I'd be happy too if I got some of the cool DS games earlier than the U.S. Lucky and happy.

I actually considered importing it. The fact is, i've been waiting since February! I was tricked into thinking that the US launch day was the same as Japan. So yeah, I was very disappointed to have to wait seven more months. But I tell you, the game looks gorgeous.

The only game I've imported so far for the DS is "Electroplankton" and it's a really addicting game if music and creativity are you're thing. But are there any other DS games you think are worth importing?
