also arrived on Wednesday and preliminary pre-orders have been dispatched. Another
shipment will arrive on Monday to complete all remaining Skeleton reservations. The unit
looks very high-tech and unique, with a cool air about it.. Skeleton should serve as an
interesting conversation piece in gaming rooms across America. The latest Saturn Fan
magazine also arrived yesterday and has shipped to subs. |

shipment yesterday as follows:

| A week's worth of magazines arrived on Monday. Subscriptions have shipped and new
orders for all magazines are welcome. We're not pleased with the delays we've been
experiencing in receiving our magazines but we hope for a return to normalcy in the next
couple of weeks. NCS currently ships magazines into the country by sea freight. This
minimizes the carriage cost because air freight is roughly 4 times more expensive than
shipping the magazines via ocean liners. If anything, we may have to use
air for timely delivery of our periodicals. |
 |
| A number of new books and book
restock arrived this week. The Gamest Gal's Island Mook (US$20) is
available again as well as the Gamest Best Game Volume #2 (US$30). The Best
Game Vol. 2 looks at popular video games through the years such as Street Fighter and
Vampire Hunter and also gives us a history lesson (via Atari's ads) on every Atari arcade
game ever released. New to NCS, a Sentimental Grafitti fan book with a couple of CDs
included (US$40) and a Psikyo art book (US$35) which looks
at all of those shooter characters that we've seen in Psikyo's games over the past couple
of years. |

| In today's
journal, NCS wraps up the week with a confirmed date for Neo-Geo Real Bout 2. We have
submitted our pre-order quantities to SNK (Japan and USA) but only Japan would confirm all
of our numbers. We're still waiting to see how many SNK stateside can supply. As such, NCS
will likely have a lot more Japanese cartridges than American cartridges for this game.
Also in the journal, NCS revisits 1996 with Vampire Hunter and Sakura Taisen. Sega
recently re-released the Sakura Taisen limited box and we were able to get a couple for
next week. Finally, a full listing of import restock that we expect on Monday is posted
for your perusal. As usual, pre-orders are welcome and any that we receive over the
weekend will be processed on Monday morning. |
