| DDR
Hand Controller |
Scan |
| You
don't want to dance because you have no rhythm and the competition is tough. However, you
still want to participate in the dancing revolution that's storming the globe. Konami's
solution is the DDR Hand Controller, a neat little controller that sports
a pair of mini directional pads (well, buttons arranged like the dancing pad) on the face
of the controller. Future compatibility with DDR 4th Mix is assured thanks to the
directional NE and NW buttons. In stock US$39. |

| Mysterious
Dungeon Furai no Shiren 2 | N64 |
Scan |
Another
Super Famicom classic graduates to the Nintendo 64 with gameplay and themes that mirrors
the original closely. Shiren, your wandering character, enters a village and befriends the
denizens. A short time passes and a horde of demons passes through the same way,
disrupting life and causing strife. Their intention is to lay the village to waste.
As the hero, your task is to build a castle and protect the village from the
destruction planned by the demons. Visit mysterious dungeons and gather elemental
construction materials to build the stronghold and later use as a base of operations from
which to repel the invaders. In stock US$68. |

Puyo Puyo 4 | GBC |
Scan |
|
The scenario remains the same. Arle, Puyo Puyo player extraordinaire, travels the land and
encounters various characters and beasts who challenge her skills to a round of puzzle
action. The tinted blobs are known as puyos and they fall in pairs from the top of the
screen. The aim is to stack them in groups of four to make them shimmer and disappear. The
beauty of the Puyo game lies entirely in the chain reactions that one can link together by
clever arrangement. Knock out a four or five combination chain and your opponent is
toasted with an avalanche of transparent Puyos which ruin any arrangements already in
place. In stock, US$45. |

| Gpara
DVD Vol. 6 |
Scan |
The sixth
volume of the Gpara DVD magazine is in stock this morning and ready to ship to pre-orders
and subscriptions. As a reminder, this issue includes previews of 62 console games
expected this month. Each preview lasts about 30 seconds and gives a good idea of what
each game is about. A special feature on Mysterious Dungeon Furai no Shiren 2 checks out
the game, interviews the creators, and takes a look at the history of the game.
A new section of the magazine focuses on "Most Wanted" titles and
this issue touts Silent Scope, Eternal Arcadia, and Moto GP as the hot up 'n comers for
October. Finally, Technique Theater offers gaming tips on ten popular and recent games. In
stock US$19. |

imports. Some items have been added to the store already but the remainder will be
assimilated and updated by tomorrow morning.
The full complement of Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Playstation, and Saturn RGB
cables are available again as well. Please note that the N64 cable requires a minor
modification to your console before the cable will work properly but NCS will provide
details with your order. . |
There are treasures of stock waiting to be
unearthed in the distribution warehouses of Japan and Asia. We started our inquiries a
couple of weeks ago and have hit some nice back stock quantities of "long gone"
software. |
| Downtime |
Blank |
| A critical
server was knocked out during the weekend and we lost chunks of the website. We're not
sure what happened but everything's backed up and we'll begin restoring everything this
morning. This dead server also affected e-mail but we'll go through what's been spooled
and attempt to download all of the messages by this afternoon. Due to this downtime, which
lasted about 36 hours this weekend and gave website visitors an error message, please
allow NCS an additional 24 hours to respond to e-mail queries submitted over the weekend. |
