Today when I was in Best Buy I picked up Jump Superstars for the DS, a Japan-only game. I don't know if it's a mistake on their part or what, but they had that and an import Naruto game in stock. Based on the box, it appears to be a fighting game consisting of Shonen Jump characters:

Goku from DBZ

Naruto and Sasuke from Naruto

The kid from One Piece

Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin

Light and Ryuk from Death Note

Ichigo from Bleach

Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!


I'm currently debating whether or not to take it out of the package. I could go back to Best Buy tomorrow and see if they have another copy which I can open.

EDIT: I looked for it in the databaase and I noticed that there were no pictures. Feel free to use the ones I posted below.

EDIT 2: I looked on eBay and prices range from $14.50-$49.50. I'll probably open it. Second opinions?

They have them on purpose, because when they were first released, they were extremely popular in the US, even though they weren't sold here.  Best Buy is trying to join the import bandwagon on select titles.

Crap, I was just there a few hours ago but didn't check the DS section.  Something for me to do tomorrow, though.

I think they have had them for closer to 2 years now...

Some friends of mine had copies and they were able to pick all of them up for cheaper than bestbuy sells them.

I think it ran them 30-35$s if memory serves best buy was charging 40-50
