Update: August 8, 2005
«©NCSX» Over the past three decades, telephone book sized issues of Shonen Jump have captured the imaginations of millions of Japanese children and adults with the adventures of Naruto, Dragonball, One Piece, Bobobobo, and countless others. Developer Ganbarion takes 27 wildly popular (and a few obscure) manga series and present over 150 characters in manga tapping to onscreen fighting action. Over 600 snippets of actual manga culled from the pages of Shonen Jump appear on the lower NDS screen while a motley assortment of fighters bout it out on the top screen. Tap the manga and watch as top shelf Shonen superstars mingle with B, C, and D-listers in a dream game where all-out combat takes place on multi-tiered battlefields. Naruto crew perform their special chakra attacks, the DBZ gang do their saiyan thing, and Bobobobo whips out the nose hairs for mass damage. View the back cover and screenshots.

UPS delivered all of our shipments of NDS Jump Superstars this morning and we were able to ship ALL Express Mail shipments today. All UPS overnight shipments have also been changed to Express Mail. USPS Priority Mail shipments have also been dispatched. If you have selected these services, tracking numbers have been emailed to you a few hours ago. Please note that the USPS will make a delivery attempt on Sunday or Monday. Tracking updates during the weekends with USPS are pretty bad but be assured that all packages were dropped off before 2PM EST today. All other UPS shipments will be sent on Monday. We did not receive 1:1 Jump Superstars bonus booklets but roughly 1/3 of our preorders will include the booklet. It's covered by a dust jacket and the pages are nice and thick... like cardboard. Flipping through it this morning, there's a bunch of artwork of the 27 Shonen Jump properties featured in the game including Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Death Note, Dragonball Z, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, and Rurouni Kenshin. The back page of the booklet contains the logos of every manga for a neat compilation. Update: August 5 2005
Paying for performance, settling for mediocrity We tried to get an early shipment of Jump Superstars into customers' hands by having them shipped as soon as distributors in Tokyo were allowed to pick up the game. However, when the weak link from Japan to New York fails, there's little we can do when flights are delayed because of "mechanical reasons." We're assuming that it was too difficult to move urgent worldwide express packages to another plane that didn't have mechanical problems. Maybe the first plane should have been checked for mechanical problems last week. Maybe not... that would have required too much effort. Our shipper in Japan had the foresight to mark the shipments for Saturday delivery but based on the reasons given for the delay in UPS' tracking system, we doubt that they'll make a Saturday delivery attempt. That would require too much effort. If some miracle occurs and the shipments do arrive tomorrow, we'll proceed as follows: 1) Express Mail shipments will be sent for Sunday delivery
2) UPS overnight shipments will be changed to Express Mail and sent for Sunday delivery
3) All other UPS shipments will go out on Monday. Jan Code: 4902370512229 This document is ©NCSX 2005. All rights reserved. No reproduction in whole or in part of this document may be made without express written consent of National Console Support, Inc.
