Top 2 Import Japanese Video Game Stores

Only 2? Yes only 2. All the others are not needed as I’ve tried them all and most have problems like bad website navigation, bad customer service, bad product selection, or even long ass shipping delays. I’ve been importing since the early Dreamcast days when I first got the original Shenmue Christmas ‘99 so believe me I’ve been around the block.

1. Play Asia

Good prices, fast reasonably priced shipping, and every import game usually 2-3 days before it’s actually released. They achieve this by being located in Hong Kong and by of course being sneaky ninjas!

2. NCSX

I like to call NCSX “old reliable” as they have been around since the dawn of the internet and they have some of the best customer service you’ll find at any store, be it an import game store or any store. They also have some of the best game related toys you’ll find anywhere. Prices are a bit higher than Play Asia as is the base shipping price.
