 NDS Gouma Reifu Den Izuna Ni - New Import, Restock Soon
«©NCSX» Izuna is a pink-haired ninja who's role has been reduced in the brave new world of Japan where demons and gods have become less relevant. In the first Gouma Reifu Den Izuna game released last year, Izuna offended the gods and both ninjas and deities quickly became relevant once again.
   The sequel features the same dungeon action-adventure of yesteryear but everything's bigger from the assortment of over 180 monsters to the myriad items that may be found when exploring the world. New villages may also be visited as Izuna fulfills her appointed missions and tackles quests. Izuna can also learn new ninja techniques by meeting conditions.

 NDS Kabushiki Baibai Trainer Next! - New Import, In Stock
«©NCSX» The stock market is a minefield. Even though there are only two directions for every trade, countless accounts blow up every year because of bets gone bad. To help traders learn a little about trading trends and interpreting patterns, Konami releases a candlestick charting software program which teaches the basics of reading a stock chart. Maybe it'll help some traders avoid blowing their accounts into bits with reckless wagers such as shorting FXI at the lows in February 2007.
   The software includes 5 years of price data on TSE issues along with economic news from back in the day so that trends may be spotted and compared against a bevy of financial news stories.

PS2 A.C.E. Special Vocal Ver. JPN

New Import: US$39.00 each
 PS2 A.C.E. 2 Special Vocal Version - New Import, In Stock
«©NCSX» ACE 2 thrilled mech-handlers last year (March 30, 06) with fast-paced action featuring 180 robots from 15 popular animation series including Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, Martian Successor Nadesico, SDF Macross, and more. Sales were brisk and the sell-out was unavoidable.
   Since Banpresto never released a "The Best" version of A.C.E.2, they make up for the transgression by revamping the original game with 10 vocals-infused animation theme songs. The battles are fast paced where a mech speeds on battlefields and targets enemy ranks for destruction. An auto-targeting feature (press TRIANGLE) may be used to lock onto an enemy unit and if you're close enough, a melee attack may be performed to smash it. However, if it's a formidable mech and not a peon, it will parry your blow and the two swords will sizzle in a close-up struggle for supremacy. Far away foes may be locked on and then fired upon with an arsenal of projectile weapons. There was one point during this morning's trial where our play tester sped towards a group of enemies and as they appeared in the horizon, he selected the missiles and launched two of them at the crowd. The projectiles weaved towards the targets with vapor trails streaming as the player's mech continued roaring towards the foes.

PS2 Matching Maker 2 JPN

New Import: US$25.00 each
 PS2 Simple 2000 #121 The Matching Maker 2 - New, In Stock
«©NCSX» Urban development is hard work. The construction of an entire city requires forethought, careful consideration of the layout, and perseverance. Once a city is humming, it's even harder to keep the citizenry happy and content with their surroundings and municipal amenities. To give gamers a taste of what it takes to build a city, D3 Publisher releases Matching Maker 2.1 which is nearly identical to the first game. The action starts in a grassy expanse where the first task is to lay down the pavement and watch as street lights are automatically built and light up by themselves. Once completed, it's time to to drop buildings which are constructed right before your eyes by invisible workmen.
   The game follows the natural progression of time where day turns into night and dusk eventually gives way to dawn. As the town grows up, the population slowly rises and buildings and businesses such as book stores, restaurants, fish mongers, vegetable stands, and other shops may be raised to keep the populace in good standing. New buildings that may be built in Matching Maker 2.1 include a multi-story pagoda, religious shrines, animal stables, an actual castle, and even old school residences for samurai. Beaches and special cafes round out the lay of the land. 
 
 

PSP Makai Senki Disgaea JPN

New Import: US$29.00 each
 PSP Makai Senki Disgaea Portable + Bonus - New, In Stock
«©NCSX» Borne from the fiery loins of the devil, the main character of Makai Senki Disgaea is literally a lil' devil. When old Beezlebub croaks, the path of ascension to the throne is unclear and Satan's spawn Laharl must prove himself by taking on all ambitious rivals and pretenders to the throne.
   Similar in design to games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle and Hoshigami, characters battle enemies in 3-D isometric tactical theaters. Battles are turn-based where movement and attacks are selected from a menu. Conventional weaponry as well as magical spells may be used in the course of war and two comrades watch your back - a wispy devil girl named Etna (complete with forked tail) and a team of demon penguins known as Prinny join your party at the outset of the game. Additional soldiers and fighters may be created with Nippon Ichi's Free Character Creation System.

   At the outset of the game, Etna bellows out in a loud voice to rouse Laharl who's sleeping soundly. After a short conversation, Laharl is free to explore Satan's lair which is populated with handlers of the demonic kind. Afterwards, Laharl ventures out into the world where the first encounter pits Laharl's party against cloaked enemies. Etna's Prinnies are in force even though she has to slap and even shoot one of them to make them behave. The PSP conversion of Disgaea includes a secret scenario and a multiplayer (ad hoc) mini-games such as Capture the Flag.
 
 

X360 Guilty Gear 2 Overture JPN

New Import: US$65.00 each
 X360 Guilty Gear 2 Overture - New Import, In Stock
«©NCSX» Microsoft sells about 3,000 Xbox 360 consoles every week in Japan. The installed base currently sits at about half a million units. Those numbers don't inspire many publishers to produce games exclusively for the console but Blue Dragon (naturally), Trusty Bell, and Ace Combat 6 were exclusives which helped sell consoles. Guilty Gear 2 Overture is another one that should help move a decent amount of hardware.

   Overture decouples from Arc System's 2D fighting game model and fits into the 3D action-adventure genre... with a real time tactical-strategy element. Players take control of Sol Badguy, Valentine, Izuna, or another character and use a full arsenal of Guilty Gear moves such as the Aerial Dash, Blast Drive, Gatling Combination, Roman Cancel, Psych Burst, and Dust Attack. When fighting against a crowd of enemies, the action is somewhat reminiscent of the Sangoku Musou series but with a lot of blood which splashes out with every slash. The enemy grunts don't offer much resistance however and generally stand around waiting for death. The strategy segment of the game gives the hero control over troops which are marshaled into war against opposing forces.
 

 

 

PS2 Naruto Gekitou EX2 JPN

New Import: US$65.00 each
 Wii Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX2 - New Import, In Stock
«©NCSX» Eighting developed the latest Naruto fighting game for Takara Tomy and their high level of craftsmanship continues to distinguish the company from the rabble. For our play test this morning, NCS started with the Story Mode which begins with Gaara looking up into the night sky while the prologue scrolls. A member of the Akatsuki named Deidara is flying in on a white bird for the first match.
   Naruto GNT EX2 is a 2D fighting game with sidestepping moves. It looks 3D but it's pseudo-3D since there is no lateral movement. You can only move left and right with the nunchuk's analog pad. Gaara's moves include a sand projectile and a sand explosion which erupts around himself to knock opponents nearby off their feet. His other move is an impressive sand wave which washes across the stage and wallops an enemy with tidal force. To jump, push up on the analog stick. Double jumps are possible by pushing up again while in mid-air.
   Primary attacks are thrown out by swinging the Wiimote while secondary attacks are activated by the "A" button. To use Naruto's Sharingan, the Wiimote and Nunchuk are rotated in a circular motion towards each other and then shaken to make the game's controls an energetic affair.
