Unfortunately a lot of the "good" sites got hit by PayPal, so if you're comfortable using a card

Got good review on ShopTemp (GBATemp's "shop" site where you can compare prices and read reviews)

DSTwo is pretty much the best card available

Holy shit! Unbelievable. I hope they left the cute Korean girls with the photocopied lists of pirated software alone

all illegal koreans deported - they're gone.

the random dudes with the disks full of roms? gone
the porn desks? gone
the dodgy cable tv guys? gone
Sunday roads closed? gone
Happy tower? no games - only child porn (not joking)

Aki is a festering blister of shit compared to how it used to be - it's not fun to go there any more. #oldmanballs

but hey - at least they have "nice restaurants" now :(

smh

Geez not much reason to come back to visit!

Ah, the good old days where you'd see flashcarts in vending machines on the back streets.  I was wondering how long those table setups would last though, not like they were doing it in secrecy or anything.  I'd assume there are stores where you can still get the goods, but you have to be in the know or something.

When I left Japan in 2009 every single person playing a DS on the train was using a flash cart with a MicroSD sticking out of it. Seriously -- I can't remember the last time I saw someone using a legitimate game. Wonder if that's changed (well, obviously if they're playing 3DS)

Yes, you cant play 3DS games though.
