.National       Whats New for the Week of April 7, 1997
  .Console       Last updated: Apri1 11, 1997 at 10:00am  
  .Support       Top Picks: Super Pang Collection
          Sales were consistent this week from both wholesale and retail accounts, even without any major new product. We can thank Metal Slug and Shinoken from last week for this consistency. Nothing is expected next week for the Sega Saturn but we should have Alundra and Raiden DX for the Playstation on Monday. The restock of the limited edition of Cyberbots should also be available again on Monday. Due to the limited allocation that we will receive in this second shipment, we will not be able to accept new orders for this product. All pre-orders on hold will however be dispatched on Monday. Looking forward into later this month, we will have Gundam Z and Sky Target for the Saturn on April 23. Waku Waku 7 was expected this month but as of yesterday, the release date has been pushed back until late June. On the Playstation side, Tobal No. 2, Fighters Impact, and Gundam 0079 are all expected on April 27. NCS wishes everyone a good weekend.  
Japanese Import Software. Many of the expected items such as Raiden DX have been delayed one week
