What to buy from Hit Japan?
« on: July 10, 2012, 11:07:42 PM »
I just got Kyukyoku Tiger from Hit Japan for ~£12 which is pretty good, but when I buy it's generally a good idea to get a few other things at the same time for the slight shipping discount.

I'm pretty certain I'm gonna get Thunder Blade (the last game that uses the analogue stick) and Chan and Chan.

Then there's Be-ball and Bari Bari Densetsu, which are just cheapies I need the cases for, and apart from that we have:

Valkyrie Densetsu
Marchan Maze
Dragonball Z (the fighting one that might be hard to play)
Dragon Sabre
Winds of Thunder (good price, but might still be too expensive).

Any opinions here?  And if anyone wants to snap up a loose Be-ball or Bari Bari Densetsu, gimme a shout.

Strangest thing though...  For some reason the shipping for this game costs 50% more than the shipping for any other complete HuCard game.  $9 as opposed to $6.  Maybe the manual is really heavy, but I've contacted them.

Hopefully the knowledge that I plan to buy more will engage their common sense.

Turns out I wasn't as broke as I thought.  I can't afford loads, but a combination of miscalculating outgoing funds, and the fact that I don't actually have a working pin number means I'm doing alright.  Though I really should save a bit...

get winds of thunder if you don't have it already (which is kinda very strange to not have it already).

It was one of the first things I got on the Wii store, but I really don't play it much.  Gate of Thunder just seems better.  The only reason I'd buy it is that it seems like a good price.

You know it was Winds of Thunder and Spriggan that were two of the first PC Engine games I'd heard of, along with Ys.  Made me really want it.  And... uh I'm listening to Winds of Thunder music right now, and it is actually pretty sweet T___T

i agree that got is nuances better than wot, but which still makes it an uberamazing excellent game.
to not owning wot (or only owning a crappy wii version of it, which i can understand isn't as much of fun bringing as the original deal on the original hardware) is kinda blasphemy to the system..lol.

Best way to buy from Hit, is to buy a bunch at once.  They combine shipping, just have them invoice you after you buy the stuff.  With that said, buy all on the list you have.  :)

also, buy a few random things to confuse them!

They will probably f*ck up and send you the wrong item and then tell you to keep it cause it costs 80$ to ship it back.

Thats what's happened to me before, at least.

I usually just go to their store, and filter the section using sort by lowest price first.  Then just start shopping.  There are plenty of $3-$7 games that would make you happy.

Kunio Soccer $5?  Sure!!
Kabuki Den for $8?

And so on.....

If I understand it correctly www.gameofjapan.com is the same as Hit Japan, that being said there are time that I have found slightly better prices on their website.

You can buy hu-card games in 10 or 20 bundles, admittingly they are not the best games, but I've seen street fighter and a super system card 3.0 in one of the bundles ages ago.
