Yes, you'll need a credit card. Best bet is Visa or Mastercard. Never been able to get my Discover to work.
Older DS games are gonna be hit-or-miss on availability. As they are likely to be sold by third party retailers who will NOT ship internationally, you would need a proxy. If anything, Amazon will have a new copy that is way overpriced.

I'd also like to know this.
Still good for auction sites and many third party sellers... but other than that, yeah.
Amazon going in all serious.
Link me to it bro haha.

Eventual price drops on games, the ability to easily cancel on Amazon without Ami2's fickle attitude towards cancellations, probably other things I'm not thinking of yet. Shipping is crazy fast, too.
amiami doesn't restock
Hardware and software works but it seems like they will only allow the ones that they have in stock. It doesn't seem to work with pre-orders or orders that are temporarily unavailable. I guess that's why the PS4 doesn't work since it's temp unavailable until Mar 13. The 3DS works though.

Just buy everything for now, sort through the bills later.
For some reason I tried to pre order the new kirby ones and it wouldn't let me.

How do foreign games work on Vita? Thinking about getting Digimon World: Next Order.
I don't think that's fair to amiami on the cancelation complaint. You preorder something and don't buy it afterwards? That's extra stock they have to sit on and deal with. Theres a reason why amiami doesn't restock and its very limited.
Hmm, did you set the language of the website to English to see what the exact error is? Are you using a Amazon.co.jp account?
Maybe Twitter jumped the gun regarding preorders

Yoooo might have to grab Stranger of Sword Coty physical now
Just preordered the JP version of Dark Souls 3 for the Xbox One and it didn't work.
Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order.
PS4 works tho

Yes, DHL actually, but there are no cheap options for international shipping. Express only.

This is great!
Actually plenty of games have Amazon preorder bonuses.
The recent Valkyria remaster had them, as an example.
(Granted, I don't put too much value on them because preorder bonuses usually up the price massively in exchange for cheap goods)
no, just log in with your regular Amazon account.
they only tax Japan residents
I had to make a new one.

I don't know if it is the same with DHL, but my problem with FedEx is they charge me extra at the door 100% of the time. I pay 20 bucks or whatever it is for shipping then when they get to the door they want another 13. Would just prefer EMS, but I don't know why they don't offer it.
