Despite the shortage in the US, steady supply of Japanese version Nintendo DS™ consoles has become available during the early December weeks. Roughly 2 weeks after the Japanese launch, Nintendo will now release limited quantities of 220V Nintendo DS™ models to the Hong Kong market on coming Saturday (December 18th, 2004).

From our current information, the Asian model console is expected to be almost 100% identical to the Japanese release version (in sort of technical issues and retail packing). However the Asian model will ship including a 220V power supply - ideal for customers living in Hong Kong, UK, Europe, Australia and other 220V countries. A socket adapter will be included free of charge from us if you live in Europe or Australia/New Zealand.

While pricing remains at US$ 189 for both models (Japanese and Asian), we will offer 2 combo console + software discounts if you are going to purchase the Asian Nintendo DS™ version. Upon purchase of the Asian Nintendo DS™ along with either Touch! Made in Wario or Mr. Driller Drill Spirits, you will be entitled to a US$ 10 discount that will automatically be deducted from your total during checkout.

Don't hesitate, now is your final chance to receive your Nintendo DS™ before Christmas. Most software titles are in stock in good quantities to ship within 24 hours (including today's restocked Super Mario 64 DS). Submit your order now, don't forget to chose a courier shipping method during checkout and Santa Claus will arrive right on time.

We also suggest all customers still having a pending US Version Nintendo DS™ preorder to consider switching to one of the now available models. Supply of US version consoles will not be expected before January to February 2005.
