Following last week's mega week (especially lead by the release of Winning Eleven 8), it's been very calm in this one due to the Japanese holiday season, at least considering the number of new releases. Luckily among the titles that were published are a few really quality ones.

Most exciting in this week has been SNK Playmore's exclusive 3D PlayStation2™ fighting game The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact. Every copy of the game ships including a Bonus DVD as well as 59 pages guide book packed into an extra sleeve. In stock now at US$ 59.90 only.

Further interesting for all collectors has been Nintendo 3rd round Famicom Mini Series. Another 10 classical Famicom titles are now available for your GBA™ at US$ 28.90 each.
