  Final Fantasy X-2

Japan
   All preorders for the JAPANESE territory version of FFX-2 are shipping today. We received 1 Yuna strap for every 4 copies of the game and we'll include them with the earliest batches of customer preorders. Pricing for the Japanese version remains at US$68. Please note that most orders will be packaged and ready to ship as of 11:30AM EST this morning. As such, we cannot accept any changes, additions or upgrades at this time unless it is an emergency of some sort. [View the back cover of the Japanese edition of FFX-2]

   NCS also received the ASIAN territory version of FFX-2 today but these will ship tomorrow morning to new orders. We won't ship the Asian version to anyone who preordered prior to March 14, 2003. We will contact customers who ordered after March 14 to see if they wish to order the Asian edition which is priced at US$58.
 
 

GBA

  Zelda: A Link to the Past + The Four Sabres 

Order
   A classic Nintendo game from the Super Famicom sees revival on the GBA and a new multi-player adventure is thrown into the mix to enhance value. Although gamers have long since purchased the USA version of this game, collectors will invariably grab the Japanese version with it's superior cover art and sleek cardboard packaging. Once you have both versions on hand, all you need is to accidentally bump into Miyamoto at E3 and have him sign your copies... [View the back cover]

  Sega Toys Summer Preview

Gallery
    With spring right around the corner and summer hot on its heels, Miss Narusegawa and Mizthang Urashima doff their winter coats and don the dainties. Naru slips into a pink two-piece while Kanako squeezes into a strained purple number. Inset photos show Naru in a pair of daisy-dukes and Kanako in a tee, which we assume are included in their respective shipping containers. Ogling at the photo, their legs seem longer, leaner than they were in the anime... or in the recent pair of bedsheets. Each figure measures 25 cm or 9.8" from heel to spiked hair.

  Anubis Limited Edition Photos 

Gallery
    The first Zone of Enders Limited Edition featured a plain gold box with the ZOE banner across the front. Konami's follow-up to the original game chooses orange for the box color and glittery gold ink for the menacing frame on front. Both boxes are roughly the same size so they'll complement each other in your stored collection.
   Sold exclusively through www.konamistyle.com, the limited edition of Anubis includes a 200-page book which details artwork, background data and information from the production crew. A placard which holds a bas-relief of an orbital frame and a music CD covered in an orange wrapper round out the other items in this hefty package.
   A natural question from curiosity seekers would probably be, "I can get the game for US$63. Are the bonus items worth the additional US$86 that NCS is charging?"
In our opinion, we would have to answer in the negative. The book is a fine addition to any ZOE fan's shrine and the orbital frame is a beauty but $86 is pushing it.
