Ouch! RM719 for a fat NDS and some extra goodies.

It's with a game and screen protector. Assuming a game there costs 150 and the SP costs 50...the DS itself costs 519. You have to remember that unlike the DS' we have with us now, this one comes with a warranty.....

oh well...
If NSMB costs RM179....I guess I should expect around the same price for similarly priced games. |

Good to hear they have Pokemon there lol. I hope they have Fire Red/Leaf Green there, for my DS. For D/P reasons
It's abit shocking that Pokemon Emerald is RM179......seriously, I thought it would be about RM130~ seeing it is a GBA game.... |

I've been there today.
Overall, I say the prices are acceptable, especially the GBA games (hey, come on, they're ori). Players Choice titles retails at RM99. Most games retail at about RM129 - RM159 (I found the ori Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon Red there at RM159.90, as well as various others like Mario Tennis, Super Mario Advance 4 (The one with SMB3) - these that we rarely ever see their oris over here) There was one notable exception in the price bracket. - Pokemon Emerald is at RM179. There is no other Pokemon versions there but of course you can order from them and they will try to cater to your request. [This of course also applies to all other games As for DS games, I noticed that first party titles like NSMB, Super Princess Peach as well as Wi-Fi titles cost RM179 (yes, even SPP). There were only two DS games at RM99, Big Brain Academy and Brain Age. The third party titles are roughly around RM129 - RM149, which is cheaper/more expensive compared to the usual places dependant on title. They are abit lacking when it comes to recent games - Mysterious Dungeon/Mech Assault was the latest there - I didn't see Harvest Moon, Hoops, Cooking Mama, none of these) Accesories wise I don't notice much, but I saw Hori Screen Protectors for DS Phat (RM49) as well as card cases and a pouch for the DSL. And : DS Phat = RM599, DSL = RM699 Thats about it for my report there XD EDIT: Oh btw, I saw Wario Ware Twisted there, but it was on display (1 only), I didn't see it in their racks.... Since there are so many people wanting WWT, just added this EDIT2: I kinda pity the salesperson there tho, the first question most people ask when she was trying to sell the DSes was "Can play pirated games ah"? (or any other similar questions) This post has been edited by Phoenix_Cypher_K1: Oct 9 2006, 04:09 PM |

QUOTE(Pr1me_Minister @ Oct 9 2006, 07:57 PM) Some burning question here. Went there myself and...3. Which version/region games they're selling? 4. Do the counter provide NWFC compatable Wi-Fi access point? (pwning customers in MPH isn't good for their business 3. USA region. It's ironic that the counter is official, yet the game boxes still say "Only for sale in USA, Canada and Latin America" 4. Nope QUOTE(ying123 @ Oct 10 2006, 10:37 PM) Newest Pokemon game there refers to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, not Diamond/Pearl...well..it is newest for the USA region anyway.This post has been edited by Phoenix_Cypher_K1: Oct 10 2006, 10:41 PM |

The booth is from Maxsoft, which is Singapore's official Nintendo distributor. So, it's gonna be that official.
And by the way, its Jusco XD |

Those Nintendo club things dont work unless you're a JP/US resident anyway.....Well..I know you can probably bypass all that with a fake address while registering there.
Anyways, support ori all the way ya |

Wow, I didn't figure that FR/LG will fall into Players Choice, but with the popularity of Pokemon, I guess that comes as no surprise.
