I have some good news and some bad news. Good news is that the monster hunter 3 bundle is available in Japan. Bad news is that the system itself is limited and distributors aren't willing to let them go for cheap.

We don't have any systems at the moment, nor we plan stocking any until we can find a decent price. But we can source it for you if you need it right away. For clients that would like to order at the pricing point of $499.99, please email andy@japanvideogames.com to make arrangements.

Price - $49.99
Release Date: 7/30/2009
UPC: 4974365910716
Genre: Puzzle
Company: Sega
Version: Japan
-from wikipedia-

Puyo Puyo 7 is the next upcoming game in the Puyo Puyo series.

Currently, the characters confirmed to be in the game are: Amitie, Ringo, Arle, Carbuncle, Satan, Rulue, Draco Centauros, Skeleton T, Suketoudara, Raffine, Sig, Lemres, Feli, and Klug, along with new characters Maguro and Risukuma.

The release date is July 30, 2009 for Nintendo DS and winter 2009 for PlayStation Portable and Wii.

Starting on about February 12, Sega created a little teaser site promising information about a new game of theirs. Being that the only information given were silhouettes of a girl throwing an apple, most people didn't speculate much about what the new game would be. Still, the extreme similarities between the way the silhouette and PPF-style characters was enough to get some people hoping for a new Puyo game. The teaser promised more information at a later specified date.

Of course, as can be expected of SEGA, the big "reveal" ended up being another trailer teasing a few more graphics, the phrase "What's 247?", and another date to watch out for. This blue-balling cat-and-mouse game went on all the way until March 24th, when they released a final trailer showing distinctively Puyo graphics and characters, and a set date for a formal announcement in the April 3rd issue of Famitsu, and on its own website.

  • Arle and Carbuncle are now available as separate playable characters again (their tiny 16x8 icons can be seen in the screenshot on the left); it is reasonable to assume that Popoi will also be re-available in a similar fashion.
  • There is a new Daihenshin (Great Transformation) mode available which looks to be the staple of this game. It allows the player to switch into the Big Puyo or Small Puyo modes from Puyo Puyo~n for a limited time. Big Puyo halves the board size (in both directions) to 3x6 (as opposed to 6x12) and Small Puyo nearly doubles it to 10x20. The timers are also now allowed to go above the previous 30 second maximum as seen in the right screenshot. The Fever gauge has also been redesigned into a straight vertical line instead of the curved series of dots, though this is specific to Daihenshin mode.
  • The game looks set to be called Puyo Puyo 7 for its actual release.
  • Characters are available in two different styles: a highschool uniform style and a style based on previous games. Arle's outfit in this game is a combination of her YON and 15th outfits.
  • Carbuncle's design has reverted to his Madou design.
  • Skeleton-T is in the game. It's therefore likely that other Madou characters will also be brought in, just like in Puyo 15th, though only 6 characters from the Madou series were available in said game; recently, Draco has been confirmed to be in the game as well.
  • The shilouette seen on previous teaser sites is revealed to be a new character known as Andou Ringo, though this was revealed earlier in the fourth teaser.
  • There is one more style featuring the characters as infants.

Another product we received on our shipment is this DSi soft pouch. I personally prefer a soft pouch since you can put your game system in it but also put it in your pocket! Although this product does not have a place to store your games it makes up for it by being extra soft! We brought in a few of these not too long ago but these are a bit different in the way that they changed the design on the actual case. Looks much better if you ask me! Like i mentioned before, Taruga items sell fast and usually are very hard to restock on so if you are interested in this product you have to act fast!

Not only does it have a place to put your DSi or Lite, but it also comes with small pockets on the top for you to store your games without them flying around inside and possible scratching up your DS system! Taruga products are usually hard to re-order as they do not produce in very large quantities.

Genre: Pokedoll
Company: POKEMON CENTER
Version: JAPAN
Imported directly from pokemon center Japan. Pichu is as soft as it's pokemon center counterparts. If you were to do a soft-test, these kill the canvas plush. The tag is even something in itself, a pichu shaped tag. Pichu from foot to head is about 5". If you add in the ears, it's just over 7".

More Random Info about Pichu
  • Pichu, known as the "Tiny Mouse" species of Pokémon, are the pre-evolved version of Pikachu. They stand at 1'00" and weight 4.4 lbs. Their cheeks are pink, and they have small, plump bodies with short, jagged tails, and large ears. They are not skilled at storing electricity, so when amused or startled, they often discharge jolts of electricity strong enough to affect adult humans. This lack of control becomes more stable as they grow older. The electricity that they do manage to keep stored is limited by their small electrical pouches in their cheeks. When the air is dry or on stormy days, they charge much more easily, leaving the sound of crackling static electricity emanating from them.
