so you know they're naughty.

   Although the girls appear somewhat angelic, they're bad girls who belong in hell but there is hope for them. As steward of the girls, the protagonist leads them on a mission where they'll all attempt to scale a seven story tower to reach the top and attain eventual salvation. Between the first and seventh floor however, there'll be drama, spanking, compromising positions, and more RPG action than you can shake a stick at.

 Wii Tataite Hazumu: Smash Ball Plus - Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Wield the Wii Remote like a racquet and smack the protagonist Poko through colorful stages of block crushing action. At the outset of the game, rudimentary exercises teach players the ways and means of Remote whacking. What would we liken the play mechanics in Tataite Hazumu to so that simpletons can understand?

   Well, it's tempting to say Arkanoid since the game derives its theme from that earlier franchise which was in turn derived from Breakout. Then again, breaking blocks is the only thing that Tataite shares with Arkanoid since there's no paddle and Poko is a self-contained one-ball-army. He zooms through the air, spins like a top, and can charge up so that he destroys layers of blocks in a single swoop. All of Poko's movements are controlled by jerking the Remote with curt controller movements which send him careening into walls. Did we mention that the stages scroll from left to right? Yeah, they do. It's fun, simple, and somewhat engaging. All copies of
Tataite Hazumu are bundled with a bonus pink Wii Remote Controller Plus which is packaged with the game in a cardboard box.
