Nah, there's no such law. But they still release them on Saturdays to try and keep things from getting out of hand. Everything went smoothly with DQVII, and I'm pretty sure it'll be the same with DQVIII.

 

[Alcibiades]

I wonder how far Nintendo will distance the DS' release date from it just to be safe.

or how close to move in for the kill

 

[cvxfreak]

Hopefully this means a US release next June/July... and once SquareEnix USA has established the god damn thing here maybe we can Slime Morimori too?

I hate it when Square Enix thinks they can overcharge people for a game. I seriously hope that with a pricetag like that, people walk about with a GBASP instead.

Then again, the price likely won't affect many people at all. Ah well.

I predict utter chaos in Japan when Dragon Quest 9 comes out on PS3

that's the suggested retail..it'll be in the the 7500-8000 yen range I'd say. at least that's what amazon is getting anyway.

Yeah if you're in Tokyo.

Over here in Aomori the best a store will discount a game is 500yen off. So I'm sure it'll hit me for 9000yen here >_< With Amazon you have to add in shipping so it'll be near the same.

 

[Brofist]

I live in Osaka...but same difference really..should be under 8000 yen. Bummer about that price.

Doesn't Amazon offer free shipping? I know when I was in Osaka this summer, I ordered some book from amazon, and the shipping was free. Not just that, but I ordered on a Saturday, and got it the next day!

Yeah, amazon.com is free shipping for orders over 1500y. Try it! Ship it to your school, too, so it doesn't bounce. IT'S AWESOME!

Sounds good! I shall try this in November.

Nice looking poster.

Tales of Rebirth will bomb hard if Namco still releases it on December 1.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Doesn't Nintendo also sell the Pokemon games for a lot more than normal GBA games? If they can manage to squeeze a bit more from fans I am sure any company would try.

That's why ToR probably isn't coming out until next feb. Namco would be smart to put it smack between DQVIII and FFXII.

Not at all.

Pokemon Colosseum was 5800 Yen with a free Memory Card 59. Fire Red, Leaf Green and Emerald were 4800 Yen with free wireless adapters. If anything, they've been very rewarding lately.

 

[john tv]

DQVII sold for 7,800 yen and it sold over 4 million copies. The SFC DQ games sold for over $100 and sold millions as well. This price tag is nothing -- the game will still sell en masse to anyone and everyone.

GOTY baby. Can't wait!

How about Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire?

 

[Auron]

I predict this will be the #1 selling Japanese PS2 game of all time.

 

[Defensor]

I want that poster.

4800 Yen, just like most other GBA games. And I forgot to mention the tax break Nintendo gives gamers.

Square Enix is of the mentality that they could overcharge people, not Nintendo/Pokemon. 5800 Yen for FFTA, FFI+IIA, Slime Morimori and Sword of Mana is fucking ridiculous.
