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.
 

PSP Taito Memories Pocket JPN
 PSP Taito Memories Pocket + Booklet - New Import / In Stock
©NCSX▪ Between 1980 and 1989, Taito produced a number of classic coin-op video games such as Qix and Rainbow Islands that gulped down buckets of quarters/yen/etc. Instead of blanketing every game in Taito Memories Pocket as a "classic", Taito avoids derision by calling the games "memories" instead. Both veritable classics and memories are gathered today in a PSP retro collection which culls code from the two earlier PS2 Taito Memories.

   In addition to the original aspect ratio for the games, players may toggle to a slightly elongated aspect ratio where the borders don't take up as much screen real estate. There's also full screen mode where borders are banished entirely and the game is stretched to fill up the entire screen. If a game was originally a horizontally oriented game, the full screen mode stretches it across the PSP screen. If the game was originally a vertically oriented game, players rotate the PSP 90˚ counter-clockwise to view the game in its original vertical orientation.
 
 

PS2 Duel Savior Destiny JPN
 PS2 Duel Savior Destiny - Belated Import / In Stock

   ©NCSX▪ School's out and Taiga rings up kid sister so the two can walk home together. After a short conversation, Taiga Toma and his younger half-sister Mia Toma meet up and are bantering on a normal city street when they spy an old tome on the side of the road. The book is colored red and seems to be old. Taiga puts his paws on the book and the world begins shifting and dissolving as the two siblings are blinked out of Earth and teleported into an alternate reality. Upon arriving at their destination, a woman with purple hair and a generous bosom greets the two and introduces them to a world where disputes are settled with  swordplay and side-scrolling hack 'n slash action. The siblings are inducted into the Messiah Training School <more>
 

 

 

PS2 Duel Savior Destiny LE JPN
 PS2 Duel Savior Destiny Messiah Box - Belated Import

   ©NCSX▪ The limited edition of Duel Savior Destiny includes two bonus items in addition to the game:

· Duel Savior Destiny Music CD
· Nanashi posable action figure w/ base

   The Nanashi figure measures approximately 6" tall and is a near perfect rendition of her video game incarnation. The pink bunny ears are affixed just right atop her aqua blue mane and her purple and blue outfit is carefully sculpted for a realistic drape. A loose webwork of bandages twirl around her limbs for mummy-like coverage. In the game, Nanashi attacks and slashes with a gold broadsword and it serves as her accompaniment in the packaged figure. All in all, Nanashi serves as a notable exclusive item in the DSD Messiah Box. All preorders will ship today. New orders are welcome.

PS2 Guitar Coin-op photo JPN
 ETC Guitar Freaks ASC - Shipping on May 26, 2006

©NCSX▪ Last night, Konami gave the green light for the production of the ASC Guitar for use with Guitar Freaks games. Although the final specs of the guitar are not available for perusal yet, the company's website specifies that it will be modeled closely after the guitar used in the coin-op GF machines. If previous Konami ASCs are any indication, the guitar will be another example of excellent craftsmanship and quality. Strum and jam vigorously without fear of bending the neck, busting the frets, or damaging the tuning pegs. Pricing is set at Y21,000 which is roughly US$200 but based on information from our vendor in Japan, the shipping cost per unit from Japan to the US will be approximately US$80 since each guitar will ship in its own individual cardboard container from the factory.

   NCS submitted a preorder a few months ago with our target quantity to contribute to the numbers but now that the production will proceed, we're opening preorders for our own customers today. We'll be bringing in 100 units if our preorder isn't cut by konamistyle.com. Pricing is set at US$289 per Guitar ASC.

   Due to the size and weight of each controller, we would recommend only shipping with UPS Ground to customers within the United States and USPS Airmail Parcel Post for customers outside of the USA. Please note that dimensional weight of 18 lbs applies for this product due to the size of each guitar container and any type of air service will be costly.
