Probably, since the vast majority of buyers are kids which will still be the DS userbase in the next few years; anyway, anedoctal evidence: I've seen a lot of children playing with IE on their DSs on the beach; some Mario, and Prof. Layton.

These sites all have the game available for pre-order and accept international buyers.

http://www.cdwow.com/
http://www.thehut.com/
http://hmv.com/
Are they all reputable? I have no experience with any of them.

Thanks Nirolak for updating the thread title. I added links to five import sites in the OP. If anyone find any better alternatives, send me a PM.

Hmmm, they're only releasing it in August/September in UK? :/
I was hoping they'd localize Inazuma Eleven 2 in time for christmas (unlikely at this point yeah, but wasn't when the game first shipped-everywhere-but-UK-for-no-good-reason in January)

Good to see the title of the thread updated. Hopefully bring a bit more attention to the game. My review copy came through over a week ago, before Xenoblade Chronicles, in fact. I wonder why more sites haven't stuck up a review yet? Watch this, I bet I've bloody broken some embargo or something, haha ^_^

Oh snap!
Actually, I'm working as a lifeguard and, occasionally, as a babysitter (since Italian sea is not particularly dangerous).
Why is the game so difficult to play? While navigating the characters with the stylus on the field, I find them often just leaving the ball behind. Also, the different field placements make no sense to me and the stats and shit are barely explained.
I heard it was rare so I snagged it from an import shop, but I kind of have no clue what's going on.

It took a while before the controls clicked with me. Make sure you don't accidentally lift the stylus point while you're running with the ball. You can change the starting positions before each match and you don't have worry about the off-side rule when you're playing 4 vs 4. The stats are explained in the OP.

What did shipping cost? Their website only seems to make mention of shipping to EU countries?

Free shipping. I was a little surprised to get free overseas shipping, but whatever.

they're owned by WalMart.
\/\/ Point taken, but I guess I'm just saying they're not some Fly By Night - they're a major chain in the UK.

Yeah, but you should keep Inazuma in mind. Really cool game.Oxx said:

The review text makes clear that it's "7, knowing what we know now," not "7, objectively." It's also pretty good at explaning the concept to newbies.

I will hold you personally responsible if this game doesn't rock my socks, after all the hyping you've done.
(Not really, but I would I ever get a chance to try Moon...)

Man, my whole shtick is talking up games with significant barriers to entry so I never HAVE to get called out. If 2/3/4 or Moon ever come out here, I'LL BE FOUND OUT.
(No, seriously, this game's top-shelf. The most debatable thing is whether you like the equivalent of puzzle-like boss battles in role-playing games. The conditions matches have irked people, but I really like a lot of them throughout the series.)
Enjoy!

Buy this game, UK GAF!

Yeah, the Occult match is somehow the most difficult match in the game. Very bad difficulty spike.
Hey all, i was planning on getting this and have a GAFfer from Germany who is willing to sell me a used copy. Before I go through with the sale, I remembered that the 3DS is now region-locked. Will regular DS games from other regions still work on it or is that fubar too?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes, regular DS games will work, but the German version wont have an English language option.Meier said:
Good to know about the game itself still working. It seems like since the Euro and Pound are so close now it almost doesn't make sense to buy it used. I will let the guy who offered know the German version lacks English (he saw it in a Gamestop and offered to pick it up).slaughterking said:

Yeah, the dub quality invoked rather....nostalgic feelings.

Beat Occult finally, thanks to reading Ridley's posts earlier in the thread. Really want to post some more impressions but I don't get my laptop back from the repair place until tomorrow at some point and typing anything on my iPod touch is a massive pain. Will say all of chapter one had me grinning.

At first it's kinda confusing with all the multi tasking and understanding how to pass (and the timings to do so)
but it's a matter of keeping it up.

The most important things you have to internalize and use appropriately are one-two's and playing th ball into someones path. With that you can get a really nice and satisfying flow into your game, and you can outmaneuver the AI quite well.

Was pleasantly surprised to see an ad for this on UK TV last night! (ITV4 during the halftime Supercup final) I imported the Euro version at the start of the year but am really tempted to jump back into it now.

I'm tempted to sell mine and buy the UK version (yes, for coherency sake I only like UK boxes and manuals)JustAnotherOtaku said:
Or keep it and buy another copy; since I would have lented it to friends of mine if it weren't for the detail that there's only one save slot. (import->swap cartridges->keep UK boxart sounds nice)
