There's already a couple of Player's Choice titles on the GameCube and Gameboy Advance, and they happen to be some of the best titles on each of their respective platforms. Getting quality at a cheaper price is always a treat, so why haven't we seen Nintendo introduce this on the DS yet? Taito has already gone ahead and issued some of its games at rock-bottom prices for the DS over in Japan and now Konami is following suit with 3 games of its own. Ganbare Goemon (Mystical Ninja), Castlevania, and Survival Kids will all be released with a new price tag of 2940 yen, which comes to about $25 US, by Konami over in Japan on 6/29.
Konami rides the budget wave

That's nice to hear. Let's hope it makes it to western shores (and continental regions, too.)

I just want Ganbare Goemon! Toukai Douchuu to come to the US! I don't wanna have to import another Japanese title (I've already Famicom Mini Ganbare Goemon! and Kessakusen! Ganbare Goemon! 1+2 on GBA... Yes, I'm a bit of a Mystical Ninja fan...)...
But, if it doesn't come over, at least it'll be cheaper to import...
