Mod it and use prii-loader to make it region free loading of discs, otherwise have to use a usb loader the pirated way.

There is also a fan translation out there:

Also, check out this link:

Earth Seeker looks really awesome, it had a translation patch in the making and almost complete, but the author went douche-mode and didnt release it.

Only $15 with Amazon Prime too, damn Japanese language.

Damn, I'm really considering getting Earth Seeker for that price just for shits and giggles.

There is literally nothing about it on the Internet though in terms of walkthroughs or guides. I can usually manage with imports since I do play quite a few of them.

Shit, I had no idea Earth Seeker was so cheap on the US Amazon store. I was waiting for it to come down in price while in Japan, but it never did.

It happens. I for one haven't had luck getting anywhere close to prices in Japan for Fire Emblem Path of Radiance.
Lum fan.

There are some other ones such as Project Zero 4 (Fatal Frame 4), which has a full english patch. I believe Tact of Magic (sequel to DS game, Lost Magic) has a translation patch. I know a Captain Rainbow patch is nearing completion.

Yeah, that's Amazon though. As insane as Ebay prices are nowadays, completed listings are a much better indication. I'm not buying games on either site anymore though, just locally and from Gamestop. I can't afford to be paying $10-15 shipping on every item.

That sucks, being in Canada definitely hurts the shipping costs. Of course, shipping from the US to Canada is such a pain thanks to the crappy US Postal Service.

eBay prices have shot up too. Look at this auction that ended just 3 days ago:
Madness!

Is Dokapon Kingdom really that rare? Glad I got mine for something like 15 bucks back a year or two ago. Got both versions!
