Gitaroo Man One |

A droopy drip of a bloke by day, rampaging guitar handler
by... um, day also. Gitaroo Man introduces the world, in bite
sized playable preview form, to the latest in musical rhythm action.
The encore arrives on June 7th when Koei releases the fully fleshed out Y5800 tagged
release. Accompanied by a pooch named Puma,
U-1 plays the hero of this affair and he looks resplendent in
his pastel colored retro regalia. A huge hair-hat flattening
vessel tops everything off, complete with kaiser inspired
point. The gist is this: alien invaders of the musical sort
seek to wreak havoc on earth and only a guitar slinging, teeth
gnashing youth can fend off the assault. Some menaces include
a gigantor of a bot who attacks while two turntables spin in
the breast location and gnarly spinning UFOs ringed by
keyboards. Rhythm action commences by way of a flowing orange
line of goo which drains into a blue dot located in the center
of the screen. Your mission is to follow the direction of goo
movement with your joypad accurately and without hesitation as
it winds and weaves. A battle between U-1 and an invader takes
place while you're concentrating on the cues and if you ever
take your eyes off to notice, you'll see an exhilarating
musical battle which ends in climactic destruction of your foe
if you're good enough. Street based battles are enjoyable to
watch, where the camera occasionally focuses away from the
action to give props to pedestrians who stand around doing a
little choreographed dance while carnage erupts around them.

Gitarooman was too engaging and precious this morning to spend
much time with the morning's other new import releases. We'll
post updates on the two new GBC cartridges on Monday morning
with reviews. Both games are in stock and available for
shipping today. DQM2 is priced at US$58 and Hunter X Hunter
nips credit cards for US$43 worth of coin.

NCS was unable to compile a listing of everything that arrived
this morning, it's a lot of stuff. There are many games
that we already have in stock but they'll bolster our
inventory. Meanwhile, there's many titles we haven't seen in
years and some are posted today. Unfortunately, the treasures
that many were seeking apparently did not make it, after spot
checking through the cartons. I.e, Radiant Silvergun, Princess
Crown, Sailor Moon Super S, etc remain undiscovered but we
figure it'll only be matter of time before we find them again
someday. NCS will be able to post the remaining items by
Monday but most products should be added to the online store
over the weekend.
