OST Hikari no Senshi 4 Original Soundtrack - New, In Stock

2009-11-20T12:17:00.003-05:00

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» There's one word that isn't used much in the entirety of New York City and that word is "delighted." It's a perfectly good word but "delighted" just isn't in the daily lexicon of the Big Apple. Can you imagine a street food vendor saying, "I'm delighted to serve you a falafel from the confines of my humble food cart?" We can't. Earlier this morning, the word "delighted" was conjured upon hearing the second track titled "Horn, the Home of the Wind" on Square's Hikari no Senshi 4 Original Soundtrack. The first track "Four Warriors of Light" didn't elicit much of a response since it's the same old staid Final Fantasy theme that we've heard throughout the years. Track 33 "Crisis by a Hair" made us feel as if Armageddon was nigh.

The soundtrack contains a total of 41 tracks; although not all of the tracks are delightful, the OST provides an enjoyable Final Fantasy aural experience.

PSP Hexyz Force - Recent Import, In Stock

2009-11-20T12:11:00.002-05:00

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The land of Beruge is divided into two halves - one side is continually lit by the sun whilst the other is under perennial darkness. On the side of the light is a 17-year old priestess named Cecelia who works as an apprentice in the Beruge Temple. Cecelia's mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by her father who's a high-priest in the Temple. On the dark side of Beruge, an elite knight named Levant von Schweizer leads his compatriots under the banner of the Empire. Although the two protagonists start their adventures under different circumstances and on opposing sides of Beruge, they'll nevertheless team up in their respective quests.

Hexyz Force is an RPG that gives players the reins over Cecelia or Revanto at the outset and each protagonist goes through a unique storyline that eventually unites the two in a cooperative mission to defeat a dark overlord. The two heroes command a motley yet mighty cadre of warriors known as the Hexyz Force whom are arranged in 3 x 3 battalions on the battlefield to tackle monsters and opposing forces. The attacks are turn-based with the party members getting a chance to strike or use magic in every round against a contingent of enemies. Each blow or magic blast is shown with a short animated sequence which conveys some semblance of conflict during the skirmishes. After each successful encounter, a "Triumph" screen appears which tallies experience gained and any level-ups for the characters. The Triump screen is accompanied by the words "The Hexyz march onward in victory, their hands held high" which scroll on the top and bottom of the screen.

NDS Monster Finder [Japanese Nintendo DSi Only] - New, In Stock

2009-11-19T12:15:00.001-05:00

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Remember a series of games called Monster Farm? We do but mainly because we still have hundreds upon hundreds of copies of the games in our warehouse. In Monster Farm, players inserted a music CD, game CD, or data CD into the Playstation console in order to generate a unique monster. The new Nintendo DSi-only title Monster Finder also uses a special gimmick to generate monsters. Take a photo of any object, person, or place and the Monster Finder software will analyze the image and generate one of 150 monsters based on the picture. We're thinking it's based on color balance and pixel positioning... Early preorders will ship with a bonus Monster Finder carrying pouch in 40% ratio. Please note that this game can only be played on Japanese Nintendo DSi handhelds.

Wii Calling: Kuroki Chakushin - New Import, In Stock

2009-11-19T12:11:00.001-05:00

From the Publisher
CALLING brings new heights to the horror genre, with a breath-taking control system that immerses the player into its nightmare scenario. The player begins the game trapped in a strange room, with the Wii Remote doubling as the on-screen protagonist’s mobile phone. Using a torch to scour the dimly-lit area, players will also receive mysterious calls to their handset, which are answered by raising the Wii Remote to their ear. From this simple basis, CALLING then ramps up the fear, as a ghostly voice speaks directly to the user…

The story revolved around the urban legend of the ‘Page of Black’ website. Rumour has it that anyone accessing the site will die from a coma brought on by an unknown cause. The site is a simple black page with a numeric counter in the centre, but is linked to a low-key chat room. Not everyone can enter the chat room, but on doing so, the player’s psyche starts to receive calls from ‘Abyss’,. They then enter a state of limbo in a place known as ‘Border’ which is seemingly located between life and death. There are several areas in the ‘Border’, and they are inhabited by Spirits which start contacting its various feelings via the user’s mobile phone. Occasionally, these spirits will also attack the player.

TOYS Dragon Quest IX Smile Slime Tower Plush - Import Preorder

2009-11-17T12:10:00.003-05:00

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the original Dragon Quest games, the slimes were just enemies to be smacked and slain in very short order. In dungeon crawling lingo, the slimes were "cannon fodder." As the slimes grew in popularity and stature within the Dragon Quest universe, they began to take on other roles. There was even a couple of Dragon Quest games in which a Blue Slime played the part of protagonist. It was in Slime Morimori Dragon Quest where we watched a Slime ricochet off walls, squeeze itself into a puddle, and dash through dungeons. The Slime could even stack fellow Slimes on top of itself by dashing into the beasts to launch them upwards and then catching the falling beasts on the top of its head to make a tower.

Square Enix brings the Slime Tower to life with their upcoming Dragon Quest IX Smile Slime Tower Plush which features a Blue Slime on the bottom, an Orange Slime in the middle, and a Green Slime crowning the whole shebang. Preorders are welcome for a "Small" version (US$15.90) which measures 16cm tall and a Medium version (US$38.90) which towers 31cm in height. Reservations will ship in mid-late December 2009.
