| NCS will have a collection of Sakura Taisen dolls available for sale in roughly 2-3 weeks. Two different dolls for the Sakura character are expected and pictures will be posted when they are in stock. The other characters have one representing doll each. A super-deformed Sakura set of figures is also being considered. Speaking of Sakura, Sega is re-releasing the Sakura Taisen limited edition box set on June 20. This package contains a mouse, a mousepad and a glossy sticker sheet all packed into an attractive deluxe box. Both A and B imprint sets will be available. Feel free to place a pre-order for this item if you are interested by mailing ncs@escape.com. NCS is actively sourcing Neo-Geo cartridges from Japan to fill the want-lists and wish-lists of some of our ardent Neo-Geo customers. The first cartridge that we will have available is Stakes Winner II at a substantial discount from the original retail price of Y24800. The second cartridge will be the recent fighting game, Breakers. Both titles should be available for sale next Wednesday. Other recent cartridges will be sourced and will be posted when they are stocked. Two reviews have been posted on last week's table; one for Runabout Climax and one for Ganbare Morikawa-kun. | |||||
| Next Week: We are expecting Taiheiyo No Arashi 2 and Salamander Deluxe Pack for the Sega Saturn next Wednesday. Taiheiyo is a war strategy sim in the style of World Advanced and Salamander Deluxe Pack collects Salamander and Life Force into one compilation disc. Both are cool arcade shooters of yesteryear from the masters at Konami. Nothing is due for the Playstation. | |||||
