Freak |
| The January 1999
issue of the magazine for Neo-Geo fans is now in stock. An annual feature
that is found only in the January issue is a look back at 1998's covers and some variants
that never made it to print. Subscriptions will ship today. New orders are welcome. |

Fighter Zero 3 Figures |
| Capcom will be shipping a set of four SFZ3 figures on January 15.
The initial fighters that we are expecting include: Chun Li, Ken, Ryu, and Sakura. The
price is expected to be in the US$35 ~ US$38 range. As we
have seen with Capcom's licensed figures in the past, we expect excellent craftsmanship
and detailing in the new figures. Pre-orders welcome. |

| Yen
Equilibrium |
| The dollar continues to fall and import prices continue to rise.
The currency situation is not following script and the overnight break below Y110 to the
dollar is a serious breaking of support. The low was Y108.58. There was no sharp rebound
and a fall to Y105 may be quick and nasty. As an aside, the Euro continues to get trounced
with little conviction from buyers - an about face from the confidence exuded early last
week. |

Pro 4 in 1 |
| NCS has noticed that most returns of the SATURN 4 in 1 card are
unnecessary. We will update our 4 in 1 page with this information but the gist is this: If
you find that the 4 in 1 does not work when first plugged in, you will have to secure the
connection by folding a small piece of paper (1/8") and wedging it in the front of
the 4 in 1 so that it pushes against the upper rim of the cartridge slot. Every 4 in 1
cartridge that we've received in return over the past couple of weeks has worked properly
on our demo Saturn console. EMS' manufacturing process for the card is nearly perfect and
their QC filters out defective cards from ever being packaged and shipped. |

Bears are growling. NCS will stand aside this week to observe cash flows and index
levels. We see new highs later this month but not now. |
