NDS Love Plus JPN

Japan Import: US$60.90

JAN/SKU Code: 4988602143720
 NDS Love Plus - New Japanese Import, Restock Soon
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Konami got involved with the love interaction genre 15 years ago with Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You and went on to create sequels, side stories, and animated serials based on the Tokimeki brand. There's obviously a demand for love games and Konami capitalizes on the theme once again with Love Plus. Players take on the role of a high school transfer student who finds love with one of three classmates at his new school. The game starts off after the pair have made a love confession already and the couple are in the process of dating, enjoying each other's company, and communicating. With the NDS in hand, players may meet his "girlfriend" at school or send messages by email. The time in the game world flows steadily onwards regardless of whether you're playing or not where day turns to night and the seasons change based on the date.
 
 
 

PS3 Gundam Senki U.C. 0081 JPN

Japan Import: US$80.90

JAN/SKU Code: 4582224492947
 PS3 M.S. Gundam Senki U.C. 0081 - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Gundam series with a new game that mixes HD animated sequences with 3D run 'n gun action. In the Story Mode, players step into the persona of Hugues Couraud who leads "Phantom Sweep," an Earth Federation strike force that hunts the remaining Zeon forces after the conclusion of the One Year War. On the side of the Zeon are the "Invisible Knights" who are led by Erik Blanque and provide adversarial foil to the forces of the Earth Federation.

   Gundam Senki U.C. 0081 features over 70 Gundam and Zaku mechs including the RX-78-7 which is the seventh model of the legendary Gundam mech. An online mode allows up to four players to cooperate on missions or engage in blistering firefights against each other. The first mission takes place on a dusky stage where Hugues and two team members tackle a group of enemy mechs. The darkly lit setting provides a nice backdrop to the bright explosions and the harried communications chatter between Hugues and friends give the impression of a serious military campaign in progress.
 
 

Wii Tabemon JPN

Japan Import: US$62.90

JAN/SKU Code: 4582224497010
 Wii Tabemon - New Japanese Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Namco's Pac-Man was a video game phenomenon that inspired sequels, clones, and even a song back in the day when 8-bit was bleeding edge. Nearly 30 years later, Namco's still around albeit as a part of the Bandai empire and Pac-Man still scores high on the awareness meter.

   TabeMon is sort of like a spiritual successor to Pac-Man. The main character in the game looks like a mutated version of Pac-Man and it eats. A lot. He's named Pepper and has a partner in crime named Sugar who looks like something from the Pokemon Universe. Instead of being isolated within a maze and chased by a quartet of spooks in Pac-Man, TabeMon features free-roaming gameplay where the hero runs around chomping down mobile as well as immobile objects and creatures on screen. Players may alternate between Pepper and Sugar during the course of game play to mix up the visuals. At the outset of the game, Pepper is a low-level beast that can't devour higher-level alien fruit-creatures known as Tabemon. However, by eating and growing in stature, Pepper gains levels and gets to chomp on his betters. Pepper also has a dash move where he charges into Tabemon to bust them up into smaller versions so he can eat them up. In addition to Tabemon minions, massive bosses also provide adversity in the game. 
 
 

PS3 428 Fuusa Sareta Shibuya JPN

Japan Import: US$70.90

JAN/SKU Code: 4940261509743
 PS3 428 Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de - New Import, Restock Soon
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Back in March 2006, Famitsu readers voted and ranked a game titled Machi (Sega Saturn) their top five game of all time. Publisher Chunsoft reveled in the recognition and started making plans for a "Machi-ish" game to garner more love. The fruit of their labor was 428 Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de which was originally released on the Nintendo Wii last year where it earned a perfect score from Famitsu's jaded reviewers. This week, a PS3 port is making the rounds and... garnering the love.
   428 is a digital novel that revolves around the lives of key characters who operate in Shibuya, Tokyo. The game features five stories which introduce characters such as a police officer named Kanou Shinya, a freelance writer named Minorikawa Minoru, a corporate CEO who gets himself in a fishy situation, and a kidnapping victim named Mariab Osawa and her twin sister Hitomi. Plot turns and twists take place over the course of the characters' respective chapters which entangle them into certain situations or force them into unwelcome outcomes that'll end the game abruptly.

FC Hori Handle Controller JPN

Sale Import: US$58.90/each
Jan Code: 4961818808317
 
 SOTW Hori Handle Controller for Nintendo Famicom - Sale
NCS Sale of the Week Offering: August 31, 2009
Original Release in Japan: March 30, 1989
«©NCSX» New and factory boxed Hori Handle Controller which was released for the original Famicom over 20 years ago. The controller was designed for use with the Famicom version of Afterburner but can also be used with racing games. A connector cable is included inside the box to attach the controller to the Famicom console (with applicable port accessory)  or the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Product Condition: NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed but please note the outer cardboard box has suffered the ravages of time. As such, the cardboard has dings, dents, and wear and tear caused by two decades in warehouse storage and warehouse-to-warehouse transport. Please also note that the suction cups on the bottom of the controller look a little rough and somewhat deteriorated. We're guessing the type of plastic used to make the suction cups wasn't designed for long-term utility. The rest of the plastic used to create the controller is however still shiny and sharp-looking.

Sale Offering: Pricing per controller is set at US$58.90 each. If you reside within the continental US, NCS recommends shipping by UPS Ground for the most economical domestic carriage cost.  

JAN Code: 4961818808317
Japanese Product Name: ハンドルコントローラ
 Compatibility: Famicom, Nintendo Entertainment System
