Import your games for cheap during Play-Asia's Easter Egg Sale

If you're keen on importing games, it seems like there's no better time than now. Play-Asia is having an "Easter Egg Sale," which means that all in-stock items that weren't released in the past thirty days are 20% off. The sale ends on March 31st, but you might not even want to wait that long, as items are going out of stock quickly. Some games that might be worth picking up:

  • Ouendan 2 -- $24 (it's been on sale before, but $24 is the cheapest we've seen it)
  • Taiko no Tatsujin - $39 (you've gotta love the cute little Taiko drum)
  • Arkanoid DS w/ Paddle Controller - $39 (yes, this is being localized for Europe and likely NA, but it's not too bad of a deal if you're impatient)
  • Paddle Controller - $16 (or, you can just get this -- currently only available in pink)
  • Archaic Sealed Heat - $16 (not the most import friendly, but you should be able to get by on a tactics title -- especially for this price)
  • Power Pro Kun Professional Baseball - $23 (one of the best baseball options for the DS)
  • Choushoujuu Mecha MG - $16 (mmm, mechas)
  • Daigasso! Band Brothers - $39 (another good rhythm game, with lots of instruments included)
Feel free to add any of your own import recommendations in the comments below.

Power Pro Baseball trailer and commercial knock it out of the park


A pair of videos for Power Pro Baseball Pocket have hit the net and they're chock full of gaming goodness. Heck, the promise of Wi-Fi Connect compatibility alone has us biting our fingernails down to the bone. A portable baseball game that's actually good? Are you kidding us? Yes, we're so down.

Check past the break for a Japanese commercial for the game.

Power Pro Baseball Pocket screens pitched straight at your eyeballs

With it being November and all, we're sad that we have to wait until April of next year before we can start enjoying baseball again. Sure, we've got baseball games to keep us company and help pass the time, but it's no substitute for the real thing. We'll be glad to have a game that we can turn on and go a few innings with no matter where we are, though. There are other baseball games on the DS to be considered, sure, but we've got our eye on this one, to be honest.

Any of you out there fans of the sport, as well?
