Hanshin Tigers Memory Card

NCS Product Synopsis
Original Update: July 25, 2003
«©NCSX» You ready for some Japanese baseball lore? No? Well, NCS is going to school you anyway.

   Way back in 1985 when 8-bit gaming was the rage, the Hanshin Tigers beat the Seibu Lions to win the pennant. The fans celebrated the occasion with what can only be described as berserker fervor which led the raucous crowd to Ebisubashi Bridge in Dotonbori, Osaka. It was there that a statue of Colonel Sanders (he of Kentucky Fried fame) was stolen from a KFC establishment and tossed over the bridge and into the canal below.

   For the next 17 years, the Tigers would never win the pennant again. It was apparent to everyone that the Colonel had been slighted and had cast a powerful curse against the Hanshin Tigers for the uncouth behavior of its fans. However, the curse lifted in 2003 when the Hanshin Tigers inexplicably clinched the Central League pennant by besting the Hiroshima Carp. To mark the occasion, a special limited edition Hanshin Tigers Gamecube was released followed by a limited edition Hanshin Tigers Memory Card for the PS2. We're selling the memory card today. Maybe they'll be worth something 17 years from now.

   The memory card is ivory colored and features a a grey thumbpad which makes it easier to grip. The familiar Hanshin Tigers logo is imprinted on the thumbpad to add value for collectors and fans. Please note: Japanese memory cards are compatible with any model of the PS2 from the USA, JPN and EUR.
