PS2 and DC June
Finalized Schedule
A few additions to the Playstation 2 release schedule for June but
otherwise, nothing significant. The summer starts off with a lackluster assortment of

Maracas Update
No mas, it seems, at least for now. Most of our Japanese vendors have
returned from the Golden Week holiday but it appears that the Maracas controllers for use
with Sambe de Amigo will no longer be available unless Sega produces another batch of this
item. For reference, NCS pricing for the Maracas and Mat box set was US$85. If we can
locate scant supply outside of the reproduction, we'll offer them to our customers based
on pre-orders that we have received already. NCS is not accepting new pre-orders for the
Maracas at this time although Samba de Amigo is currently in stock. |

Dreamcast Magazine
Vol. 17
The latest issue
features informative spreads on Sakura Project 2000 (The pink VMS included with Remake LE
is unveiled), Jet Set Radio, Eternal Arcadia, Rent a Hero No. 1, Street Fighter Third
Strike and Gun Spike. The Sakura Project also gives readers a glimpse at the upcoming
Pocket Sakura which looks like a pink Tamagotchi sans weird beasties. |

NGP Memories Off Pure
| JPN
Handheld anime dating game for the amorous traveller. Memories Off
Pure will be compatible with the Dreamcast version of Memories Off for data exchange when
it is released in late June.

E3
Things in the USA will likely crawl this week in terms of business
since most of the industry players will be attending E3. Japan and Asia are also
lackadaisical with many of our vendors going to the show to see what's up from Sony, Sega,
and Nintendo. We're mostly interested to see how Sega is going to handle their on-line
strategy and of course, Sony's announcement on the stateside PS2. |

PS2 v1.01 Drivers
Debunk
A new region unlock method purported to play American DVDs using the
latest v1.01 drivers disc from Sony does not work. If you have purchased a PS2 from NCS,
please do not load the v1.01 drivers onto your memory card to try the new trick as it will
erase the v1.0 drivers that we have loaded onto your card. It is doubtful that Sony will
allow another backdoor or loophole in their latest software but any discovery from our
customer base is always welcome. |
