NDS Last Bullet JPN

New Import: US$53.90

SKU/JAN: 4562240236015
 NDS Last Bullet - New Import, Restock Soon
«©NCSX» Hibiki Karin isn't your average sniper. She doesn't wear fatigues, eye paint, or peer into an unnaturally large scope. Hibiki is a seemingly normal girl who attends Aoba University but she's been pushed into the sniping life by circumstances beyond her control. As if to accentuate how much of a normal girl Hibiki is, the first shooting exercise in the game is of the carnival variety where toy prizes including a teddy bear are shot at with a toy rifle. Hibiki's handler is a bespectacled man named Tsukasa Sakuma who gives her missions and objectives to accomplish. In the first proper mission, Hibiki's target is an enemy operative's weapon which he holds upright in front of his face. If Hibiki fires and hits the operative instead, it's a failed mission. We found that moving the scope ahead and waiting for the operative to come into view before shooting resulted in an S ranking for destroying the hapless agent's weapon.
 
 

NDS Dan-Dun Dungeons JPN

New Import: US$53.90

SKU/JAN: 4544626000786
 NDS Dun-Dam: Dungeons & Dam - New Import, In Stock
«©NCSX» A blade-wielding brunette named Shion and a ginger known as Vier are part of a vanguard force who destroys robots and monsters with weapons and water. They control a cylindrical dam which is capable of pouring out streams of rushing water which washes away monsters who are burrowing in the tunnels below. These creatures are invading the overworld but that can't be allowed to continue. By opening the spigot at opportune moments, the party has an unstoppable force at their disposal to rid the world of invaders. At the outset of the game, the player's party performs sentry duties on three locations to protect the city walls from attacks. Close combat is used in the beginning since the dam isn't ready yet. After each successful stint, a character interaction sequence opens up which relays some background information and moves the story along.
 
 

PS3 Demon's Souls ASN

Recent Import: US$63.90

SKU/JAN: 4948872960717
 NEWS General Updates 

NEWS Demon's Souls (Asian Version) Update
   We're filling backorders for Demon's Souls tomorrow according to the time frames listed in the product description on our shop. As mentioned earlier, new orders that are placed now will not ship until mid-late May when the next production of the game is finished. There is NO surplus stock being printed by Sony and it appears that they're only producing enough to fill confirmed orders from dealers. I.e, if a vendor doesn't submit an order weeks in advance, they're not getting any from each production run.
X360 Japanese Jasper Consoles Restocked
   Backorders for Japanese Xbox 360 consoles with the Jasper chipset and HDMI port (XGX-00045 | Jan Code: 4988648647732) will ship today. We have a small surplus for new orders but if we sell out again, we expect another batch within 4-7 business days. Please note that Falcon-chipset Xbox 360 Arcade bundles  are no longer available for restock and all inventory that we'll be stocking henceforth will be Jaspers.
 
 

CD Dragon Quest V JPN

Sale Import: US$29.90/each
Jan Code: 4988601202466
 SOTW Guide to Dragon Quest V Monsters Bundle - Clearance
NCS Sale of the Week Offering: April 27, 2009
Original Release in Japan: October 1992
«©NCSX» New and factory sealed Guide to Dragon Quest V Monsters CD+ Bundle which debuted in early October 1992 to dovetail with the late September 1992 release of the Dragon Quest V game on the Super Famicom. Those were the days when gamers stood on line for hours to get a chance to buy their own copy of the latest and greatest Dragon Quest game. The queues still appear whenever a Dragon Quest game is released but the mania is more subdued nowadays. The bundle contains a number of nifty Dragon Quest V items as follows:

1) Dragon Quest V Monster Cards - Deck of 60 monster cards
2) Monster Card Storage Booklet - Holds all 60 cards in clear sleeves
3) Monster Data Book - Info on the DQ5 game; 32 pages, B6 size
4) Dragon Quest V Special World Map - 36.4cm x 36.4cm size
5) Dragon Quest V Original Sound Selection CD - 2 Tracks (Overture at 1 min 16 sec and Beyond the Horizon at 58 seconds)

  The monster cards feature the stats of a creature but there's four cards that are blank "Mystery Cards" which you can fill in when you discover the secret monsters in the DQ5 game. The goodies are stored inside a flat cardboard box that's wrapped in shrinkwrap. NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and in overall excellent condition but please note that some boxes may be slightly warped on the front tray. We've deduced that the warping is caused by the tight shrinkwrap which applies tension to the cardboard and has forced it to bend inwards over the course of the past 17 years.

Sale Offering: Pricing per Dragon Quest V Monster bundle is set at US$29.90 per copy. If you reside in the USA, you may select USPS Media Mail shipping on our shop which is about $2.50. International customers are encouraged to select USPS First Class Airmail at a cost of approximately US$10 to most destinations. «Photo Gallery»
