Preorder: Playstation 2 "The Best" and others

   Four high-profile PS2 titles see re-release on June 27: Kaze no Klonoa 2, Mosquito, Parappa the Rapper 2 and Shutoko Battle Zero. All titles are to be priced at Y3000 and NCS expects to set retail at US$30. 
   Publisher Syscom will re-release Crazy Bumps and Midnight Club at a lower price of Y2800 on July 11. Both racing games fared poorly in Japan and the re-issue is an odd scenario. However, it might be a tactic to re-package old stock and get on all of the "NEW" release lists to attract buyers. That's the ticket...but, we digress. 
   Finally, D3 Publisher have summer plans to ship three new Simple 2000 PS2 games on July 25. From the Honkaku Sikou Series, we look forward to The Mahjong which is exactly as it sounds. That's the good thing about D3's games - why bother with creative titles when you can just put the description in the name of the game. The other two releases are The Snowboard and The Boxing. A Playstation 1 game titled The Football is also scheduled for July 25. All The games will be priced at Y2000 or roughly US$23 from NCS.
