| Click here for information on the next "Tamagotchi" due out in Japan within the next three weeks. The Virtual Pet craze is growing... NCS has both Japanese and American territory versions of Real Bout Special in stock now. The next big thing on the Japanese N64 should start shipping on April 24. NCS is urging our customers to place pre-orders for Starfox 64 this week to ensure that you will receive a copy. Supplies will be limited in the first week due to strong demand in Japan. We will however guarantee all direct customers a copy if they pre-order or reserve a copy this week. Starfox 64 will come packed with the feedback cartridge which will rattle your joypad to simulate a jolt or concussive blast when your starglider takes a hit. It should be cool. Feel free to place your reservation by mailing us at ncs@escape.com. The tentative price for Starfox 64 is US$98. Dracula X is currently sold out in Japan; we are unable to source this item this week but we are looking forward to restock by April 21. All reservations on hold will be fulfilled as soon as we restock. Next week Saturn: Gundam Z, Sky Target; Sonyps: Daibouken Deluxe, Ekono Kids, Feda 2, Hashiriya, Max Racer, Quo Vadis, Veldeselba. | ||||||
