NEWS General Updates

Nintendo 3DS Preorders    Some Japanese suppliers opened up preorders for the Nintendo 3DS last night but the quantities were dismal and the prices were high. We asked for some quantity but it's not clear if our preorder made it in time since the solicitation came in during the wee hours of the morning. We should receive a confirmation tonight and if we were able to snag any, we'll start preorders tomorrow. We'll also list the 10 launch games for preorder tomorrow which include three versions of Nintendogs + Cats, Street Fighter IV 3D, Sengoku Musou Chronicle, Ridge Racer 3D, and Layton Kyouju To Kiseki No Kame. A slew of accessories are being offered by Hori but we'll cherry pick any worthwhile ones and throw them up for preorder tomorrow.    As mentioned last week, the Japanese Nintendo 3DS is region-locked so that it can only play Japanese 3DS game cards and software downloads. Please note the region limitation before considering a preorder. Thanks.

Xbox 360 Arcana Heart 3 HRAP    If anyone is interested in ordering the Xbox 360 version of the Arcana Heart 3 HRAP, it's available again as of last night from distributors who offered it for restock.

Fast Striker    A replacement shipment is being sent from NGDev this week using our import account since the first shipment appears to be lost(?)

Import Software Delays    Spike has pushed the release date of PS3 Samurai Dou 4 from February 17 to March 3, 2011 and Atlus has delayed PSP Persona 2 Tsumi from March 3 to April 14, 2011. All preorders are being kept intact and will be processed upon arrival.
