PLEASE READ: The NEW SHOP is separate and distinct from the OLD SHOP. If you place an order on the OLD SHOP, you will not be able to use the NEW SHOP to check on your order and vice versa. Unfortunately, we were not able to resolve the two shop databases in order to transfer customer histories and accounts. Both shops are fully operational and capable of taking orders.
 

Kengo 3

  PS2 Kengo 3 - New Import
   Wander the wilds of feudal Japan and belabor yourself to tasks and jobs set forth by erstwhile employers in need of help. As a traveling sword of sorts, players tackle various missions in Aizu, Osaka, and Satsuma. As your reputation and renown grows, higher level assignments will come your way.
   Some battles are fought one-on-one against legendary swordsman that are encountered along the way but battles against the rabble are common. When dueling man to man, players adopt a defensive stance and strike and slash with disciplined strokes while parrying oncoming blows. When it's time to fight crowds, the defensive stance is still adopted but the swings and smashes sway a little wilder as enemy agents take their turns attacking and retreating. 
 
 

Sakura Taisen V LE

  PS2 Sakura Taisen V Limited Edition - New Import
   Due to split arrivals, NCS will only be able to ship 1/2 of our preorders for Sakura Taisen V LE today. The remainder will ship on Monday morning when the rest of the cartons are delivered. Similar to how Konami handles their LE bundles, Sega has elected to ship every component of the Sakura V LE
separately. The bundle consists of the following items which we'll gather together and ship to the first half of our preorders today:

1) Sakura Taisen V Game DVD
2) Gemini Sunrise Beach Towel
3) Gemini Sunrise Poster
4) Sakura Taisen V glass mug
5) Gemini Sunrise toy figure

The posters will ship separately rolled in tubes to avoid folding.
