In today's Daily Journal, Famitsu Wave magazine arrived on Tuesday and all pre-orders have been shipped. The CD-Rom enclosed includes playable previews of Brave Fencer Musashiden and Metal Gear Solid. We like Gear a lot. The game plays similarly to Resident Evil with a dark, somber atmosphere that permeates everything. No zombies though, just gun toting soldiers that fire on sight. NCS checks out both playable previews in today's journal.

With the Sega Dreamcast on many wish lists, NCS has already taken in over 200 pre-orders for the console. NCS feels that Sega can potentially supplant the Playstation as top console within a year of it's release in the Japanese marketplace. Logistically speaking, Sega has a lot of work to do but interest in Japan is feverish and we see quick adoptance of the console. The early release of the VMS is a master stroke that is fueling early interest. NCS also feels the N64 will be relegated to niche status within 6 months of Dreamcast's arrival on the Japanese scene.
