  New Imports - Shipping TODAY

Japan
   All of the following items are in stock and shipping to preorders today. We tested XBX Soul Calibur 2 on a chip-modified Xbox console and the game boots, loads, plays fine. We had some fears that the Xbox port would suffer somewhat in the conversion but Namco did an excellent job on all three ports. The first limited edition of Pia Welcome to Carrot 3 ships in a clear DVD case.

   While supplies last, random orders will include the following bits of schwag we received from our vendors in Japan:

Xbox Soul Calibur 2 - A nicely packaged set of three "dog-tag" keychains with different swords on them and a keychain strap. We'll post photos on Monday.

WSC Naruto - A Swan Crystal Naruto screen overlay and a blue cloth banner. At first we thought they were a pair of shorts since summer's around the corner.

PS2 Aiyori Aoshi - Our restock shipment of the limited edition of this game included a couple of blue wall clocks packaged in cardboard boxes. These were not included in our original shipment of the game which arrived last week. Weird.

  DC King of Fighters 2002

Preorder
   The Dreamcast shows Neo-Geo-esque staying power and vitality by attracting yet another "Mother of All Fighting Games" to its esteemed library. As long as DC games sell decent numbers in Japan, Playmore will continue to support the console with the latest games from the Neo. Perhaps we can hope for Matrimelee on Dreamcast one of these days. Please note that Playmore has listed retail pricing for the latest KOF game at Y6800 whereas earlier Dreamcast KOFs were priced a Y5800. As such, NCS has set pricing at US$60 instead of the US$53 on previous Dreamcast KOFs. Preorders for DC King of Fighters 2002 will ship on June 18, 2003.
