For my birthday, my sister is allowing me to get import items from Japan, so...
1) Hori Fighting Stick
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-23-70-e5p.html
I always wanted a Hori joystick ever since I saw one. I love Soul Calibur II and this will make it even better. I already have a stick from Pelican, but Hori seems higher quality.
2) Electroplankton
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71...ton-70-k9k.html
I always wanted a game where you make your own goals, rather than forcing the player to play a certain way. I like ambient music and the game itself seems relaxing. I heard the game doesn't use the Japanese language a lot and it comes with headphones!
3) Daigasso! Band Brothers
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-70-d7p.html
This is like Electroplankton, except the game forces you to match buttons like DDR or Donkey Konga. The great news is that you can make music, store it and record samples. However, I'm on the fence because it does use a good deal of Japanese text.
Funny thing is that I gave my DS to my friend, so... I'll just have to snatch it back.
Anyway, I'd like to know which of the 3 I should get OR what would you get from Japan instead? Is playasia better than liksang?

Providing you can affort them in the first place. I don't have much that I can think of to import stuff from Japan. I really don't buy a lot of things. I've never heard of you items that you want to import Revelade. Thanks for the links.

Then I started looking at goodies like these:
Gamecube Component Cable
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...f2dd3c32150d700
It's supposed to have a great difference between S-video. You know how you guys have red, white and yellow? Well this one uses Red, Green and Blue (notice the caps, hehe).
Pelican Universal Read Arcade Stick
http://store.videogamecentral.com/peuncorearco.html
This isn't really import, but whatever.
Well, I already have one of these, so I could get another to balance it out. The GREAT part is that it works on all 3 systems AND the joystick can be used as a joystick like a controller, instead of working like a d-pad, compared to Hori's.
I guess I'm going to wait for the English versions of Band Brothers and Electroplankton. I'm almost sold on the component cable, but as for the joysticks...
Either I get 2 Horis for $80, or more if there is tax or shipping, OR I could get another Pelican stick for only $40.
The Hori's look sexy and I'm dying to use the stick and buttons. However, the Pelican stick I have works well and it's multiconsole...
Ahhh!
