Many years ago, Wylfred's father Thyodor was killed on the battlefield and his soul was taken by Lenneth so he could become an Einherjar.

NDS Code Geass: Hangyaku JPN

New Import: US$48.90/ea

Jan Code: 4582224492275

 NDS Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 - New, In Stock

«©NCSX» The cast members of Code Geass generally find themselves in somber situations fitting of the oppressive scenario presented in the manga and anime. In Bandai's latest Geass game, Lelouch Lamperouge, Karen Stadtfeld, C.C., and the rest of the gang relax and perhaps laugh with collection of simple mini-games.
   Soon after starting the Story Mode, Lelouch appears and proceeds to play a game of Othello against you. The computer's technique isn't sophisticated and is fairly easy to beat. Afterwards, the protagonist appears on a board game where certain spaces that he lands upon will trigger mini-games such as swimming, pizza shooting, quizzing, and more. There's also a whack-a-mole game, a side scrolling shooter that's not bad, and a platform action game to boot.

NDS Charge Stand DS Lite JPN

New Import: US$20.90/ea

Jan Code: 4961818008014

 NDS Charge Stand DS Lite - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» When NCS recharges our fleet of Nintendo DS Lite units, we generally just toss them onto a table with the power plugs hanging from the back. Done. We didn't know there was a better way until we received Hori's Charge Stand DS Lite which mounts the DS in an artful manner on a block of white or black plastic. 
   Is the Charge Stand something that's necessary? Nope. No one really needs it since all it does is add a layer between the power supply and the Nintendo DS Lite. What the stand does however is provide an aesthetic way to charge your Nintendo DS. The stand is angled so that the NDS is mounted in an attractive way. 
 
 

PS2 Ikkitousen Shining JPN

New Import: US$30.90/ea

Jan Code: 4535506301123

 PS2 Ikkitousen Shining Dragon [The Best] - New, In Stock

«©NCSX» Rival schools are at war and only short-skirted students with strength, determination, and large bosoms can rise above the ranks to reach the mantle of Ikki Tousen which translates into one knight who is worthy of 1000 knights. Built as a 3D fighting game, Shining Dragon pits players against a cast of 10 fighters which include Hakufu Sonsaku, Ryomou Shimei, Ryofu Housen, Kakouen Myosai, and Kanu Unchou. A new character named Chosen (Cicada) is also featured in the game who's a buxom blonde with red eyes, a snappy demeanor, and a blue dress.

   The STORY MODE allows players to choose one character and live through her battlefield tribulations against the backdrop of original stories that were written exclusively for the game. The MISSION MODE features 50 stages of targeted objectives which mixes up the action. To add to the authenticity of the game, the voice actresses from the animation were hired to provide the utterances and battle cries of the combatants. When fighting, the clothes of the girls may be shredded just like they are in the animation series. There's no outright nudity but skin is exposed that otherwise wouldn't get exposed. For example, when a girl's shirt is split near the bosom area, stringy threads will still keep it together.
