PS3 No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Sales for No More Heroes on the Wii were below expectations. NCS anticipated much more interest for a game by Grasshopper but maybe the stars weren't aligned properly. How any gamer could resist a protagonist named Travis Touchdown who wields a "Beam Katana" may be one of the great mysteries in this life.
One way to get more sales for a game is to release it on other platforms and that's what publisher Marvelous is trying this week. First up is the PS3 conversion which is subtitled "Heroes Paradise" which features new voice acting, more event scenes, and a special mode dubbed "Very Sweet Mode," which is an easy level for beginners. Under certain conditions, the female characters in the game appear in bikinis, belly shirts, and generally show as much skin as possible without getting slapped with public lewdness citations. Early preorders will ship with a bonus erotic portrait collection that's being given away in 50% ratio by the publisher. The "erotica" shows the heroines from the game in scanty clothing and bikinis. Basically, they'll be strutting their stuff.

PSP Soukoku no Kusabi - Hiiro no Kakera 3 Portable LE - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Originally released in 2008 on the Playstation 2, Soukoku no Kusabi HNK3 is an Otomate boy's love game where a female protagonist interacts with male consorts and compatriots. The heroine from the original Hiiro no Kakera - Tamaki Kasuga - returns to the role of protagonist who investigates a mystery in the village of Kifumura. One summer day, all of the villagers disappear and only members of the Tamayori family remain. Tamaki endeavors to discover what happened to the villagers and receives help from a number of boys (Mahiro, Ryo, Shinji, Suguru, Takuma, and Yuichi) who lend her a helping hand.

Similar to other boy's love games, the interaction is limited to pressing a button in order to move the story along. Since mindless button tapping is tedious, an AUTO function is available so that the story progresses without any button tapping. Due to the limited interaction, Soukoku no Kusabi can be considered a digital visual novel where the story follows preset pathways. The limited edition includes two bonus items as follows:

1) Drama CD
2) PC Desktop Accessories Disc

TOYS Rockman & 1-Up Bearbrick Set - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Rockman's been around for ages but he's changed through the years with newfangled renditions in Rockman X, Rockman Zero, and Rockman EXE. The recent Rockman & 1-Up Bearbrick Set in Medicom's Kubrick & Bearbrick (#262) product line places the blue knight squarely in his original 8-bit Famicom persona.
Rockman measures 7cm or 2.75" tall and is tinted two shades of blue. His boxy body is painted a light-blue while his helmet, hands, and feet are colored navy blue. His expression appears to convey angst... or gas. In addition to the Rockman figure, Medicom also throws in a transparent-blue Bearbrick who has a Rockman tattoo on his chest. Preorders have shipped yesterday and new orders are welcome to ship today. «Photo Gallery»

Wii Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Import Preorder

From the Publisher
Super Mario Galaxy 2, the sequel to the smash-hit galaxy-hopping original game, launches May 27 for the Japanese Wii console. The game includes the amazing gravity-defying, physics-based exploration from the first game, but is loaded with entirely new galaxies and features to challenge and delight players. On some stages, Mario can pair up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi and use his tongue to grab items and spit them back at enemies. Players can also have fun with new items such as a drill that lets our hero tunnel through solid rock.

Launch into a new universe of gravity warping worlds in the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time! Yoshi joins Mario as they traverse a wild variety of galaxies exploding with imagination, helping out our hero as he gulps enemies, runs at super speed, or inflates like a blimp to reach high cliff tops. Whether Mario’s leaping into orbit around tiny micro-planets, tumbling through rooms with constantly flip-flopping gravity, or drilling through craggy worlds to emerge on the other side, he’ll need new abilities and serious jumping skills to survive the all-new challenges ahead! Preorders are welcome to ship on May 27, 2010 at JPY5800 or US$63.90.
