NEWS General Updates

Import Shipments    PSP Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection and 3DS Gundam the 3D Battle have shipped from Japan but due to the later than normal dispatch, NCS expects this week's new import shipments to arrive on Monday of next week. Preorders will ship upon arrival.

Eschatos    There's no new ship date for Eschatos yet and the official site only mentions that the game's been delayed due to the earthquake. The game is region-free and playable on North American Xbox 360 consoles.

Japan    Business seems to be slowly going back to normal but employees at our distribution companies based in Tokyo are still wary of contamination of water and food. Even though the Japanese government recently stated that radioactive iodine in the water supply was at "acceptable levels," they're continuing to distribute bottled water.

Import Delays    The following Japanese imports have been confirmed to be delayed due to the recent events in Japan. Our suppliers in Japan are also not working at optimal capacity because of what's happening in Fukushima and the attendant contamination.

PSP Gungnir Mayari no Gunshin to Eiyuu Sensou - Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Sting's upcoming Gungnir game bears a passing resemblance to Yggdra Union, probably because the same creative team is working on the game. In Gungnir, players take on the role of a lad named Julio Ragwell who's a member of a rebel group known as the Esperanza. Together with his cohorts, Julio fights against the ruling powers in an effort to bring about some semblance of equality. Julio wields a powerful weapon called the "Gungnir" which is an elaborate lance which apparently holds the power of Ares. The game fits into the S-RPG genre where exploration and battles take place on an isometric-projected game world. The game systems include a "Tactics Gauge" which allows heroes in the game to perform a number of actions and special moves.

   Preorders for the Japanese PSP import Gungnir Mayari no Gunshin are welcome to ship on May 19, 2011 at JPY5800 or US$69.90 from NCS.
