PS2 Winning Post 5 Maximum 2003

   The latest Winning Post game from Koei introduces a new feature where players may choose the type of farm owner one wishes to start off as. Choose from a humble proprietor with a small farm or vault to the echelons of horse barons with a sprawling empire under your watchful eye. Two other owner types may also be chosen which affect the play variables of the game.
   Updated game information on the horses, jockeys and recent news has been integrated in the database. In addition to horse breeding and training, jockeys may also be groomed into fighting shape to aid and abet your racing winnings. Horse racing data from previous Koei horse games such as Winning Post 5 Maximum 2002, Horse Breaker and GI Jockey 3 may be ported over. 
 
 

  TOY Previews

   Yujin announced a motley assortment of capsule toys shipping in August 2003. Capsule toys generally range the spectrum of trite gimmickry and we're treated to figures, keychains, jewelry and other assorted trinkets. NCS posts up three today that were somewhat interesting to look at. We only expect to stock the Vampire Saviour v3.5 capsule figures since Capcom characters have global appeal.
   Also posted up today, two Monsterism figures which measure 16cm tall or roughly 7.80" which is a far cry from the tiny Monsterism toys we stocked a few months ago. NCS is undecided on whether or not we will import the Monsterism figures since its brand awareness is nearly nil in our core markets.

  NEWS Fire Pro Wrestling Z Release Delay

   Due to a 1-day release delay, our shipments of PS2 Fire Pro Wrestling Z are now expected on Friday morning. Unfortunately, the game will not be distributed to Japanese suppliers until tonight due to what one supplier termed "street date issues." There was also a little hullabaloo in Hong Kong overnight where none of the distributors were able to stock it due to a "copyright issue."(???) Never mind that every other Spike wrestling game has been released and given to us earlier than scheduled in previous years...
 
 

  TOY Import Restock

   A number of Japanese imports were restocked today. NCS also received the Vib-Ribbon t-shirts a little over a week ago and we'll post up an update once we get a chance. Trading has been fairly brisk these past few weeks which has stolen our available time for covering some recent arrivals.
   NCS expects to receive a much-delayed shipment of PS2 King of Colosseum Red, Gundam G-Saviour, DC Frame Gride, Cosmic Smash and GBA Zoids Saga, Hajime no Ippo by Friday morning if the Fates allow it.
