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.
 
PS2 SS Tenkaichi: Iroha JPN
PS2 Spectral VS Generation JPN
 NEWS General Updates
"Not Enough Room"
   That was the explanation as to why today's scheduled import shipments didn't arrive as expected. There wasn't enough space on the jet plane for our cargo. Thanks. Due to the apparent lack of logistics planning, all of this week's new imports are now expected to arrive tomorrow. Please note that all preorders for Bleach DS will ship on Thursday including any orders that are submitted today.
Iroha Figure
   All preorders for PS2 Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuten submitted before ~12:00PM EST today will include the bonus Iroha trading figure as shown to the left. We may have a small Iroha buffer for new orders when the game arrives tomorrow morning. 
Spectral VS. Generation pcb / PS2
   Since the Spectral VS game was recently opened up for preorder on the PS2, coin-op suppliers in Japan have caught wind and are peddling used Spectral VS. Generation boards for Y36,000 or US$390 shipped from NCS. Orders are welcome by email request.
   A good amount of Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Atomiswave cartridges were also listed last night to coincide with the PS2 release for Y100,000 or  US$950 each from NCS. Prices for both games should drop further in the months ahead but an example of a pcboard keeping its lofty premium despite a PS2 conversion is Mushihimesama, which still costs an average of Y118,000 or roughly US$1018.
Email Glitch
   We experienced a glitch yesterday morning where a chunk of mail may have been corrupted and subsequently lost into the digital ether. If you haven't received a reply to a message sent between Monday evening and Tuesday morning, please resend it.
