Summary |
A fairly busy week and the first sleeper
of 2006 is Ninkyouden Toseinin Ichidaki. Few gamers outside of Japan
will play the game since it wasn't hyped by the usual suspects but
it's an enjoyable beat 'em up with a feudal Yakuza backdrop to revel
in. NCS also found solace in Tenka-bito which is a fast paced war game
that's played like Warcraft. |

Summary |
No one at NCS watched the Olympics
either... A flood of imports arrive this week with Ibara leading
preorders followed by Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box. The European
versions of Tales of Eternia and Breath of Fire III continue to sell
briskly and remind us of how DC Shenmue II sold when that was only
released in Europe with English subtitles. |
