NDS Kawaii Koinu DS JPN
 NDS Kawaii Koinu DS - New Import, In Stock
«©NCSX» Kawaii Koinu first appeared on the Gameboy Advance in 2002 and MTO evolves the brand to the touch screen of the NDS. The game allows players to interact with puppy versions of man's best friends and 18 breeds are featured such as Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Golden Retriever, Miniature Dachshund, Toy Poodle, and French Bulldog.
   The gamer's onscreen actor shares the universe of Kawaii Koinu with his pooch and the two may be seen interacting on the upper NDS screen. Commands may be scribbled in kana on the touch screen and orders barked into the NDS microphone. To encourage the dog's loyalty to its owner, mini-games and exercises may be enjoyed as a sort of bonding ritual.

PS2 Neo Geo Stick v3.0 JPN
 PS2 Neo Geo Stick v3.0 - Preorder, Ships Dec 2006
«©NCSX» Retro games were the rage a few years back along with retro controllers such as the Gamecube Digital Controller. A few years back, SNK released a joystick styled after the old Neo Geo stick which appealed to fans of old gaming ergonomics/nostalgia/etc/whatever. For an encore, the company has announced a Neo Geo Stick v3.0 which differs from the earlier stick only in color scheme. Bright red buttons on top of a white base make the stick look festive. There's also a red hand fan imprint on the lower-right corner. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid December 2006 at US$78.
 
 

PS2 Royds Pad.Net JPN
 PS2 Royds Pad.Net - Preorder, Ships Nov 2006
«©NCSX» The word "Royds" has a negative connotation in the American vernacular but we're overlooking that. NCS focuses on the positives today with Try Electronics' upcoming Dual Shock Pad + Keyboard "all-in-one" controller. A USB cord on the Royds Pad.Net plugs into the USB port of the PS2 while a standard cord goes into a controller slot. Once connected, action games as well as online-games which require keyboard input may be controlled through a single controller. Preorders are welcome to ship on November 30, 2006.
 
 

PS3 Console JPN
 NEWS Playstation 3 Update
«©NCSX» Yesterday's update prompted a flurry of preorders and questions. Since there were so many of the same inquiries, here are some answers:

Why isn't NCS accepting preorders for the 60GB PS3?
   According to suppliers in Japan, the 60GB model will be scarce. To be assured that we'll receive the quantities that we need for the launch, they recommended that we submit preorders for the 20GB model which they can supply. Chances of importing the 60GB PS3 appear low at this time.

I thought the 20GB PS3 didn't include an HDMI port?
   Sony announced at the Tokyo Game Show that both 20GB and 60GB models will include the HDMI port. The only other difference other than the HDD size is the Wifi functionality out of the box and the MS/MMC reader.

Can a Japanese PS3 play USA PS3 games?
   Unlikely, but we won't be able to confirm PS3 region lockouts until we test a Japanese console with a USA game and vice versa. NCS is aware of the rumors of "region-free PS3" out there but we're dismissing them for now.
 
 

PS2 Konami Guitar ASC JPN
 PS2 Guitar Freaks Arcade Style Controller - Remainder In Stock
«©NCSX» After a shaky start and a couple of delays, Konami makes good on their Guitar ASC production for the home Bemani consumer. Cloning the design and quality of the actual guitar used in the arcade versions of Guitar Freaks, the ASC axe allows gamers to play the game with a solid and durable controller. The first batch of Konami's Guitar Freaks Arcade Style Controllers arrived on Monday and the rest of the controllers arrived earlier this morning.
   All remaining Guitar ASC preorders are shipping today and emails will be sent out by 2PM EST with an order confirmation and UPS tracking details. Shipment tracking will be activated after 8PM EST once the packages are scanned into the distribution hub.
   NCS ordered a surplus quantity of the guitars and we have a buffer quantity for new orders to ship this afternoon. Due to the large carton size for the Guitar ASC, NCS recommends only shipping by UPS Ground if you reside in the USA and normal USPS Airmail for our international customers. Pricing remains at US$289 + shipping.
