Smbu, what new piece of hardware/software did you bought this week for us to drool over


Sure, green Dsi XL is good, but I wound't trade my bronze one for nothing, you'll have to try harder!

I haven't gotten much of anything as I've been playing DQM: Terry. On the weekend I went to a shopping center and at the videogame/cd/dvd/bookstore there, they were giving out a rare DQM monster via streetpass/spotpass? Outside the place there were close to 100 people and more inside just sitting there with their 3ds systems! They had a special area cordoned off for it. It was nice because you could also get rare monsters from other players as well with streetpass. My gf and I were there for about 20 min on our 3ds'.

I'll take my green one thank you!

I did pick up this Galaxy Express 999 DS game, the premium box version. http://www.culturebrain.co.jp/999/ I found it for pretty cheap under 2,000 yen new (considering it's original 9,990 yen price!) The small figures are so-so, but I am using the little lcd clock. Haven't tried the game yet.

I would appreciate if you can check every week some stores in Japan to see the situation about some games. For example, now I'm interested about DQM and Persona 4. Does DQM still have stock problems? What about Persona 4. Is it easy or difficult to find a copy?

Thank you very much.

 

Edit: WOW and I forgot Pokemon! Tell us if the game has stock problems and how long are the lines to get the game. Thaaanks

I can't speak for the whole of Japan, but here where I live (Eastern) Hiroshima prefecture) Pokemon is mostly sold out.



Need something off Play-Asia? http://www.play-asia.com/

I've only been to two stores (both on Saturday, release day) and one was sold out, the other is a more "family oriented" place and they still had copies in the evening. Picked up a copy of Pokemon: Black 2, nice! I wonder how sales are at other stores?

My gf forgot to bring her 3ds and so she temporarily "borrowed" my green DSi LL to play Pokemon. 0_0

If Nintendo wanted to make a statement to investors and naysayers they would have made sure pokemon shipments were big. No shortages so that every last Japanese 3DS owner and then some could pick it il week one.

I cannot remember monster hunters first week, but look for it to be demolished.

...but MH3G is a 3DS game and Pokemon BW2 is a DS game. MH3G will still hold the highest 3ds game debut (for now), no matter how much BW2 sells. BTW doesn't MC usually separate BW into separate sku's?(or is that Famitsu?) One for Black and one for White, so Pokemon should have the #1 and #2 spots on the chart, I believe. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

.... at persona below Tokyo jungle. Obviously due to the size of the userbase it was going to drop hard. However this seems like it is going to be one of the biggest second week drops ever for a big title. Tokyo Jungle was at 36k last week and it's nigh on guaranteed it continued to drop so P4 is gonna be substantially lower than 36k if this holds out.

Nothing out of the ordinary JRPG drop... but I expected that not to happen to this game. I thought it was supossed to have legs (made of desperation... but still...). But I think 30k is possible.

I would say the ordinary jrpg drop is in the 70-80% area. Assuming Tokyo Jungle stayed steady at 36k (which would mean that game is performing insanely well) it would mean that at best Persona would be looking at around a 75% drop. So best case scenario gives it a normal drop. However I wouldn't be too surprised to see it go well over an 80% drop as it is very unlikely that Tokyo Jungle didn't see a reasonable drop.
