Capcom Generation Vol. 04 is now in stock for the Sega Saturn (US$50) and the Sony Playstation (US$50). The volume contains Commando and Gunsmoke, both from 1985 and Mercs which hails from 1991. All three are run 'n gun type shooters where you take control of a gun toting hero who has to mow down legions of enemy grunts. In the case of Gunsmoke, the action takes place in the wild west with shanty town backdrops and end of level bosses who have bounties on their heads. CG4 is a fun little volume that should keep trigger happy gunslingers busy over the weekend.

A collection of Sakura Taisen keychains has now been posted up. These are licensed from Sega / Red and were originally released about 3 months ago.
A variety of restock items arrived today and special orders received over the past two weeks will ship this afternoon. Since there is still interest out there for Super Famicom cartridges, NCS will post a listing of available stock that we can still source from Japan on Monday. Super Famicom Junior and Super Famicom consoles are still readily available but prices are currently high for the units. Since the yen has been steadily eroding against the dollar, we expect unit prices to gradually return to normal levels over the next week or two.
AC adaptors (US$20) for the Neo Geo Pocket handheld have been restocked today. Tsunagete no Pon, Melon Chan Diary and Neo Cup 98 (all US$33) have also been restocked. Reservations on hand will ship today. NCS is currently sold out of King of FIghters R-1 but we have a large shipment expected next Wednesday. Remaining orders for that cartridge will ship as soon as the stock arrives.

NCS wishes all a fine weekend
