GC Super Mario Stadium... JPN
 GC Super Mario Stadium Miracle Baseball - PARTIAL SHIPMENT
   Mario and a crew of over 50 friends and foes work their magic in another extension of their gaming abilities. After conquering Kart racing, Tennis, Golf, Pinball, and other vocations, it's time for baseball. As is rote with any Mario game, the characters all have special innate abilities to help their hitting and pitching capabilities. It's not all straight dirt diamond fun however as the Challenge Mode offers a bevy of baseball related mini-games while the Toy Field mode gives batters a chance to belt pitches at targets.
 
 

NDS Rockman EXE5 DS JPN
 NDS Rockman EXE5 DS: Twin Leaders - New Import
   Twin Leaders is a stylus enhanced version of Rockman EXE5 Team of Blues and Team of Colonel. Since the two games are now on a single cartridge, Navis may be traded between the two games. The story starts off as the Dark Chip Syndicate regroups under the new title of Nebula and starts wreaking havoc on the net once again. Using a powerful Navi ally, Rockman battles viruses and merges with allies in the soul unison feature of the game. The NDS version of the game also allows for more efficient gameplay where the PET display is shown on the bottom DS screen like an actual device to poke and twiddle with. During battle, the NDS microphone may be utilized where shouting into it can potentially turn the tide of battle.
 
 

NDS Yugioh Duel Monsters JPN
 NDS Yugioh Duel Monsters Nightmare Troubadour - New Import
   Yugioh card dueling tactics reaches the Nintendo DS where the bottom screen is used for draw, summon, and activation controls while the top screen shows off the action as cards and monsters set in motion. When a battle starts, two cards and their respective monsters stand side by side and an animation shows who conquers and who is vanquished. The action is time sensitive in that different events occurs depending on the time of day that one plays the game. The game includes over 1000 Yugioh cards including recent releases from Japanese booster packs. Since the Nintendo DS is a social gaming system, fellow Yugioh players may link up wirelessly for card trading and dueling challenges. Three bonus cards are inside each copy.
 
 

PSP Star Soldier JPN
 PSP Star Soldier - New Import
 Grab your PSP with both hands and rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise. Next, with your left hand firmly grasping the PSP, use your right hand to insert the Star Soldier UMD into the unit. Wait a few seconds and Hudson's remake of Star Soldier soon glimmers on the screen in vertical aspect glory.
   At home, one might have trouble rotating a 300 lb WEGA on its side to play a vertical shooter in the aspect that it was designed for. Failing manual tv rotation, one would have to be content with a squat screen bound by black borders on the sides. On the PSP, there are no such restrictions although the shots are a bit clumsy to fire off. Shoot, dodge, bob, and weave through armies of enemy flyers and their bullets. Once the minor foes are dispatched, deal with end level bosses who put up more of a fire fight.  
 
 

PS2 K1 World Max JPN
 PS2 K1 World Max 2005 - New Import
   Just in time for the K-1 World Max 2005 Championship final which took place in Japan earlier today at Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa Japan, 21 K1 World fighters compete for the top title on the PS2. Participants include Masato and Yamamoto "Kid" Norifumi from Japan, Albert Kraus from Holland, Buakaw Por Pramuk of Thailand, and many more. D3 motion captured the fighters for realistic motion although the hit detection in the game could use a little more tweaking.
   In addition to the professional fighters, players may create a custom combatant in the "K1 Max Road" mode and select a fighting style such as boxing, karate, kick boxing, or muay thai. Once a style is selected, players may also customize the body type, face, hair, and even costume if applicable. Practice the fighting in local gyms, select the diet regimen, and train to top physical conditioning. As the fighter hones his routine, new fighting techniques may be learned and added to his repertoire. Once primed and ready for the ring, bout in small venues and eventually graduate to big leagues tournaments in a bid to become world champion against true to life K1 fighters. Other game modes include Battlestart where one faces off against all 21 K1 fighters, Super Fight, and Practice.
