Of course there are games here available that aren't yet available in the U.S. (heheheh), but I am longing to play the next Kingdom Hearts game for the Nintendo DS (there's also one coming out for the cell phone and the PSP). It's called Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and it centers around Roxas, my favorite character from Kingdom Hearts. The release date appears to still be unknown for Japan, so I just keep checking the shelves looking for it. I already saw a copy of the Final Mix (never released in the U.S.) for sale at a second-hand bookstore here. If only I owned a PS2...

I am heavily contemplating buying a Nintendo DS here, though. It all started when I was sitting in one of my Japanese classes, and I saw a class-mate with a DS open, furiously drawing something on it.
