SKU/JAN Code: 4582206990041
 NDS Sekai no Hate Made Itte Q! Chinjuu Hunter Mono - New
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Translated as "Travel to the ends of the Earth," Sekai no Hate Made Itte Q! is a popular television variety show with an ensemble cast. One of the characters in the show is a girl named Imoto Ayako who has really big eyebrows and busted teeth. She goes out into the world to experience other cultures and check out different animals. In the Nintendo DS game based on the show, Imoto travels to different places to find assorted animals and compete in mini-games against them. For example, she'll engage in a foot race against a cheetah, play "tug of war" with an alligator, chuck a spear at a motionless target, and answer simple questions about the different creatures that she encounters. All orders will include a few sheets of Sekai no Hate Made Itte Q! decals that are all packaged in a plastic baggie which was given away by the publisher in 1:1 ratio.
 
 
 

NDS Soccer Tsuku DS World JPN

New Import: $58.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 4974365910730
 NDS Soccer Tsuku DS World Challenge 2010 - New Import
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Sega's been in the soccer game business for over two decades and their latest soccer sim is a top-notch entry on the Nintendo DS. Famitsu blessed Soccer Tsuku DS with Gold in last week's issue (8/9/7/8) and it's a shame that most NDS players outside Japan will never experience  the game. Sega includes three European leagues (England, Spain, and Italy), the Japanese national league, and a World Challenge for gamers to explore. The Sakatsuku Mode gives players control of a team and the goal is to build up the ranks with capable team members who level up their stats when they're kicking and punting on the field. The Wi-Fi Mode allows players to hook up and engage each other in soccer action.
    Early preorders will include a bonus Ramos Ruy code card that's being given away by Sega in 50% ratio. The card is packed in a blue foil wrapper.
 
 
 

PSP FMA: Yakusoku no Hi JPN

New Import: $53.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 4582224493395
 PSP Fullmetal Alchemist: Yakusoku no Hi New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
Update: May 28, 2010
 «©NCSX» Ever since ancient times, the knowledge of alchemy and transmutation has been used by those trained in the mystic arts. Closely guarded and hidden by symbols and esoteric terminology, the science of alchemy is limited to only to a small group of practitioners.
   In the Fullmetal Alchemist storyline, protagonist Edward Elric loses his sibling Alphonse in an unfortunate accident that occurs when the brothers try to resurrect their mother. To save Alphonse, Edward uses alchemy to capture his brother's soul within a suit of armor. Ed also suffers the loss of his left leg and his right arm but thanks to his knowledge of alchemy, he replaces his limbs with mechanical appendages. Ever the optimist, Edward decides that the Philisopher's Stone - the elusive reagent capable of granting eternal life, changing tin to gold, and other miraculous transmutations, is the key to his woes and sets off on a mission to find it.
   Join the Elric brothers in an action-adventure game which takes Edward and Alphonse across the land of Amestris. The game features free-roaming exploration, interactive battle sequences, and a supporting cast of characters such as Winry Rockbell and Roy Mustang. The game is labeled an RPG and the interaction sequences are plentiful to relay the plotline. Battles are of the turn-based variety with the face buttons pushed to trigger attacks from party members. Early preorders will ship with a bonus Fullmetal Alchemist Hagane Storage Box (50% ratio allocation) which can be used to store about a dozen PSP games or a few PS1 games.
 
 

PS2 Strike Witches Anata JPN

New Import: $98.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 4560100336349
 PS2 Strike Witches: Anata to Dekirukoto A Little Peaceful Days
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» The Earth was once a sparkling jewel of a planet. The word "once" in the previous sentence is operative because in an alternate reality version of Earth, the planet's been devastated by an destructive armed force called the Neuroi. To fight back and perhaps conquer the Neuroi, human scientists pour their creative animus into a contraption called the "Striker Unit" which is an all-in-one device which grants wearers the power of flight, defensive measures, and enhances one's propensity for magic. In the world of Strike Witches, cat-eared girls serve as the warriors who don the Striker Units and thrust through the heavens to battle the insidious Neuroi.
   The PS2 adaptation of Strike Witches can be slotted into the "Interactive Novel" genre where players interact with the cast from the animated series and endure lengthy conversation sequences. Occasionally, the game prompts the player to perform a situational decision by way of a button press which leads to a new round of conversation. The PS2 game focuses on  two Witches named Amaki Suwa and Nishiki Nakashima (shown on the left side of the game cover) who are stranded on a deserted island and they interact with the Witch protagonist Yoshi Kudou. The limited edition of Strike Witches includes a Drama CD and is packaged in a shiny slipcase.  
 
 

PS3 FFXIII Lightning Edition JPN

New Import: $138.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 8809083647278
 PS3 Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Edition Bundle Deluxe
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Square Enix localizes Final Fantasy XIII in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan this week with a Chinese language rendition of the game. Since anyone in those territories (who really really wanted to play the game) has already played the Japanese or North American version of FFXIII already, Square had to think of a gimmick to convince fans to purchase the game again. The gimmick was a multi-pronged one as follows:

 Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Edition Bundle Deluxe Contents

» Final Fantasy XIII game (Chinese with English/Korean subtitles)
» Dual Shock 3 controller with pink Lightning imprint

 » FFXIII CG Illustrations Booklet

   All re-confirmed preorders at the price of US$138.90 will ship today and new orders are welcome for dispatch this afternoon.   
 
 
 

NDS WSWE 2010 Playmaker JPN

New Import: $65.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 4988602150780
 Wii World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010 Playmaker - New
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Violins chirp to start the rousing introductory cinema which kicks off Konami's WSWE 2010 Playmaker that should stir the national pride of Japanese footy fans. The Japanese national team performs ably against international squads amidst glimpses of the billowing flag of Japan. A tear almost ran down our collective eyes but somehow, we held it back.
   At the outset of the game, a number of training exercises are presented for players to practice the controls - the default controller setup is the Nunchuk and Remote but an alternate setup allows the use of the Classic Controller and Remote. The first training exercise prompts players to run across the field by using the Remote followed by a passing session and a kicking stint where the ball is passed and kicked around the field.
   Game modes includes "Japan Challenge," "UEFA Champions League," "Match," "PM vs WE," and "League/Cup" along with a Replay Gallery to review particularly memorable plays. NCS tried out a Japan Challenge game this morning and found that the camera view pans far above the field so that the players appear small against the backdrop of the field. We prefer this perspective because we're able to watch a big chunk of the players as they ramble around the field. Controls are tight and precise with the combination of Remote and Nunchuk working beautifully to shuffle a player around and shake loose oncoming attackers.

SS SS Pro Commander JPN

Olde Import: $25.90/ea

SKU/JAN Code: 4948860210107
 
 SOTW SS Pro Commander for Sega Saturn - Clearance
NCS Sale of the Week Offering: May 24, 2010
Original Release in Japan: July 10, 1996
 «©NCSX» Brand new and factory packaged SS Pro Commander for the Sega Saturn which is the only controller we've ever stocked that is packed with a user manual that's as big as a poster. Really. As big as a poster to explain the myriad functions that the controller is capable of. The special buttons on the face of the joypad are: SLOW, PLAY, EDIT, TEACH, STEP, TIME, COPY, DEL which means that gamers can pull of moves, store them, and then replay them ad infinitum. While supplies last, NCS will include a bonus SS Pro Commander Memory Card which plugs into the bottom of the joypad. Optec used to sell the memory cards separately instead of being good blokes and including them with each controller. 

Product Condition
   NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed in the original cardboard containers. The packaging is in very good structural shape but there is denting and scuffing n the cardboard due to years of warehouse-to-warehouse transport and storage. NCS' inventory does not suffer from "sun-fading" which is caused when product are left out in the open so that sunlight bleaches and fades the colors from once-pretty packaging.

Sale Offering
   Pricing per SS Pro Commander is set at US$25.90 each. If you reside in the USA, NCS recommends USPS Media Mail shipping for the most economical domestic service. For our customers outside the USA, NCS recommends normal Airmail International service. «Photo Gallery»
