Early Import Releases Tomorrow; Japanese Holiday

NDS Mitsukete! Keroro Gunsou, PS2 Fantastic Fortune 2: Triple Star [Best Hit], and PSP Eiyuu Densetsu Sora no Kiseki SC were originally scheduled to arrive today since they were released early to Japanese distribution last Friday but our shipment was delayed a day. The three games will arrive tomorrow and all preorders will ship on Tuesday.

Today was a national holiday in Japan known as Autumn Equinox Day (Shubun no hi) where families visit the graves of relatives and pay their respects. Families burn incense and leave offerings of flowers and ohagi which are rice balls since the traditional view is that the spirits of our ancestors prefer round foods. In other words, hamburgers are anathema.
