TOYS Street Fighter II Imagination Sound Game - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The sweet sounds from the original version of Street Fighter II still reverberate in our heads (not really, but pretend with us just this once) and Capcom's landmark fighting game went on to spawn a whole generation of fighters. Fast forward two decades and Street Fighter's still going strong so Bandai pays love and respect by releasing the Street Fighter II Imagination Sound Game which is being sold in three variants:

» Black - Features the voices and grunts of Ryu, Blanka, and Sagat
» Red - Listen to the utterances of Ken, E. Honda, and Guile
» Blue - Chun-Li, Dhalsim, and Balrog sound off

In addition to the sounds of SFII, an imaginary game of Street Fighter II may be played. Press the "P" button and the SFII theme song starts chiming and that's your cue to mash the buttons and perform semi-circle moves on the D-Pad to simulate fireballs, dragon punches, and helipcopter kicks. If your button mashing is satisfactory, you'll receive a "You Win" congratulatory message. If your button pressing performance is below par, you'll get a "You LOSE" message from the announcer. Such are the spoils and disgraces of war. All orders are shipping today. «NCS Gallery»

PSP Last Ranker - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Bored with the tedious traditions amongst his nomadic people, a fighter named Zig decides that he'd rather fight for glory than follow the path of an ordinary Cantelera life. Zig wants to reach the top of the brawling pecking order in the Bazalta military organization which is the largest in the world at 100,000 members strong. Before he can ascend to the throne however, he has to defeat the elite Knights of Seven. Ranked by their position within the Knights, the first fighter that Zig has to beat is called the "7th Ranker" and she's a ginger with moxie.

Taking on the Knights won't be easy and Zig has to fight his way through the rabble first before getting a shot at the seven members of the echelon. To rise up in the ranks, Zig enters "Ranking Battles" where a win notches him one rank higher whilst a loss docks him by a rank. By diligently fighting competitors and scaling higher in rank, Zig eventually gets to show his mettle against the Knights of Seven.

Capcom's Last Ranker isn't a fighting game. It just sounds like one. Ranker is actually an RPG with simulated action sequences where attacks and defensive measures are triggered by button presses. The fighting isn't Tekken-esque but turn-based with moves, special attacks, and sword styles chosen by the player during each round. Early preorders will include a bonus Last Ranker Piano Trio Arrange soundtrack that's being given away by Capcom in 30% ratio. Reservations are welcome to ship on July 15, 2010 at JPY5800 or US$62.90 from NCS.
