If so, what one(s) have you bought? Personally, I have gotten two. I just got Game & Watch Collection which is a Club Nintendo of Japan exclusive and is even rare there and I just bought Taiko no Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Master) on eBay. That one hasn't arrived yet but I can't wait to get it in the mail. I've seen videos of it on You Tube and it looks great! So, what about all of you? Any importers out there? What say you?

i imported jump ultimate stars. really really good game but needs a lot of reading, so you have to use an online faq that translates it. i also have naruto 4 ds its pretty good and doesn't need that much translation.

i think it's best to buy ones which don't need a lot of reading (unless of course you can speak japanese...) because i know i keep forgetting if i haven't played for a while.

Shabulia,

I got my Game & Watch Collection in the mail today! Brand new, sealed and everything. Although from seeing this I won't be opening mine ANYTIME soon. LOL.

Thank you Chris Kohler, you saved me the curiousity. Now, I can put a down payment on a house with this game in about 20 years, heart you.

J!US and Luminous Arc(Don't ask, but now I am stuck with both and English and a Japanese version XD, it's funny how the backside of both is completely different, yet the cover is the exact same)

I imported Jump! Ultimate Stars because it is basically a Smash Bros. type game featuring some of my favorite anime/manga characters. It has so many different intellectual properties that a stateside release would be a nightmare due to licensing issues. In other words, it would never happen so I imported it.

I know the Jump games. Cool! I was thinking of importing Metal Slug 7. But maybe not because I know it'll be cheaper when it comes to the US. But still, it'd be cool to have early.

US DS games are about $20 cheaper then EU games so I import lots of games. It also takes forever for some DS games to be released in EU.

With the DS, it's actually just a matter of finding an import title and playing it. You don't need some special device or modification. The DS is region-free so you can play any game from anywhere. To find import games, simply look for them online. EBay is a great place to find import titles. Play Asia.com is also a great site. Just look for import game dealers and you're in business. Sometimes import games cost a little more but it's well worth it if you are looking for something that isn't available to you where you live.
