| Neo-CD Last Blade has been confirmed for shipping out of Japan next week. This means that we should have the game in stock by March 30. Although NCS has never formally taken pre-orders for this CD, we do have an extensive list of reservations that we will confirm when the game arrives. New pre-orders or reservations are welcome from now to the end of next week. NCS is tentatively pricing the game at US$60. On the Neo cartridge console, we are now sourcing Neo-Geo Blazing Star. This new shooter features mega bosses and power-ups in the style of Pulstar. No dates have been posted for Shock Troopers or Metal Slug 2 yet. |  |
| Capcom will join the hand-held game market this month with their Rockman X mini-game. Each Rockman X unit contains a cable so that the mini-game can link up with another unit for one on one gameplay. The sales sheet promotes the mini-game as a new addition to the Rockman 10th anniversary product line, even if 1998 is really Rockman's 11th anniversary. The front of the electronic game features a big, friendly Rockman face that smiles at the player. NCS expects to price the mini-game at US$29 and we should take delivery next week. Pre-orders may be submitted to NCS starting today though we do not anticipate any shortages of this item. |  |

| After some resistance from Nintendo's distribution system in Japan, NCS will finally have ample quantities of the Gameboy Pocket Printer and Camera next Tuesday. One thing that we were unable to control was the choice of colors of the camera but we should have enough of every color to satisfy everyone on our pre-order listing. Customers who are waiting for printers to go with their cameras will be notified next week. | Two new Nintendo 64 imports should make their way to market next week. G.A.S.P Fighters Next Dream and Air Boarder will both retail at US$60. Pre-orders may be e-mailed to NCS by using the link listed below. Since the domestic version of 1080 Snowboarding is expected in the next week or two, NCS has cancelled all incoming shipments of the import version of 1080. Special requests for 1080 may be still be submitted. |
| A couple of journals ago, we posted some information about a Happy Box package that we were expecting at the end of this month. They are now available from our vendor and we expect to have them shipped out next Tuesday for delivery to our company by the end of next week. NCS has not decided if we will parcel out the individual items inside each Happy Box but it appears that most people are interested in the Crazy Climber mini-game. More details will be posted next week. | |
