Where To Buy Japanese Video Games Online?
 

Got bored of searching for a thread with no luck and no replies so posted one of my own.

I'm looking for Tatsunoko VS Capcom for the Wii (amongst others. Namco x Capcom would be nice). I've tried amazon and ebay and its £55 with £14 PnP! Theres NO WAY I'm ever going to pay over £30 for a game (including PnP). I've got a freeloader so theres no compatability issues... That was a tenner off play.com

Is it just me or do videogames for the Wii really cost the equivalent of £55 in Japan?!

Any ideas guys? Remember to make sure that they will ship to UK!

There are sites out there (such as play-asia.com), but I don't think you'll find any better prices. Games are indeed expensive in Japan, and it's not gonna be cheap to send one half way across the world I'm afraid.

Play-asia is extorionate. Whats worse, they send their packages via UPS who charge air tax so its even more expensive when it gets here!

umm download it from net XD
edit:uh actually thats bad..dont listen to me:D

I always use YesAsia ... Mainly for books and films though, i have never bought a game from there, but i have never had to pay any tax when things have arrived like i had to with Play-Asia.

It's still pretty much 55 quid (it says 45 quid but i don't know if thats with shipping or not... probably not) but like i said at the very least i haven't had to pay any extra when i've received deliveries.

YESASIA: Tatsunoko VS. Capcom Cross Generation of Heroes (Japan Version) - Capcom, Capcom - Wii Games - Free Shipping

Well Lucas, that there link says free shipping meaning 45 notes is the cheapest yet!

The game must be a recent release or something cuz its the first time I've heard of it was today.. maybe it will come down in price if I wait till after xmas or something? Most games usually fall in price after they have been on shelves a few weeks..

Can anyone beat Lucas with their fave "buy from japan" website?

lol, so it does!

*note to self - Remember to read things properly*

stuff it, got it for 45notes on yes asia. Thanks Lucas. This discussion is still open though, so if anyone knows any other good websites, please let us all know!
