Imported Games

*Cowabunga Carl* · 11-22-2014, 12:39 PM

There is a new Godzilla game coming out in Japan that I very much want to play. However I've never bought an imported game before and I have no idea where to even start looking. Has anyone here done this and know of a good site to purchase from?

I get my Kamen Rider Games from

http://www.play-asia.com/
http://www.amiami.com/

I did play asia alot, but now I have moved to Amiami as it seems to have the best prices.

I did also get an Ultraman PSP game from amazon one time for $30...but I think I just got lucky

between the two sites, I have 6 games (with a seventh pre-ordered on amiami)

Which format is it for, because that's going to be the biggest crux of figuring out what to do after you buy it heh. The vast majority of my games are US or Japanese, so it was only really from the 360 onwards I've bought European.

It's for PS3, and their games aren't region locked so I should be safe. The gameplay looks fantastic and I'm a huge Godzilla fan. It just sucks that a lot of games don't get American releases.

Damn, that looks good. Considering my poor choice in consoles in terms of 3rd party games, I probably won't be able to play it.

Doubt it'll be on Wii-U, but if it is, that might be something to consider...

It'll be PS3/PS4 only. Niche Bandai-Namco game, so don't expect much in terms of ports.

I pre-ordered the Japanese PS3 version not long ago, so I have mixed feelings about the announcement. On the one hand...I spent $90 on this game because I thought it wasn't gonna get released here. On the other hand, it'll be on PS4 later down the line and it's not getting released until the summer, but the Japanese PS3 version hits this month, so that's a plus.

Is this another brawler? I'm hoping there is only a lack of Rodan in the trailer and that he's somewhere in the game!

The game is a mission based game where you control Godzilla (Showa, Heisei, Millenium, or Legendary) and complete the mission. It is unknown at this time if you can pick other monsters. It's like Godzilla Generations.

The japanese demo in on the psn
