GEAR Smile Slime Aloha Shirt JPN

New Import: US$63.90/ea

JAN Code: 4988601216470
 GEAR Smile Slime Aloha Shirt - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Hawaiian shirts are so 70's but they still hold some charm thanks to their wild colors, jagged designs, palm trees, and Slimes. That's right, SLIMES. Now that Square Enix has shipped the Smile Slime Aloha Shirt this week in Japan, randy wearers will be able to show off their sense (or lack) of style. Only one size is being offered by SQEX - a Medium Free-Size made of 100% cotton which measures 71cm (27.95") from collar to hem and 58cm (22.83") across the chest. If you're larger than those measurements, take note that Square Enix doesn't want your business and plot your revenge accordingly. 

Two styles of Slime Shirts are available for order as follows:
1) Navy Blue shirt (shown to the left)
2) Green Palm shirt (not shown... but sold out anyway)
 
 

PSP Blazing Souls Accelerate JPN

New Import: US$53.90/ea

JAN Code: 4995857090730
 PSP Blazing Souls Accelerate - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» After the ravages of the Seven Year War, the denizens of Neverland slowly rebuild their cities and villages. Despite the gradual sway towards order, the balance of the world is uneven, caused by the absence of some forms of magic. Enter an amnesia-addled mercenary named Zeros who unearths an artifact which may hold the key to resolving the equilibrium of Neverland. Zeros joins up with a number of fellow travelers including a gruff warrior named Duzer and a morose young girl named Andel who seeks answers for the death of her parents. The party is eventually engulfed in an adventure which will affect the future direction of Neverland and its long suffering citizens.

   Similar to earlier S-RPGs from Idea Factory, Zeros and friends visit the town guild to fetter out missions and open new lands. Cooperative attacks and powerful Break Arts techniques are available which ignite massive damage-inducing roundhouses on hapless targets. World travel is viewed on an isometric map as Zeros moves and interacts with the landscape. Objects may be manipulated to reach higher area or pushed. Battles are fought on isometric battlefields where magical effects and Overkills are shown in flashy animated sequences with bright conflagrations lighting up the screen. All preorders for the PSP release of Blazing Souls Accelerate will ship with a set of three bonus Blazing Souls postcards which feature the characters from the game in brilliant color.

PS2 Rosario to Vampire Capu 2 JPN

New Import: US$95.90/ea

JAN Code: 4995857090747
 PS2 Rosario to Vampire Capu 2 LE - New Import, Restock Soon
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» The cast of Rosario to Vampire are perfectly agreeable archetypes to be used in a romance adventure game and that's what they're doing this summer.
 
    The game opens up on a street scene where Moka Akashiya is standing between two buildings next to a brute. The protagonist is a new character who gets entangled in the world of Youkai Academy where the students are all monsters. Thanks to a swipe from the brute, Moka falls and gets her knee scraped in the early sequence of the game before heading to school. Once at school, a procession of characters from the manga/anime serial appear and provide banter and drama. The voice actresses from the animated series were tapped to provide the speech in the game and their performances are emotive as well as expressive. Note however that the protagonist's voice isn't heard and only his green-tinted speech bubble appears to show his commentary on each scenario. Players interact and perhaps go on a date with the various characters such as Moka, Kokoa Shuzen (redheaded half-sibling of Moka), Yukari Sendou (witch), Kurumu Kurono (blue-haired lassie), and Mizore Shirayuki (girl with purple hair).

TOYS Boba Fett Kubrick JPN

Restocked: US$168.90/ea

Jan Code: 4530956172460
 NEWS General Updates
TOYS Boba Fett Kubrick update
   The Boba Fett Kubricks didn't make it in yesterday but they did arrive today and all backorders are shipping this afternoon. We've kept a few boxes for ourselves over the past few shipments and we still haven't found a Rocket Firing Boba Fett (J-Slot Version) chase figure yet. We did find one of the L-Slot chase Bobas however.
X360 Real Arcade Twinstick EX update
    Preorders for the Twinstick EX will be closing on Monday of next week. We're arranging payment for the sticks and all preorders and/or re-confirmations are guaranteed when Hori releases them in October. The volume of orders for the Twinstick was something of a surprise since the $400 controller can only be used for one game - Virtual On Oratorio Tangram. It's a great game though and we'll be playing it in style this October.
 
 

PCE Rom Adapter RAU-30 JPN

Sale Import: US$59.90/each
Jan Code: 4904323405343

Manufacturer: NEC
 SOTW PC-Engine Super-Grafx Rom Adapter RAU-30 - Sale
NCS Sale of the Week Offering: July 20, 2009
Original Release in Japan: December 04, 1988
«©NCSX» Whenever we locate old inventory in the dark recesses of the original warehouse, we'll wonder how well the plastic has held up over the years. Even though PVC and ABS are pretty much eternal, we're nevertheless wary of any yellowing or flaking. Other than the yellowing Hori Trackballs that we unearthed a few weeks back, everything we've found that's been manufactured with plastic has been in pristine shape.
   For today's offer, NCS attempts to sell a few cases of the PC-Engine RAU-30 Rom Adapter. All inventory is brand spanking new and complete with inner styrofoam tray, original instructions in a baggie, two plastic feet, and of course the new RAU-30 adapter. Although the adapters are in mint condition, the outer cardboard packaging is less than perfect and looks rough. Cardboard simply isn't as durable as plastic as time motors onwards. The RAU-30 allows PC-Engine Super-Grafx users the means to connect the awkwardly shaped console to the CD-Rom interface (IFU-30). 
 
Product Condition
   NCS' remaining RAU-30 inventory is brand new and packaged in the original factory cardboard box. Although the contents of each RAU-30 is in perfect and brand new condition, please note that the outer cardboard box shows signs of wear, dents, and other imperfections.

Sale Offering
   Pricing per PC-Engine Rom Adapter RAU-30 is set at US$59.90 each. If you reside in the USA, NCS recommends UPS Ground shipping for the most economical domestic service. International customers are encouraged to select USPS First Class Airmail at approximately US$21.
