Parasite Eve (US$65) arrived on Monday. NCS now
has our complete shipment of this beautifully done game and all pre-orders have been
shipped. NCS' version of Parasite Eve includes a 33 page color guide book that introduces you to every character in the game,
lists all of the menu options, and details the weapons and attack techniques...all in
English. The book is included outside of the CD-Rom but is bundled together with a mylar
sleeve. The Parasite Eve jewel contains 2 CD-Roms. Although the text in the game is in
Japanese, all of the spoken word is in clear English, courtesy of Square's USA studios. |

Neo-CD Last Blade (US$62) is now in stock. We received
the second half of our shipment on Tuesday. Due to a low production run of this CD
from SNK in Japan, we are not sure if we will be able to restock this game after our
initial shipment. NCS has checked with SNK of America and they have received one shipment
of this game thus far and do not expect any more. |

PC-FX Kendo Rage Z (US$60) and N64 Air Boarder 64 (US$60)
arrived on Monday. Kendo features the blue-haired woman warrior that we
first met in a number of Super Famicom action platformers (Makeruna Makendo) and one
Playstation fighting game. She now gets involved in a role playing adventure filled with
animated sequences, charming comrades and devious villains. Air Boarder on
the N64 is similar to a number of the snow boarding games that we've seen in the past
couple of months with steep slope action, half pipe events and racing challenges in a
variety of interesting tracks. Check out NCS' review of this boardng game in Tuesday's Daily Journal. |

A large amount of import restock is available for
shipping this week. Mitsumete Knight now includes a postcard with each order while Iwatobi
Rocky Hopper X includes a neat little plastic Penguin case for holding your pens and
pencils. The front and back cover of every title is now posted for your reference. A
couple of weeks ago, NCS took delivery of a Super Famicom game from 1996 called Bomberman Beedaman (US$39).
We now have a good sized quantity of this cartridge available for regular sales and not
just pre-orders. The neat thing about this cartridge is the little Bomberman figure that
is included with a jiggly stomach marble. |

for saving your moves. Memory cards sold separately. Pocket Pikachu (US$29) also squirreled its way
in and is now shipping to pre-orders. |
