NEWS: New Wonderswan Colors  Product Preorder  
   Bandai held a vote recently, imploring Japanese fans to pick their favorite colors for new Wonderswan Crystal variants. Over a period of 11 days, Swan fans sent in over 5,000 votes voicing their color preferences from a selection of eight possible choices. After discarding the handful of hand-scrawled votes for Hot Fuchsia, Spongebob Yellow, and Goth Green, Bandai settled on the people's appreciation of such safe stalwarts as Crystal Blue (winner) and Crystal Black (runner up) for the next two Swan colors. Shipping on November 16, pricing is expected to hover around the US$80 level. Along with the new hues, Bandai will release two WSC games in December as follows:

Battle Spirits ~ Digimon Frontier 
Shipping on December 7, priced at Y4200 (NCS $43)

One Piece Treasure Wars 2 ~ Buggy Land Yohkoso
Shipping on December 20, priced at Y4500 (NCS $45)
 

 

 

NEWS: Assorted Updates 
   Inclement weather in the Northeast appears to have foiled inbound shipments. As such, restock items such as Panasonic Qubes, XRGB-2 Upscan converters, Spice Gamecube consoles, and GC D-Video cables are expected on Monday. New stock expected early next week include Gameboy Advance Chobits Bundle, XBX Jockey's Road, PS2 Off-Road Buggy, and the PS1 Gundam Fighting 2000 re-releases.

   New import pickings for next week are slim with only PS Wizardry Empire II, PS2 ICO [The Best] and Silent Scope 3 on our list. The only other PS2 title shipping next week, which we'll deftly dodge, is the Best Series re-release of Crash Bandicoot 4. 

   Due to recent inquiries and high demand for the Japanese PC release of Final Fantasy XI, which ships on November 7, NCS is checking with various PC suppliers in Japan for the game. Unfortunately, many have already closed preorders but we'll update accordingly if we hit paydirt.
