Vampire Saviour US$49    SATURN Vampire Saviour is now in stock. All pre-orders and reservations will be shipped out today. Express Mail shipments will go out before 3:00PM for guaranteed delivery tomorrow in most areas of the country. It might be Sunday Express Mail delivery if you're in Alaska, Puerto Rico or Hawaii. First impressions of the game: Incredible detail, sharp graphics and best of all, scant load times. NCS will do a side by side comparison between the arcade version and the home version over the weekend. We probably won't be able to tell much of a difference between the two. Versions available today:
Vampire Saviour regular edition US$49
Vampire Saviour ram edition US$60
G Darius    SONYPS G Darius (US$58) is now in stock for the Playstation. Thrilling levels and monstrous bosses return to the fray as you guide the familiar Darius ship to new and exotic worlds. A special mode that is exclusive to the Playstation version is a VS-Boss mode where you can just smash a boss up one-on-one, with nothing else to bother the two of you. Shooters are a general favorite here at NCS and G Darius is a satisfying shooter with intense firepower and cool bosses that look like big metallic trout.

   National Console Support is now expecting SATURN Vampire Saviour tomorrow. Most reservations have been confirmed so we should have an efficient ship-out of the game tomorrow.

    In yesterday's journal, NCS expects the limited edition Cool Saturn next week. This new Saturn variant features a transparent case so that you can see the electronics inside. NCS received word overnight that SATURN Basic will be re-released this summer. We ask that pre-orders for this item be submitted in the next couple of days so that we can order accordingly. Only one re-production of the Basic package will be offered. As one might conjecture, today will be very busy so we'll continue with normal journal entries next Monday. Until then, NCS bids everyone a nice weekend.
