    I also got both ACA Neo Geo collections, did you see that volume 3 and 4 and due in April, but Amazon Japan aren't shipping them to the UK, the Egret collection 3 is on its way and due on Monday, but even that is t being shipped to the UK unless you buy the combine kit

        I don't even see vols 3/4 listed just yet - suspect when Amazon confirm their own stock it should be ok, usually the issue is that their marketplace sellers won't ship to the UK, which I'm guessing will be the case for many of the Egret 2 bundles / expansions if Amazon sold through their allocation already. My Cyberstick is en route too!

          They are both on there but they are right at the back of the preorder list when you goto the switch games section you can click the filter buttons down the left hand side if you click the available to preorder button it lists everything that’s coming out the vol 3&4 are right at the back of the last few pages as there’s like 20+ pages of preorder releases. It’s how I find the new upcoming stuff about once a week I go through it all.

          They dont tend to filter through to the front pages in the switch section till people start placing preorders. Usually they are listed in the date of release but if amazon doesn’t have one yet they go right to the back of the list with the other tba games as well as the random list of USA releases they have.

          vol3


          vol4

            This will be final game before xmas all rest will be coming on new year now. It's been nearly 20 years since i last ordered from play asia it was back in Wii/DS era however this was the only way i could get hold of this for a reasonably sane price.

            Behold momotaro dentestu in english


            I love playing momoden however it is a handful in Japanese for some of the cards & rules, my prayers have been answered there's an Asian version that besides having Japanese & Chinese it also for the very first time ever as far as im aware for any momoden game to be fully translated into english. As well as letting you pick english it even lets you decide what currency that the game will use from a lot of the world including GBP however it feels wrong to not use Yen.

            Kind of weird seeing it finally in english but they have translated absolutely everything, will look forward to hammering this over xmas.

              Finally caught up on all the tetsudo nippon train games for switch have every single train game now (choo choo) the other newest released one will be coming after xmas with my egret II mini stuff.
              Very nice!

              Have you had a chance to play through all the series? If so, is there any title which is more friendly to English speaking countries, or are they all native Japanese?

              I was interested in in a Japanese train game, talking about it here, and was going to get Tetsudo Nippon! Real Pro Tokkyu Soko! Nagoya Tetsudo-hen​ but every time I was about to buy it, the Zuiki Train Controller​ was always out of stock.

              It seems they've now updated the controller with a load of new colours, but they're all out stock, too!

                2 of the tetsudo nippon games in my pic are in full english meaning they are great starts to learn how the others play as they all use similar systems so it means you can figure out the speed limits and signs ect. Can't remember exactly which 2 in that pic off top of my head but i can test for you when i get in from work tomorrow if you want to know.

                  Only if you have the time, but that'll be very kind of you importaku, thank you!

                  I've always fancied one of the Sonic Powered train games, but the confusing selection, lack of English options and the dedicated controller being out of stock, always prevented me when I was hovering over buy now button on Amazon Japan.

                  Knowing which is friendly to UK eyes and hoping for the dedicated controller to come back in stock, would be most tempting!

                    And here's the dedicated controller for Switch for anyone interested. let's hope they come back in stock soon!

                        Here you go these are the 2 that are in full english. Took a pic of both covers so you can spot them from the sea of others. I put them both in the switch to 100% test and make sure they were.


                        In fact to make it easier here's the links to both on amazon jpn

                        Tetsudo nippon eizan railway edition


                        Tetsudo nippon mountain train odakyu hakone edition


                        Only downside to these games is they tend to be expensive and slow to drop in price, the newest one that just released last week is nearly 10,000yen

                          Thank you so much importaku, you're a scholar and a gentleman!

                          The game on the left in your picture above, is the one I've had saved on my Amazon Japan Wish list for most of this year, good to know that's it's in English thanks to your detective work!

                            The last xmas parcel from Japan finally arrived just got here before new year i took a gamble and shipped it out. A mix of the remaining switch games i was waiting on the newest release of tetsudo nippon which comes with a keychain & acrylic train nameplate of the model that's celebrated in this release. Also super happy Chicory has finally been saved from digital only i love that game and have been praying it would finally get a nice physical & my wish was granted. Also Gimmick 2 has been saved as well for some reason Japan has already got it the west has to wait a little while for a local physical release.



                            The newest Taito egret II mini vol3 expansion arrived too, this is the combine kit set glad the box was a bit smaller this time as these do take up room.


                            Last couple of bits in the parcel were dragon quest items a king slime candy tower, was another prize that was only available to be won from crane games in the arcade thankfully amazon marketplace sellers like offloading this stuff so i get a chance to grab alsorts of weird & wonderful stuff.


                            The final item is a set of real world replicas of the boss medals from Dragon quest X these are used in the magic labyrinth to allow you to battle the boss on the face of the medal. I love seeing stuff brought into the real world from DQ games. No idea where these were originally obtained from but the look like lottery prizes, another amazon jpn find.
