 PC Star Wars Darth Vader USB Hub - Sale US$78.90
NCS Product Synopsis
Update: August 22, 2008
«©NCSX» You could be like everyone else and buy a boxy USB hub that was designed by an engineer. A by-the-book engineer who wears a polyvinyl pocket protector that holds exactly five Energel 0.5mm ballpoint pens.

   You could also pay tribute to your Star Wars inner geek by snagging an R2-D2 or Darth Vader USB Hub. If you should opt for the R2-D2 version, you'll get four USB ports to plug devices into and a little droid which swivels its dome and makes beep-boop sounds. Purchasers of the Darth Vader USB Hub will also get four USB ports but instead of a little droid, they'll get the ominous visage of the dark Jedi Knight with blinking red eyes.
 
 Darth Vader USB Color
 
   Upon plugging in the Darth Vader USB Hub, the Jedi will breathe thrice, his eyes will light up red, and he'll turn his head a couple of times as if surveying his surroundings.
 
    When a device is plugged into the unit, the sound of light sabers swinging may be heard and Darth's eyes will light up red once more, and his head will turn once. 
 
    Afterwards, Darth will light up and breathe from time to time which can be quite alarming if the event is unexpected. We timed the frequency to be roughly once every 3 minutes

Product Packaging
  
The Darth Vader USB hubs remaining in inventory are brand new but the packaging has seen better days. Many of the boxes have visible dents and tears caused by years of storage and intra-warehouse transport.

 X360 Death Smiles IIX Limited Edition - Sale US$68.90
NCS Product Synopsis
Original Update: May 26, 2010
«©NCSX»
 
In the original DeathSmiles, the heroines Windia, Caspar, Rosa, and Follet were teenagers who were accompanied by invincible familiars. In the sequel, the girls have devolved and they're no longer teens. They're now "tweens" which accentuates the lolita-gothic theme of the game with a younger-looking cast of immaculately garbed and coiffed junior maidens. 

   Similar to the first DeathSmiles, the sequel is a horizontal shooter where players fire shots to the right, fire shots to the left, and drop the occasional bomb blast. A lock-shot is also available by pressing the "A" and "B" shot buttons together to lock onto enemies. In the coin-op version, DeathSmiles II featured a cast of four characters with Windia and Caspar returning to reprise their roles. They're joined by a lad named Lei with an identity crisis. Although Lei's a male, he nevertheless dresses up like a maid and appears to be wearing eyeliner. The fourth character is a youngling named Supe (Soupy) who looks like a baby munchkin just emerging from her swaddling clothes. The Xbox 360 conversion improves on the coin-op original by adding Rosa and Follet as playable characters. The 360 game also includes two new stages for a total of 7 to plow through and attendant bosses who guard the new stages. DeathSmiles 2 is designed with 3D in mind so the stages, enemies, and bosses are rendered 3D models which may be off-putting to some 2D shmup purists. We like the game just fine however - picked up a used kit for about US$1500. Preorders for the Regular Edition (US$73.90) and the Limited Edition which includes a bonus soundtrack and slipcase (US$119.90) are shipping today.

   All preorders include a bonus DeathSmiles IIX DLC card as photographed below. We will include it with new orders while supplies last. 

Questions and Answers
Why do the girls look so young now?
   The lolita fetish is strong in this one.

Region-free?
   No, but Cave's intentions and plans might change. Update 05/26: Not-Region-Free.

How many copies will the original DeathSmiles sell in the USA?
   About 100 copies. Maybe 200 if Walmart throws in a $10 gift card.
