Final Fantasy IX
   It matters little that Dragon Quest VII is looming in the horizon, Square's Final Fantasy IX rules the month of July in Japan. Hearkening back to a simpler time, Yoshitaka Amano returns as lead designer of the game and eschews the futuristic techno-junky look of Final Fantasy VII and VIII in
favor of a more traditional fantasy setting with medieval castles, quaint villages, and magic. In stock US$78.

Final Fantasy IX US$78

Import Updates
   Dreamcast Jet Set Radio and Shutokou Battle 2 have both been restocked this morning at US$53 each. Pre-orders submitted over the course of the past week will ship today. New orders are welcome on-line.
   Tecmo has confirmed the release of Dead or Alive 2 Limited Edition for the Japanese Dreamcast. Slated for September 28 at Y6800, the LE version includes a Digital Venus Photo Gallery that features CG galleries of the DOA2 women, PC wallpaper and screen savers. Pre-orders may be submitted to NCS but we will close this offer by Monday of next week due to expected allocation of this product.
   The September Dreamcast import schedule also lists Sakura Taisen 2 regular and limited editions due on September 21. Both versions will include a Sakura Taisen 3 demo disc. NCS is accepting pre-orders for the regular edition of Sakura Taisen 2 at this time but we will post additional details on the LE version next week when more information is provided by Sega.
   Generally, September appears meek for the Dreamcast import market. The other import viable titles due are: Eternal Arcadia Regular and Limited Edition, deSpiria, Love Hina Regular and Limited Edition, Napple Tale, and Rayblade. NCS will post the complete September DC import schedule in Monday's update.
   The Saturn game VATLVA was stocked this morning. NCS has never offered this game before and we'll post a review and screenshots in Monday's update. Orders may be submitted today although the game will be added to the on-line store over the weekend. Pricing is set at US$29.
   Third party replacement PS2 shells are now available in Hong Kong and Asia Major. The idea was fine for the PS1 and DC but the PS2 replacement top shell looks...dumb, for lack of a better word. Needless to say, NCS will not offer this product and looks for it to die a sudden death in the market.
