Nintendo DSi Price Cut in Mid-June?

Nintendo DSi Price Cut in Mid-June?
	Nintendo DSi has a price cut?
	Who knows...
	What the. So dubious.
	I've just heard some rumors. First of all, NDS' "LOVEPLUS +" will launch in Japan on June 24.
	We've talked about "LOVEPLUS" at "LOVEPLUS is HOT Among Japanese OTAKU". There are some cute figures released in Japan too.
	This game has a limited edition with a NDSi bundled together. Already one month till the launching date but the price of the limited edition is not yet decided. There should be some special reason.
	And you think the reason is price cut huh.
	Possible. It was arranged to start pre-order in early May, but delay till now. I think this sudden change of the arrangement is due to price cut.
	Then there will be some announcement before June 24, the launching date of "LOVEPLUS +"?
	Don't know the exact day though. "E3 2010" is set for mid-June in America, and Nintendo may announce a worldwide price cut for NDSi during the Keynote Address.
	I see.
	Of course that is an arrangement for the launch of "Nintendo 3DS". Launching 3DS and price cut for DSi is reasonable.
	Then comes the special bundle of "LOVEPLUS +" and DSi huh.
	Yep. So if you want to buy DSi, you better wait. Of course you should buy immediately if you have games really want to play now.
	E3 Let's look forward to Nintendo's Keynote Address 2010.

DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies' Selling Date Announced. Most Sold RPG in Japan

DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies' Selling Date Announced. Most Sold RPG in Japan
	"DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies" has announced the selling date for North America and Europe.
	July 11 for North America, July 23 for Europe.
	Japanese version had been launched on July 11, 2009. It takes one year to go outside Japan.
	"DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies" is the best seller of Japanese RPG.
	Really?
	Depends on the method you count the sales. For example, "Pocket Monster" series always launch 2 versions at the same time, if you combine sales of 2 versions that would be more than DQ. But if you count separately, "DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies" is TOP.
	"DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies" sold 4.29 million copies till now. Game Boy's "Pocket Monster (Green, Red)" sold 4.18 million and 4.04 million copies respectively. There is no Pokemon hitting 4 million by a single version after that, so "DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies" is the top.
	How about another HOT Japanese RPG ""FINAL FANTASY" series?
	Best seller was "FINAL FANTASY VIII", 3.69 million copies sold. Sales decrease after that and "FINAL FANTASY XIII" only sold 1.85 million copies.
	Sales of the 2 biggest RPGs in Japan are quite different.
	Don't mind the figure, "DRAGON QUEST" series is a HOT RPG series in Japan, as it is the origin of Japanese RPG.
	The its latest sequel is ready for overseas huh.
	Actually, sales of "DRAGON QUEST" series is bad outside Japan, compare with "FINAL FANTASY" series. But this time Nintendo is supporting its sales so this is another story.
	I hope foreigners would enjoy the game too.
	Pre-order has been started at amazon.com, check it out. Next time we will introduce details of DQ9.
