| Everything is currently in stock with the exception of Virtual Hiryu Ken and Super Pang Collection. These two have been delayed until next Monday. Customers who have pre-ordered Super Pang should note that the USA version known as Super Buster Brothers will be available in roughly two weeks. We were expecting the release of Real Bout Special today for the Neo-Geo CD but a fax from SNK indicates that the release date has been pushed back until April 12. There are many Playstation items expected next week along with VHKen and Super Pang. For one, there is Raiden DX which an impressive arcade shooter that features monster power-ups and leagues of metallic enemies and their underbosses. | |||||||
