| SNK
has announced Last Blade 2 (US$278) for the Neo Geo
cartridge console to ship on January 28 and for the Sony Playstation (US$50)
to ship on February 25. Four new fighters join the regular cast from the original Last
Blade for a total of 16 warriors. Two types of sword blades will be featured in the game
to reflect a fighter's strength and skill. The Playstation version will include a special
illustration gallery and a fan artwork section on the CD-Rom. An opening animation that is
exclusive to the PS version will also start the game. Pre-orders may be submitted up until
December 20 for either version. NCS will update our Last Blade 2 information when the
Saturn and Neo-CD versions are announced. |

| Quantities are
improving somewhat and NCS will be able to bring in larger shipments this week. Prices remain
unstable but are unlikely to drop further this week due to the tight supply in the
distribution channel. All this could change on Thursday however if Sega ships another ~150K
units to Japanese retailers. |

| Portions of the
NCS website have been revamped. Some sections have not yet been completed so bear with us
as the updates are implemented. Eventually everything will change. Additional
modifications and work will take place over the next couple of weeks as we continue to
update the site. |
|
|
| A number of
incoming shipments are still delayed. One set of cartons has been held since they arrived
over the Thanksgiving holiday. Not exactly a confidence builder when we have large,
multi-piece, high value DC shipments coming in over the next couple of days. |

| A complete
listing of all the dolls, figures, and assorted errata in our inventory will be posted
tomorrow. |
