   Rakugakids hits the Japanese N64 scene next month. The carefree, childlike renderings that Parappa made cool return in this fighting game that features an assortment of silly animal and wacky creatures. NCS expects to receive a preview of Rakugakids within the next couple of weeks and will post up our first impressions when it arrives.

   Well, we couldn't wait. We put in a pre-order for SFZero III to ship as soon as it hits the distribution channels in Japan. Call us diehard SF fans, but there is nothing like playing the latest SF, away from the din of a gungy arcade (or pizza parlor) and in front of an XRGB-1 enabled monitor powered by our JAMMA cabinet. Not exactly Heaven but it's close. We have also decided to pick up Libero Grande, in honor of the World Cup.

   Sony released a new Dual Shock package in Japan this past week that includes a standard Gray pad and your choice of another White, Diamond Black, Crystal or Smoke Gray pad for Y7800 (NCS $60). NCS has no plans to begin stocking this set but will be glad to accept special requests. As most of Europe and Asia glue themselves to the soccer madness in France, NCS bids everyone a fine weekend.
