Final Fantasy I●II Advance

128 megabit cartridge

  GBA Final Fantasy I+II - New Import
   After stints on the Wonderswan Color and Playstation One, Square brings Final Fantasy I and II to the Gameboy Advance. One could call it a natural progression of events where age old classics are revived for revenue potential in every which possible avenue. Visually, the GBA version of FF I●II is most comparable to the Playstation incarnation with sharp graphics and rich sound.

 
 

Digimon Battle Chronicle

  GC Digimon Battle Chronicle - New Import
   The mighty Digimon reach all next-gen consoles (GC, PS2, XBX)  this week with a raucous 3-D battle action game where ~50 mighty monsters bop and attack each other like...Pokemon. Collecting monsters from four seasons of the Digimon television series, popular creatures and marquee names jump, scratch, blast, and set off special attacks in the game. Digimon Battle Chronicle may be likened to a Digi-monster version of Smash Bros. Successful monsters gain digi-points which may be used for evolution and transformation into more sophisticated and powerful beasts. Up to 4-players may join in the action at once or a single player may enjoy a fighting adventure where one battles through the ranks to meet and beat various bosses.
 
 

Rockman X Command Mission

  GC Rockman X Command Mission - New Import
   Some time in the far off future, a typical dystopia has emerged and it's up to Rockman and friends to set things right. Guide characters such as Rockman X, Axl, Zero, Spider, Massimo, Marino, and Cinnamon in a 3-D action-adventure where a maximum party of four leads a rebellion against an onerous empire. Battles are fought on 3-D battlefields where characters take turns attacking or the group may coordinate themselves and set off 30-hit combo-attacks which impart thousands of points of damage. Cel-shaded imagery casts Rockman and company in a new light. Battle actions are shown in full motion with each move, blast, and weapon attack depicted in exciting motion.
 
 

DJ Box

  PS2 DJ Box - New Import
   Armed with a mere Dual Shock 2 controller or the Eyetoy, players tackle the duties of a DJ whose job is to scratch, mix, and create musical harmony with two virtual turntables and a mixing board. Before performing feats of aural fusion however, one must connect the PS2 HDD (REQUIRED) and rip a few music CDs for tunes to mix, match beats, and scratch. The turntables are controlled by the Dual Shock analog thumbsticks while the mixing board's functions are mapped to various buttons. Once in control, the board offers a bevy of effects/options such as cross fade, pitch shift+bend, sound filters, and BPM count. Once a masterpiece has been created, it may be saved to HDD for posterity or for further manipulation if new inspiration arrives.

 
 

F Fanatic

  PS2 F Fanatic - New Import
   Mystery and adventure intertwine in Princess Soft's F Fanatic port from the PC, now available on the PS2. Step into the shoes of a writer in London circa 1888, at a time when Jack the Ripper terrorized the populace with grisly murders. The player joins up on an investigation of the killings while getting in the way of Scotland Yard and meeting up with women from all walks of life. A fortune teller named Lisa provides help in sleuthing the identity of the ripper while pickpocket Annie White provides streetwise accounts of events...
   NCS also stocks a limited edition which includes a bonus music CD which contains 41 tracks including the opening song, "The Silent Nightmares" as sung by Robin and the ending song, "I'm Standing" by Hiromi Sato.

 
 

Real Arcade Stick Pro

  PS2 Real Arcade Stick Pro - New Import
   Measuring a sizable 15 x 9 x 3" (412 x 243 x 135mm) and weighing in at 5.7 lbs (2600g), Hori's latest joystick covers one's lap and is constructed in sturdy fashion. Other joysticks may creak but this one's pretty solid and no amount of squeezing, shoving, and pushing could make it squeak. Even once. The buttons are laid out comfortably although we would have preferred a little more distance between the stick and the 2 rows of buttons. A set of switches located on the upper left corner of the stick toggle slow motion and offer two gradations of rapid fire to every button.
 
 

GTA Double Pack

  XBX Grand Theft Auto Double Pack - New Import
   The Grand Theft Auto games never sold well in Japan but the most recent releases on the PS2 did decent numbers. Perhaps encouraged by the spike in interest, Capcom goes fishing for more criminally minded gamers with the Xbox version of GTA Double Pack which bundles together Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Both games include individual silver slip cases which are shrinkwrapped together in one thick pack.

   Explore the unsavory underground in Liberty City and work your way up the ranks of the criminal element in GTA3. Vice City offers an alluring cityscape upon which to paint your criminal designs while evolving from penniless peon to burgeoning kingpin.
