   Five new Playstation imports arrived this morning. Check out Motteke Tamago with Ganbare Kamonohasi. The game starts with you, a baby animal, hatching from your egg or live-borne into life. You'll have to fight your way towards adulthood. Some animals featured in the game: chickens, frogs, cats, ducks, peacocks... We're fascinated by the premise. Tenshi Doumei looks like an interesting tactical adventure with mecha. Full reviews of both games will be posted on Monday's journal.

   In today's journal, NCS ponders our buying habits. We think that we can be frank here and admit that we're not at our best when it comes to purchasing the right numbers for a lot of stock. NCS took inventory a couple of months ago and catalogued roughly 8,300 CDs in our stock. When we told some of our own distributors about it, they were horrified and wondered how the NCS company could have been so careless. Oh well, we're still learning about keeping inventory levels low; the sad thing is, we have probably added a couple of thousand CDs to the mix since the last inventory check. NCS will focus on inventory control in the next couple of months and see if we can whittle those CDs down to 5 or 6 thousand. You can always help by visiting http://www.ncsx.com/prods2.html and purchasing something... Shameless aren't we?

   Our complimentary issue of Konami Magazine arrived on Monday. Despite the bold-face type on the cover proclaiming Metal Gear Solid, coverage inside is limited to a primer on the storyline and 16 new screenshots of the action in Gear. The rest of the issue is devoted to Mitsumete Knight, Twinbee RPG and a ton of ads that tout Konami releases. NCS will not have the Gun Griffon 2 Link Cable package (US$70) until next week.
