Importing Japanese console games!
Play Japanese console games!
These days there are more and more games for consoles being made that never get released outside of Japan.Sony,Nintendo and now even Microsoft consoles are getting games that most people outside Japan will never see.
There are games of every genre that do not get released outside of Japan because of licensing issues,cultural differences and other reasons.And yet many of these games are compatible with consoles here.The Sony Playstation 3,Sony PSP,and Nintendo DS are all "region free" which means you can play games from any country,including Japan.
Two and a half years ago I came across an online company based in Hong Kong called that stocks ALL of these games.Brand new releases for all consoles are available on the same date as they are being released in Japan!In that time I've averaged a shipment from this company every two months,desperately trying to keep up with the flow of new releases in Japan.
This month the eagerly anticipated "Blazblue:Calamity Trigger" is being released for PS3 and XBOX360.A 2D fighting game made by Arc system works,the team responsible for the hugely popular "Guilty Gear" series.And NEXT MONTH......"King of Fighters XII" will be released!Again for PS3 and XBOX360.These two games I REFUSE TO WAIT FOR!All I need to do is order them and they will be winging their way to me from the other side of the globe within a few days (if I choose the express post option).
They have many different postage options.including insured post and tracking so I always feel confident that I will recieve exactly what I ordered.
I can't live without these guys,and if you are a collector of Japanese games or anime related toys and DVDs I strongly suggest you check them out.
