Superbike Controller |

| Rev up the
handlebar and your Moto GP bike accelerates. Tap the brakes and your
rider slows to take the curve. Wiggle left and right to match the contours of the road and
move in tandem with the other riders on course. Hori's Superbike Controller is the first
specialized motorcycle accessory and the quality is good. It adds a level of realism to
motorbike racing that a Dual Shock 2 can't provide. Due to underproduction by Hori, NCS
can only supply this item to customers who have pre-ordered it. US$85. |

Dead or Alive 2 Regular |
Scans |
| The regular
edition of Dead or Alive 2 for import Dreamcast is available. Prior to today, NCS has only
supplied the limited edition to retail customers. The cover is different and the Venus
Digital Photo File is missing but the game remains the same with the energy, visuals, and
allure that we've all become accustomed to. Pricing is set at US$65 and pre-orders will
ship today. The limited edition is no longer available for restock. |

Geo King of Fighters 2000 |

Due to
heavy reservation volume during the past couple of weeks, NCS is closing pre-orders for King
of Fighters 2000 today. We anticipate a small surplus in late December when our
supply arrives but to keep quantities close to par with orders we have received already,
we are taking this action today. If we are able to supply additional units in December,
orders will open up again at that time.
SNK closed their own pre-orders for KOF 2000 last week and final production
quantities have been set. Similar to previous Neo Geo cartridges, only one supply will
make it to market with no reproductions thereafter. Many vendors in Japan no longer stock
Neo Geo wares so the aftermarket for this game will be fairly non-existent outside of MVS
cartridges and used cartridge sales. |
Due to limited and careful production quantities, pre-orders for Neo Geo
cartridges are usually closed months in advance of delivery. On the other hand, Dreamcast
and Playstation pre-orders are usually welcome up until the date of release. NCS will
finalize KOF 2000 pricing this week and an update mailing will be sent to customers. |
| Outlook |
Restock |
Two new
Dreamcast imports are expected on Wednesday: Neo Golden Logres and Sydney
2000. The former pushes pinball pinging action upon the public and the latter
recaps the olympic trials of this year. NCS also expects the DC Dream Eye on Wednesday.
Three new Playstation imports are due on Wednesday or Thursday: Dynamite
Soccer 2000, Fist of the Northstar, and Pocket Digimon
World Wind Battle. |
DC Bangaioh has been restocked today and previous
orders will ship today. New orders are welcome through the on-line store. Pricing
remains at US$58. |
