The last time I saw imports at a large retail chain store was when Electronics Boutique sold Sega Saturn imports when Sega was barely keeping the system on life support. I remember this because they received a cease and desist letter from Sega and were forced to liquidate their imports. Lucky me, as I picked up Radiant Silvergun sealed for $5 along with a few others. At the time it looked like a fun game; in retrospect it was maybe the greatest deal I have ever unwittingly received. Anyway, the sticker on this game reads:
“ATTN: This is am import title. The contents, including but not limited to the manual and in-game screens may contain a foreign language. Please refer to the site,
www.IMPORTFAQS.com for any questions you may. Enjoy! FULLY COMPATIBLE with the US Nintendo DS (R).”
