Play-Asia is probably the best place to pick up games and anime goods imported from Japan! If you’re brave enough to play them despite the dialogue not being in English, you can experience these games months before they’re released in the US or elsewhere. Here’s a handful of some of the newest games! (Some are preorders~ Play-Asia is good about clearly marking them. n_n Also pay attention to which games are region-locked and must be played on Japanese game systems.)

Preorder Rune Factory 4 for Nintendo 3DS
