X360 Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets - Japanese Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The heroines in Muchi Muchi Pork are portly and Rubenesque in physique but that shouldn't deter anyone from enjoying Cave's vertical shooter which was originally released in the Spring of 2007. Brightly hued and filled with pastel luminescence, MMP was a highly sought-after kit amongst the Japanese coin-op collecting community. That collecting-fever will probably change when Cave releases the home conversion of the game on the Xbox 360 next year. Along with MMP, Cave's also bundling Pink Sweets on the DVD which is related to Ibara.

   In Pink Sweets, Mother Theresa, the sixth Guardian in Ibara, did not die. Neither did any of the Rose sisters. We know this because they're back in Cave's Pink Sweet's where they've shifted from the dark side to the light. Players get to pilot the gals and use a barrier/shot system to defeat flitting enemies as well as end level bosses of the pastel-colored type. The first boss looks like a tinker toy version of Robby the Robot from the Forbidden Planet. During the game, the gals yelp and intonate various sayings to steel themselves for battle... NCS is accepting reservations for a regular edition of the two-pack at JPY6800 or US$80.90 and a limited edition which is packed with a bonus DLC to unlock the Cave Festival version of Pink Sweets and a 2-CD Sountrack for Muchi Muchi Pork and Pink Sweets.

TOYS Mario & Yoshi Mascot Plush Toy - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Some guys roll into town on a sweet 1970s station wagon with authentic wood paneling on the side. Can you say "vintage?" Other guys go to town on a horse. Y'know, those animals with four legs that whinny and can split a man's head open with one kick. Then there's Mario.

   Mario rides on a beast named Yoshi. Keep in mind that Mario weighs at least 250 lbs before lunch so Yoshi's carrying a real heavy load. If the visual of Mario upon Yoshi isn't materializing in your mind, Japanese manufacturer Sanei's getting you clued in this week. The Mario + Yoshi plush measures approximately 12" tall and the two heroes are sewn together so they're inseparable. We didn't look underneath Mario but he might be able to be separated from Yoshi if you snip a few threads but that's up to you. Since Mario weighs a lot, the Mario & Yoshi plush can't stand up by itself but you can prop it up against something to keep them upright.
