Okami Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 FIFTY?! Yeah, even though I still have my doubts of buying it...that's still $15 more than most DS games sell over here in America... Interesting that the game will be sold the day after the day it was originally predicted to be sold, however.
Guested Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I'm planning on buying it in Japan. But in all seriousness, I'm just relieved that it's coming out earlier in the fall rather than later in the fall. Edit: That's a pretty normal Japanese price for bigger games.

Well it does include the PokéWalker with nifty InfraRed technology.
Okami Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Well, then that makes more sense. It's sort of like what the DS Guitar Hero games were like, huh? (And I only know that because my sister bought it >.>) And it makes sense for PokeWalker to be $15 more...because it's like a gigapet or tamogotchi which were high priced way back when, too.
derrick Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Well i wonder if there will be two versons two with pokewalker and two with out so that people who dont want or need the pokewalker dont have to be forced into geting a more expensave one but maby that wouldent be a smart move money wise. But iam deffently imporeting soulsilver from japan and when it comes to the us get heart gold. I wonder if it matters which country the groundon and kyorger are from?!?
FLOOTENKERP Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 This is earlier then I expected. In only 3 months we will finally have the long awaited Gold and Silver remakes. I'm really excited, I can't wait! Hm, seems I'll only get HG since it is 50 dollars.
Guested Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 The price will most likely be higher, factoring in importing costs. By the way, that's pretty much just how expensive big name DS titles are in Japan. Other console games are more expensive, as well. For a reference, the recent Kingdom Hearts game for DS was around 5500 yen at most places I saw. Some were 5800. So I don't think this is a higher price just because of the IR and PokeWalker, I think it's a pretty normal price.
.:Loky:. Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Stop whining, here in Australia ill have to pay about $70 for it.
Okami Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Well, $50-100 is a lot for a person heading off to college, where any money gained can basically only be placed towards college needs...when your tuition alone costs more money than you've ever seen, let alone had in your posession, in a lifetime. And when you live in the land of the unemployed like I do, that money becomes even more precious, because you have to stretch it all the more. So I'm not complaining at all, I just have priorities over gaming I really am interested in seeing how the 'Walker turns out, though. I'm more excited about that then the game itself, it means I have a reason to walk around campus (Considering that I have a chance to get it over holidays or something...maybe if I were to get some GameStop money and wait for the US release?)
Ryou-Chan Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 i wonder how much it will cost here since it cost 300 thousand rp(about $30) and seeing the pokewalker package i think it will cost much more than that
Deities Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Already planned to import it. Just need to contact my Jap friend to sort it all out for me.
Espeon_LGS Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 i think i'm going to get them both on my flashcard but when its finaly in europe i'm getting tthe original game i just cant wait for games to come out to europe when i know when it allready out or know when its out in japan
