 PSP Grand Knights History - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Three countries on the continent of Rystia have gone to war and a team of mercenary knights enters the fray on the side of any one nation. Protected by mountains, the nation of Logress is led by King Faisal while the kingdom of Union and its legion of knights are controlled by the young King Leon and his Queen. Avalon is ensconced deep in the forest where the flamboyant Queen Muse calls her sorcerers and magic users to arms.... er, wands.

   The protagonist and his knights lead the charge in exploratory sequences and battles which are viewed on a 2D plane. Weapons include swords, hammers, bows, firearms, and staffs which fire off eldritch magic. When creating new knight characters, players can choose the gender, appearance, and even the type of voice for each protagonist. The game supports network play for multi-player engagements. The game was developed by Vanillaware of Oboro Muramasa and OdinSphere fame. A Grand Knights History online comic may be viewed on Marvelous' site.

 3DS Devil Survivor Over Clock - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Tokyo has been marked for annihilation in 7 days time and that level of carnage really can't come to pass. To stop the impending destruction, a heroic lad who's still in high school makes a deal with an assemblage of demons to bring Tokyo back from the brink.
   Players control a to-be-named protagonist who's equipped with a special portable gadget (which naturally looks like an NDS) that allows him to recruit demons into his party. By using the power of demons under their control, the party fights malevolent devils and their overlords. Human cohorts in the game include Atsuro Kihara and Yuzu Tani who are fellow students and friends of the protagonist. Battles are fought in turn-based fashion on isometric arenas where actions such as MOVE, ATTACK, and MAGIC are selected from a simple menu. The 3DS upgrade of the game features full voice acting (20,000 words), updated visuals, an easy mode for beginners, and a new "eighth day" chapter for fans of the original game to explore.

 TOYS Portrait of Pirates One Piece Neo DX Bartholomew Kuma

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»  
Bartholomew Kuma is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea aka Shichibukai and he carries a bounty of 296,000,000 on his head. Kuma's a big burly bear of a man and he carries a Bible with him like an evangelist of sorts except he doesn't do much preaching. Kuma was originally ordered to destroy the Straw Hat Pirates but decides against it, bargaining to only take Luffy's life but Zoro offers his own life in place of Luffy. Kuma agrees but after doing the deed, he doesn't confirm Zoro's death...

   Bartholomew wears a black shiny jacket with a white symbol on the front - it could be a representation of the crosshair of a gun or perhaps an improvised ship's steering wheel. Kuma's hat bears a pair of mouse ears which make him appear like a Disney Mouseketeer. Repeat: Mouseketeer.

   Megahouse's rendition of Bartholomew Kuma is sculpted to 1/8 scale and measures 33cm or 13" tall so he towers above the other members of the Portrait of Pirates figures that have been released thus far. Kuma comes with an extra pair of hands, a replacement face, and his trusty Bible. New orders are welcome to ship today.

 TOYS Portrait of Pirates One Piece Portgas D. Ace  

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The "Strong World" rendition of Portgas D. Ace decks the foster brother of Luffy D. Monkey in a shiny and swishy leather jacket with matching leather pants. Portgas normally runs around shirtless like Matthew Mcconaughey but he gets on some garb in the Strong World movie to match the Straw Hat Pirates who are in matching leather duds. To add to the leather ensemble, Portgas' waist is adorned with a studded leather belt.

   Portgas's Strong World figure includes a total of three firearms - two rifles which may be hefted in his hands and a pistol that's slotted into a holster attached to his left leg. Two flames are affixed to Portgas' hands, one which billows upwards from two fingers on his right hand and a larger flame which emanates from the palm of his left hand. All preorders for the Portgas figure have shipped already and new orders are welcome to ship this afternoon.

 TOYS Portrait of Pirates One Piece Neo DX Vista

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The barrel-chested Vista is a mustachioed muscle man with a penchant for swordplay. In one battle against Dracule Mihawk, the two decided to call a truce after they discovered that they were evenly matched after exchanging a few sword strokes and otherworldly slashes.

   The Portrait of Pirates rendition of Vista is stocky and powerfully built which befits Vista's animated persona. His outfit is of the superhero-ish caliber with a billowing cape and a shirt which is opened at the chest to show the world his pectorals and hirsute nature. A pair of cutlasses with semi-circular handles is included with the figure which are sheathed into scabbards that are fixed to his sides. Vista's arms are pointed downwards so he won't be wielding any sabers in this incarnation. Preorders for the Vista figure have shipped already and new orders are welcome.

PSP Kidou Senshi Gundam Shin Ghiren no Yabou - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Originally released on the Sega Saturn console in April 1998, Bandai reissues
Kidou Senshi Gundam: Ghiren no Yabou for the PSP but since the game's been upgraded, the word "Shin" is inserted between "Gundam" and "Ghiren" in the title. In the original Saturn release, the only option for playing the game was on the side of the Principality of Zeon but the PSP version allows gamers to play on the side of the Earth Federation or the Zeon.

Once the action kicks off, the scenarios are taken from the Gundam mythos - for example, the Zeon storyline starts off in space where the Principality is short on cash and resources but they're overloaded with skilled Zaku pilots. An invasion of Earth is about to take place which will replenish the Zaku coffers and allow them to amass resources with which to build up their forces. Players engage in tactical theaters of conflict where mech forces battle each other in turn-based skirmishes. When an encounter kicks off, attacks are shown in short animated sequences where the two sides fire upon each other and take damage.

   New features in the Playstation Portable update include new maps, a friendlier unit movement system, and the ability to play pilot-character scenarios for Amuro Ray, Char, Dozle, and more. Although players can take control of the entire side as an omnipresent commander, the option to play as a lowly pilot of squadron commander is also available.
