Capcom has announced Vampire Saviour EX (Dual Shock supported) for the Playstation which will ship on November 05, 1998. Pre-orders for the PS version will include a set of collectible trading cards.
Namco's arcade soccer hit Libero Grande is expected for the Playstation on November 26. Although the graphics are chunkier than what we saw in the arcade original, the preview version retains much of the speed and great control.

Neo Geo Pocket

NCS will resume partial retail shipments of SONYPS Metal Gear Solid Limited Edition next Monday. We do have one revision to the product offering however. Although the price of the Limited Edition (US$95) will not change, we ask that the customer purchase two original SONYPS memory cards (US$12) along with the MGS box. We are being forced to take 05 memory cards with each box and this will help us alleviate some of the additional product load. As an aside, NCS has over 600 units of the SONYPS memory card now available for sale at $12 each. Bulk memory card sales with discount schedules will be faxed to our resellers today.
Three new Playstation imports in stock on Wednesday

Y6800 games are now US$58 and Y5800 games are US$50

Kazenooka Technosoft US$50

A delayed shipment of Japanese import magazines has arrived today. Updates will be posted tomorrow although subscriptions will ship this morning. Restock on SATURN Radiant Silvergun is expected tomorrow.

Our shipment of Pocket Hello Kitty has cleared U.S. Customs and NCS should take delivery this Friday. A restock shipment of Dancing Parappa is also expected on Friday along with more VS Real Hero Morrigan figures. Bulleta remains missing in action but we hope she's found soon.
