Another Week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 4/14-4/20

Something caused a Phoenix Wright sales revival, and we suspect it was the Gyakuten Meets Orchestra concert (which was also a Gyakuten Kenji hype event). Both the first and second Gyakuten Saiban games for the DS ended up in the top thirty this week.

Newcomer We're Fossil Diggers (a second-party effort by RED Entertainment that actually sounds really fun, at least to the dinosaur lovers in us) deserves all the glory, though. Debuting at third place, this unique piece of software did rather well for itself in its first week.

Besides the same old games that have been showing up in the charts for the past few weeks, the other notable is Square-Enix's dull-sounding bookkeeping game. It seems like a rather niche title to end up in the top thirty, but who knows -- maybe a lot of Japanese folks are getting ready to take the Level 3 Bookkeeping exam. Or, maybe they just can't resist a game by the beloved Squeenix.

To see all the placings and numbers for yourselves, just click on past the break.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice for Even Less

We've featured sale prices for the second entry in the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney series before, but of all the markdowns, this is among the marked-downiest (on a new copy, anyway). For only $10.99, you can pick up one of the best games on the DS about lawyers solving murder cases with the help of teenagers who can summon the dead.

Even if you haven't bought the first game yet, you should get this one now, because this is the cheapest you'll see it ... until Amazon marks it down again! If you do already have the first game but stopped there for whatever reason, it's a good time to get back into it, because you can also get the third game, Trials and Tribulations, for a nice $18.99.

SecondSpin sale offers extra cheap prices for used games


Starting today until March 16th, preowned media retailer SecondSpin is offering customers free shipping and 20% off its used items. Unlike GameStop and Electronics Boutique, SecondSpin sells every game with the manual and box, so you won't have to worry about receiving an incomplete package. All you need to do to take advantage of the deal is use this coupon code: TWENTY314.

SecondSpin has too many available Nintendo DS and GBA titles (450+) for us to list, but we've put together a short tally of games that you might want to pick up.

Nintendo DS:
  • Custom Robo Arena - $13.79 $11.03
  • Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Justice for All - $12.99 $10.39
  • Scurge: Hive - $10.39 $8.39
  • Spectrobes - $14.99 $11.99
  • The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - $26.99 $21.59
  • True Swing Golf - $9.99 $7.99

  • Gunstar Super Heroes - $7.99 $6.39
  • TMNT - $14.99 $11.99

Circuit City glitch leads to low, low prices

Electronics retailer Circuit City has an ongoing deal in which you can get any two games priced at $19.99 for only $30, but, because of a recently discovered glitch during the ordering process, customers have reportedly received a $10 discount for each $19.99 game they've thrown into their shopping carts, bringing their total even further down to $20 for two items.

Though many of the online shop's $19.99 titles are currently out of stock, we've put together a short list of the DS titles available that you might want to pick up with this buggy bargain. We can't guarantee that your order will stick once Circuit City's management catches wind of this bug, nor can we say whether or not exploiting this slip-up makes you a horrible person, but here you go:
  • Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day
  • Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day
  • Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All
  • Sonic Rush
  • Spectrobes
While there are also a few GBA (as well as PS2 and PSP) titles eligible for this "deal," keep in mind that this glitch works best with two games from the same console.
  • Pokemon Leaf Green
  • Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis
  • Super Mario Advance

Phoenix Wright: Fourteen Bucks for All

The last time we featured a bargain for Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, Amazon was hosting a sale for the courtroom adventure title for $14.99, five dollars less than its list price. That was a pretty great deal for the Ace Attorney sequel, but recent developments in DNA testing and modern technology advancements have made it possible for the online shop to further increase its discount; Justice for All is now available for $13.99! Joys be thine!

Phoenix Wright: Justice for Anyone with 15 Bucks

Perhaps to celebrate Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations' release this week, Amazon has new copies of its prequel, Phoenix Wright: Justice For All, priced at $14.99, the lowest we've ever seen for the adventure game. We're not sure how long this deal will last, so sitting on this one would be ... objectionable. See what we did there? Given the quality of that joke, we really hope you didn't.
