Revisions, Please. |

unable to accept any order revisions as of now. All invoices have been prepared already
and packages have begun shipping out at 10:30AM this morning. We will process and dispatch
a large quantity of shipments this day and incoming revisions will impede efficiency.
Digging into a mountain of packages is also unwieldy and frankly, a little frightening. To
be fair to everyone and to be able to get all packages out on time, we cannot revise any
orders as of this morning. Thanks for understanding. |
All product links, scans and summaries for the new imports have been updated
below. Another twelve or thirteen new imports are expected on Thursday with the bulk of
them descending on the Playstation 2. |
| DC Bass Rush Dream |
Scans |
Deep in the
depths of any lake, river, or babbling brook, the denizens are hungry. Watching and
waiting for a sign of manna from the heavens, they flap their fins and hope for the best.
Your job as fisherman is to supply the bread of life to waiting mouths, betting that
hunger will overpower the threat of death and cause the fish to snap at your lure.
Bass Rush Dream is subtitled "ECOGear Powerworm Championship".
Virtual fisherman get a chance to lift up the rod 'n reel once more to battle with big
bass. An on-line mode is an option for internet fishing competitions. Skilled anglers get
a chance to show off their prize catches to awed crowds around the globe. The DC powered
visuals are photo realistic and serve their purpose to guide your hand into reeling 'em
in. |

Daytona USA 2000 |
Scans |
A rolling
start doesn't mean that you're on easy street. Sure, you're already on your way with a
sweet, shiny, muscular car coursing through the track like hot projectile butter. At the
moment when the race bursts open, you're the man but there are contenders. They
lock in front, behind and alongside your vehicle and they all want the same thing. Finish
line. First.
Sega unleashes their flagship arcade racing license on the Dreamcast with a
host of old and new circuits. The control is as solid as we remember it from the Saturn
and coin-op versions and Daytona has never looked better than this. In the push for
internet connectivity, an on-line play mode pits up to four players against each other.
Net rankings assure that leaders get their proper billing on the global stage. They're the
ones to beat. |

Detective Dash LE |
Scans |
| Anime
detectives are bound to run into semi-nude anime maidens during their escapades. It's a
tough job, but someone's gotta do it. Agyou Souma is our hero and an elite detective
registered with the International Detective License Association in Japan. Being such, he
is regularly sought out by damsels in distress who require his services. In this first of
what is expected to be many in a series, Agyou is recruited to solve mysteries, rescue
hapless clients, dodge bullets, and stake out locations. All this will play out in flick
screen and cinematic sequences which relay the action. Speaking to characters, such as
fellow gumshoes, is a requisite to obtain clues, decipher cues, and advance in the game.
The limited edition in stock today includes a Detective Dash Bible CD filled with voice
performances and other fanboy goodies. |

Last Blade 2 Final Edition |
Scans |
A night
under the full moon, two warriors fight and the clash of steel thunder echoes through the
countryside. The portal to hell quakes and her seals are about to be broken by the evil
Kagami. From Japan over, the mightiest swordsmen and women battle to keep the seals from
being loosed, thereby preventing the unleashing of hell on earth.
The Dreamcast version of this Neo Geo 2-D sword fighting game is marked as
the Final Edition. Game modes include story, versus, training, and time attack. Bonus
features on the disc pepper viewers with an art gallery, a demo viewer and the ability to
save matches to VMU for replay. A secret bonus is a hanafuda game, a Japanese card game,
with artwork by Tonko, the character designer for the Last Blade series. |

Never 7 ~ The End of Infinity ~ |
Scans |
| Seven people seek
love and companionship in the Infinity series of games. Earlier this year, Kid shipped the
simply named, Infinity, to a niche Playstation fan base. Yes, even in Japan, only a few
top tier dating games find a huge audience. Tokimeki Memorial is the standard bearer and a
beloved series but many others only do middling business, pushed aside by a glut in the
market or general disinterest in a discerning market. Infinity generally received
favorable ratings from the press and it sold well enough to engender a Neo Geo Pocket
version as well as today's Dreamcast release. A new chapter has been added to the game but
this is basically the PS version, ported over. New scenarios may be downloaded from Kid's
website in the future which will save to the VMU. |

Phantasy Star Online |
Scans |
One day,
perhaps this day, four brave adventurers from around the world will join together, venture
forth and slay some wicked beasts. They'll do this with the aid of a Dreamcast, an online
server, and a copy of PSO. During times of serenity, the crew will chatter about the news,
the new pin-up model, and other things while exploring the world they've ended up in.
Cooperation between the players assures that the mounting tasks ahead will be overcome and
conquered.
This first release edition of PSO includes a bonus Sonic Adventure 2
preview disc. Restock editions of PSO expected in the next couple of weeks will not
include this look at Sega's next big thing. |

Sonic Shuffle |
Scans |
Sonic and
pals pay homage to the age-old diversion known as the board game. Each recognizable Sega
character moves along the play board, the target being sparkling precioustones which are
the game's bounty. This is the treasure by which you will win a round if you're the mass
aggregator. A series of mini-games provide simple little diversions from the drone of the
board hopping routine and give players a chance to smack down friends and foes alike.
With the USA version of Sonic Shuffle already available for a couple of
months now, our sales for this title will admittedly be disappointing but we're suckers
for anything stamped with the Sonic moniker. |

Tokyo Bus Guide ~ FABBTC |
Scans |
| FABBTC
stands for the lengthy "featuring a beautiful bus tour conductor". Yes, the new
version of Tokyo Bus Guide features an attractive hostess who narrates during the trip and
chats about the various sites in Tokyo as you careen through the streets of the
city. Traffic is usually serene and those of us who are used to the rustle and bustle
of major metropolitan madness will find a soothing ride down a pristine digital city. No
taxi cabs to swerve around, no wayward, absent-minded pedestrians, and no road rage to
contend with. The package includes a slipcase that binds two jewel cases within. One is
the actual Tokyo Bus Guide game and another is a bonus that we haven't had a chance to
look at this morning. We'll update once we get a chance to inspect it further.

pre-orders that were submitted and confirmed by NCS over the past couple of days will ship
today. New orders are welcome on-line for dispatch on
Thursday and Friday, depending on how our Playstation 2 shipments flow tomorrow. The
latest Neo Geo cartridge weighs in at 688 megs and all of the favorite fighters return to
bout it out in teams of three and striker forces. We noticed that MVS prices for KOF
2000 dropped by about Y15000 overnight from some of our vendors in Japan. We figure that
the price deterioration will continue over the next couple of weeks despite the limited
supply of this AES version of the game. Everything gets chiseled down eventually in JAMMA
land. |

Bomberman Land |
Scans |
| A couple of
years ago, Bomberman found himself in a racing game, a tactics strategy game, a 3-D
adventure and a 3-D interpretation of the classic bombing action game that rules when four
players are ready to blast each other. He was versatile and applied himself well to new
genres. Hudson's classic character never fails to find himself in new situations. He's a
popular, unflagging hero and he celebrates his 15th anniversary with this collection of
Bomberman mini-games. There's BM baseball, simple puzzle games, card games, games of
chance, platform style interludes and the classic bomb your opponent to death maze game
that made the license a world beater back in the days of the Family Computer.

Kamen Rider Kouga |
Scans |
| Empowered
by grasshopper might and human know-how, Kamen Riders stake their claim to fame with
athletic moves, superhuman strength and the ability to communicate by telepathic radio
waves. The latest in the Kamen Rider fighting games continues with the Kouga version, a
half human, half grasshopper who is seen on the front of the game package. The theme is
3-D fighting, kitschy appearances, strangely plastic looking costumes, and all of the
cheesiness of 70s Japanese television. Fans of the series will undoubtedly snap this up as
they ate up all of the previous Kamen Rider fighting titles that have been popping up
lately. |
