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.
 

GC Bleach Mamieru JPN
 GC Bleach Koukon ni Mamieru Shinigami - New Import
   ©NCSX▪ Cel-shaded shinigami clash in whirling 3D action where 13 captains  and lieutenants face off against each other and supporting cast for a total of 22 combatants in the game. By mixing Soul Cutter sword blows with Kido (magic blasts), every fighter is a versatile one-man show. Pit two of them on screen at the same time for a bout and watch the fireworks explode. The action runs at a quick pace with snappy controls that guide obedient onscreen fighters to swing a sword, block, dodge, and link attacks in smooth chain-combo volleys. Ichigo Kurosaki, Abarai Renji, Byakuya Kuchiki, and the rest of the gang are present to showcase their skills. A Story Mode leads players through the individual stories of the various fighters while a 2P mode allows two friends to test their soul cutting skills on each other. 

   As a bonus for customers who submitted preorders, Sega included a sheet of decals which one may use to decorate both the Gamecube console and control pad with Bleach character artwork. When pasted on an indigo Gamecube, the stickers look a mess but we suppose Bleach fanatics will plaster them on anyway. The entire top, the front rim, and part of the sides of a GC may be covered while the stickers only cover the top of the joypad. 
 
 

NDS Bokujou Monogatari Girls JPN
 NDS Bokujou Monogatari: Korobokkle Station for Girls - New
   ©NCSX▪ Earlier this year, Marvelous banked serious coin by selling over 100,000 copies of the standard version of Korobokkle Station for the NDS. To reprise the banking performance, MMV ships a new "For Girls" version of the game just in time for the holiday season. Instead of a young lad serving as the protagonist, a blonde girl or a cute brunette takes up the duties of stylus-powered farmer - players may choose from either girl at the outset of the game. The adventure is built around the perspective of the girl so potential mates and marriage partners are boys. The action and interaction sequences on the upper screen while the lower screen serves as an interface with command buttons to point and tap at. The bottom screen is also the relay area for messages and conversations with town folk.
 

 

 

NDS Kouchuu Ouja Mushi King JPN
 NDS Kouchuu Ouja Mushi King: Greatest Champion - New
   ©NCSX▪ Based on the Sega coin-op beetle card fighting game and the recent animated cartoon, the NDS version of King of Beetle Mushi King features insect fighting action of simple design. When two beetles face off, a timer counts down and the player hits buttons in a rocks-scissors-paper challenge. Win with rock to your opponent's scissor and your beetle will get to inflict first blood. The battle continues until the life bar of either beetle reaches zero. Skill cards may be picked up throughout the game to enhance the battle performance of the beetle with special throw, smash, and hold moves. Although the NDS game is based on the Gameboy Advance version, Sega added new features to the game including stylus tapping functionality, a new scenario, and a new character to boot.
 
 

PS2 Ryu Ga Gotoku JPN
 PS2 Ryu Ga Gotoku - New Import / Partial Shipment
   Please note that only a partial early shipment of Ryu Ga Gotoku arrived today. The remainder should arrive by tomorrow or Thursday.
   ©NCSX▪ The seedy underbelly of the Kamurocho district fosters all breeds. The ones that stand out in Ryu Ga Gotoku however are the bad seeds; the Yakuza inspired gangsters and killers who use force and devious design to unhinge their fellow man. The protagonist in the adventure is a bruiser named Kazuma who went to prison and summarily broke out. As the game starts, Kazuma is standing in the middle of a neon lit street while throngs of night life seekers stroll and mill about. Accidentally bump into someone and witness his or her  stumbling motion and arm waving antics.

   Move Kazuma forward a bit and follow the fellow thug who wears a purple and gold shirt to a building. After entering the building, a cinema shows an encounter where a meek subject suddenly turns into a tiger wielding a golf club. This leads to the first battle of the game which is basically a training mission which teaches the various moves and combos that are available. Guide Kazuma and punch and power-punch the room of thugs and their golf club swinging boss. The fighting is a full-fledged 3D action game <more>
 
 

TOYS Transformers BTA-03 JPN
 TOYS Transformers Binaltech Asterisk BTA-03 - New Import
   ©NCSX▪ The third Transformers Binaltech Asterisk toy serves up a silver colored robot known as Broadblast (basically a repaint of Binaltech BT-16 Skids) who morphs from awkward looking robot to silver-colored Toyota bB. The girl figure included inside the package is named Lumina and she carries a notebook in her left hand while her right arm is locked in a 90˚ angle to heft up a video camera. Additional arms and legs are included in the package which may be swapped with the default arms and legs to allow Lumina to sit inside the car and put her hands on the steering wheel.
 
   When in vehicle mode, the Toyora bB's four doors may be opened, the hood popped, and the hatchback lifted up to allow air flow through the entire innards of the vehicle. Similar to yesterday's Transformers BT-16 (Skids), the Toyota bB is sized to 1/24 scale and is a faithful reproduction of the actual car which we know as the Scion xB in the United States. All preorders are shipping today and new orders are welcome.
 

 

 

Blizzard
 ETC General Updates

Blizzard, Interrupted
   We were expecting 6" of snow on the ground in NYC today, snarled road traffic, and flight delays all around. What we got were a few flurries overnight and chunks of snow remnants on the sidewalk this morning. All flights made it in this morning, traffic was no worse than normal, and it's business as usual.
Animal Crossing Wild World in stock
   All preorders for the USA Nintendo DS release of Animal Crossing will ship today. It's a highly addictive game. The rest of this week's USA releases are expected tomorrow and all preorders will ship once they arrive.
Imports Tomorrow
   The remainder of this week's new releases (PS2 Taiko no Tatsujin Happy Muyome, PS2 Rogue Galaxy, PSP Geki Sengoku Musou, GBA Summon Night Hajimari no Ishi) should all arrive by tomorrow morning. Since additional snowfall is not expected until Friday, there shouldn't be any delays with the rest of this week's new import deliveries.
