GBM Famicom Micro JPN
 GBA Gameboy Micro - In Stock
   Measuring a miniscule 10 x 5 x 1.7cm in dimension or 4 x 2 x 0.7" for us Yanks, the Gameboy Micro matches the size of one of our new Casio Exilim cameras nearly perfectly. The backlit screen on the Micro is slightly smaller than a standard GBA but it's remarkably crisp, bright, and sharp. The buttons on the Gameboy Micro are also the softer tactile type as seen on the original GBA instead of the buttons used on the GBA SP. The headphone port is also built-in so players won't have to shell out another $10 for an adapter.
 
 

GBA Dr Mario & Panel de Pon JPN
 GBA Dr Mario & Panel de Pon - In Stock
   Part of the Mario 20th Anniversary celebration this week, Nintendo crams updated versions of Dr. Mario and Panel de Pon into one Gameboy cartridge. In Dr. Mario, viruses are on the loose and multiplying as each level is conquered. To remedy the infestation, colored pills are falling in single-serve does and Dr Mario has to arrange them so that they lie in contiguous colored lines of four vertically or horizontally. Once set, the viruses pop from the screen and disappear. As higher levels are tackled, more viruses are in play and the colored pills fall downwards faster. In Panel de Pon, <more>

GBA Super Robot Wars J JPN
 GBA Super Robot Wars J - In Stock
   Forgive the no-frills, static title screen of SRW J, it gets much better once the game begins. At the outset choose from a male or female character to start as your protagonist and choose a representative mech from three possible types which vary in HP, ENERGY, and other attributes. Animation quality of the battles is impressive with full screen action coupled with throbbing + vibrant sound effects and incessant music.

NDS Gyakuten Saiban JPN
 NDS Gyakuten Saiban - In Stock
   Up 'n coming attorney, Phoenix Wright, knows his client is innocent of the charge of murder. However, no one else in the courtroom has his knowledge or unwavering conviction. It's up to Phoenix to prove his case by questioning witnesses, uncovering falsehoods, and highlighting discrepancies that will absolve the defendant of murder. Phoenix may also stalk out onto the field to search for clues and evidence outside the court room in a dual role as a sleuth. There's also a game sequence where fingerprints are collected and examined to verify or deny the whereabouts of a suspect. When interacting with fellow characters, the screen will shake and rumble in an effort to liven up the conversations and provide some kinetic action amidst all the talking. A rival lawyer named Miles Edgeworth, supervisor Mia Fey, and <more>

NDS Tamagotchi JPN
 NDS Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisecchi - In Stock
   Lest anyone ever accuse Tamagotchi of being shiftless and lazy, know that the little monster is capable of handling the operations of a small shop. Upon starting the game, one of three Tamagotchi blobs named Kuchipatchi, Mametchi, or Memetchi may be selected as the onscreen entrepreneur and it's off to the cutthroat world of mom 'n pop shops and small business. It's possible to set up a beauty salon, a dental practice, a bakery, or a flower shop out of 10 possible businesses. Once the customers start rolling in, their satisfaction is achieved by performing well in mini-games which mimic a specialty service such as decorating a cake, applying make-up, arranging flowers, or cleaning teeth.

PS2 SSM4 Moushouden JPN
 PS2 Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Moushouden - In Stock
   Enter expansive battlefields once again where powerful warriors rally troops against legions of enemy soldiers. Eighteen generals are featured in the game but more leaders may be generated through the character creator where a customized general may be molded. As is common with SSM games, sometimes the masses of foes stand around looking at their shoes while the killing rages on around them. When riding on a horse, it is possible to slash downwards left and right to split open heads and kill soldier pedestrians. Enemies may rush up but once they're close, they don't press the attack en masse. We've wanted a berserker routine for a long time where enemy soldiers just go crazy and attack all at once like a pack of rabid dogs. To take care of the masses of enemies, sword slashes are okay but it's the multi-hit combos that clear the way.
   In the character creator, the general selection screen includes one face mod that looks like Brad Pitt and another character creation feature is the ability to bequeath a massive afro to a soldier or slap a bowl haircut on another. Players may create a male or female character and equip him/her with the appropriate or inappropriate body. Ten face and hair styles are available along with a variety of body types. When stalking <more>
 
 

PSP Ghost in the Shell SAC JPN
 PSP Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex  - In Stock
   Motoko, Batou, Tachikoma, and other main cast members of Ghost in the Shell venture in a PSP version of GITS where the lady cyborg and friends shoot their way through 3D arenas interspersed with movie shorts. As one wanders the corridors and outdoor arenas, one sees the gun on the lower right corner of the screen as it stutters out blasts of artillery. Switch to Tachikoma and multiple guns are ringed around the viewing screen which blast in a cacophony of buckshot. When firing inside a building, each discharge will light up the walls directly in front of Motoko for some neat lighting effects. A targeting crosshairs sits dead center on the screen to mark the spot where bullets are destined to fly. The motion of the game is fairly smooth with walls flowing by quickly and without lag. As Motoko or another protagonist walks, the screen gently bobs up and down to <more>
 
 

PSP Winning Eleven 9 UE JPN
 PSP Winning Eleven 9: Ubiquitous Evolution  - In Stock
   The mightiest soccer simulation on the planet has enjoyed domination on the big consoles but there was never a portable gaming machine capable of handling its polish and refinement faithfully. Until now. The PSP churns its little CPU heart out running the smooth and beautifully animated action onscreen as soccer players wrangle, run, and strut on the field. Lifelike animations are the order of the day with close-up shots of players' antics when they've scored a goal. When the action gets intense on the field, the roar of the crowd intensifies to add to the excitement.

   The game features a total of 136 clubs from 57 nations represented with team uniforms clearly discernible on the PSP screen. The camera keeps a close eye on the action but an overhead map which shows the color-coded position of every player on the field is located directly below the main game screen for keeping tabs on team mates. Two players may link up for portable soccer competitions when the yen for footy strikes. The PSP version may also be linked to PS2 Winning Eleven 9 for data transfer and exchange of teams and players.

   The intro to the game starts off with a little hand jive before the soccer players roll into action on the field with beautifully animated action of players jumping, kicking, exulting, and other actions. The cinema mixes some street soccer along with professionals doing their thing as the crowd <more>
