I do, and I have a few of those games on it already (donkey kong, balloon fight, pinball, golf). Im more interested in it for the unique minigames, as simple as they are.

Hmm. There's one on ebay UK now for a very reasonable price, but I dont know what region it is. Should I take the risk?

My e-reader arrived this morning, I kinda like it.

It's a lot bulkier than I expected, it looks huge sticking out of my GBA SP. I tried the default card pack I got with it, which contained DK jr (which I sucked at, but enjoyed), Manhole (which I already own, and enjoy), 3 pokemon cards which make a mini game called 'Machop at Work' which is a fun little mini game where you have to punch boulders, and an animal crossing card which I unfortunately can't use, what with the feature being removed from the european gamecube version of the game.

I'm very interested in getting the rest of the pokemon cards that give mini games and videos, being a bit of a pokenerd. Bulbapedia lists the cards that work, but I was wondering if there's a difference between UK and US pokemon cards? I assume they're all the same, but some of those rare cards are bit pricy for me to fork out for if they don't work, so I'd like to know beforehand :lol:

I wanted to try Mario Party-e too, but they seem to go for extortionate prices online? Is that always true? I saw them in a shop years back for about £10, I wish I'd bought them now. :(

Japanese Cards only work with Japanese games / e-reader.

I could be completely wrong, but this is what I have always been led to believe. Has anyone here tested it themselves?

EDIT: I think I am right.

From Wiki.
Even though Game Boys and DSs are region-free, Japanese e-Reader cards work only on Japanese e-Readers, etc
