| DC Fighting Vipers 2 |
Scans |
| Two
years after the original Fighting Vipers tournament, the cast and crew
return for another armor bustin' battle royale. Honey, Sanman, the
indomitable Picky and the other bruisers bristle with new looks, new
armor, and updated fighting technique. Each battle begins with your
warrior wearing a suit of protective body armor. This affords
shielding from
blows but then there's the Super K.O. System in play which breaks
armor. All it takes is the right punch or kick to dislocate this
protective suit. Once broken, flesh is exposed to the flurry of
punches, kicks, and general abuse. New fighters to the ruckus include Emi, who
may have been modeled after the girl in Umihara Kawase and Charlie, a
BMX bike riding maniac who pops wheelies upon foes. In stock today US$53. |

DC Giga Wing 2 and Super Street Fighter IIX are slated
for Thursday. PS Derby Jockey 2001 and Fuulaiki are also
expected tomorrow morning. Restock shipments scheduled for Thursday
include Napple Tale, Moero! Justice Schools, Dead or Alive Hardcore, et al but due to changes
in year 2001 FCC regulations and classifications for import shipments,
we are experiencing a bit of a delay on many inbound shipments due to
these revisions. Under new FCC frequency emissions rules, software is now lumped
with hardware and must be classified under the same code for some
reason. |
Shipments of Wonderswan Color
handhelds are due to resume next week and pricing for the handheld is
set at US$85.
A variety of released software titles will also populate the website
when the stock happens next week. NCS will contact customers as soon
as the items arrive.

@ NCS |
|
NCS is maintaining a
contact list for Gameboy Advance pre-orders. This means a
customer may contact NCS
with the message header "GBA Preorder" and we will add you
to our mailing list and keep you abreast of news on the handheld as
well as possible reservations. Due to the unknown initial allocation
of the GBA at this time, NCS is unable to guarantee pre-orders for the
launch week but the contact list that we are maintaining will
keep everyone updated on availability of the unit as well as software
titles. If you have inquired about the GBA already, you are
automatically added to this list.
As mentioned earlier this week, GBA supplies during the
week of March 21 will be scarce but units inevitably show up during
the weeks that follow. It's a tried and true routine witnessed during
the launch of the Pocket Gameboy, the Gameboy Color, and on major
first party Gameboy products. Even the Gameboy Pocket Camera and
Printer enjoyed a period of rarity and exclusivity. Now they sit in
Japanese sales bins at fractions of their original value. So, the
lesson for today is, if the sales tactic works, don't fix it.
