Nintendo 64: Puyo Puyo 3

   Here we have a picture of the Nintendo 64 version of Puyo Puyo 3. It does not look like Compile has added any gameplay upgrades to the game. We will get a chance to check it out firsthand next week however and any new (or lack thereof) elements will be reported. We are pricing Puyo Puyo 3 at US$60. For gamers who have never experienced Puyo Puyo, it's a simple game at face value but one that demands quick thinking and a devious mind for building killer combos. Check out our Saturn review of Puyo Puyo Sun for more details.

   Extreme G will be available later today. Acclaim is not allowing pick-ups from their warehouse until 2:30PM this afternoon. We are retailing the game at US$60. NFL Quarterback Club '98, also from Acclaim, should start shipping next Monday at a retail price of US$68. Although Electronic Art's John Madden '98 for the N64 is out, it was only shipped to national retail chains such as Electronics Boutique and Babbages. It will be available for regular store distribution next week. This happens every once in a while when a big title comes out and large chain stores are given a brief but valuable moment of exclusivity.    There are three limited edition restock items that we are expecting in the next week or two. We are taking reservations for these goods today to allocate them. On the SONYPS, we will have the Classmate 2 Deluxe Doll Box set available at US$100 and Escaflowne in the Sky Limited Box at US$75. On the Saturn side, we are expecting the Cyberbots Limited Edition at US$70. We are only expecting 5-8 pcs of each title and these should be the last of the available stock from Japan. Reservations that are already on hold have been accounted for and will get first dibs. Pre-orders and/or item queries may be mailed to ncs@escape.com.
