Cotton
Original / PS / Success
The arcade
shooter from 1991 that started the Cotton series is now available on the
Playstation. Cotton features a feisty red-haired witch that rides on a broom and blasts
her enemies with magical powers. It's a fun shooter that should prove delightful to Cotton
fans old and new. Retail US$49.
On a related note, a couple of large shipments of product are being held for
Customs inspection. We hope to have everything cleared by tomorrow morning. |

Pokemon
2 / N64 / Nintendo
The Pocket Monsters phenomenon continues with Pokemon Stadium 2
shipped overnight. NCS expects delivery next Monday. Like the original N64 Pokemon game,
experienced trainers will be able to move their Gameboy Pokemon to the N64 and big screen
for battles and further training via the GB Transfer Pack. Retail is expected to price at US$60. |

Dreamcast
Mission Stick
ASCII has shipped their latest DC accessory and NCS expects to take delivery
on Monday. The Mission Stick is an analog joystick controller with a unique shuttle pad
that should work very well with Aero Dancing and Konami's upcoming Airforce Delta. Like
the other heavy weight Dreamcast controllers, this one should price at US$65.
Pre-order are welcome. |

Yen Equilibrium
/ 09:56AM
The dollar's at Y118.90 this morning, basically unchanged from
yesterday at this time. The bias right now would be to go long dollar but none of our
downside levels were hit so we remain without a position at this time. Our trigger is set
at Y117.80 to go long. |

Capital Markets
/ 10:13AM
The action thus far has been impressive this morning. We were
expecting a heavy and relentless internet stock sell-off but buyers stepped in and have
saved the morning. AMZN remains under pressure but everything else has recovered from
steep losses. The "buy the dip" mentality is prevalent out there and it should
be since dipsters have been rewarded time and again for their exuberance. We'll have to
see how the afternoon progresses since sellers may be able to swamp buyers if they unlock
positions and overwhelm the inflows. |
