Import games to Japan? (seems backwards...)

CAGiversary!
I recently moved to Japan from America, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a site that sells American Wii games and ships to Japan. The site can be in Japanese. I think this is kinda a funny question, as I would usually import games from Japan to America via playasia.com or the like. I'm trying to exoplore other options besided having my brother buy a game and send it to me.
 
I too am in Japan and dealing with the same thing. Too bad Amazon Japan doesn't sell games. At least we can get English books from there.

Where are you living thebert?
 
Also, Amazon USA will ship some games to Japan via $8.50 UPS.
I bought Bioshock from them...arrived in 3 days.
 
I'm living in Shizuoka, conveniently found in the Shizuoka prefecture. It's like a New York, NY thing. So, not quite as big time as Tokyo, but I actually find the big Japan cities pretty intimidating. I enjoy the nice rural setting where I live here, (rice fields across the street, and ocean a 3 min bicycle ride away) and I can always visit downtown Shizuoka for something to do with friends.

I had no idea that Amazon US shipped anywhere but US. I hope I can get guitar hero 3 from them, because even with about $9 shipping, that still beats playasia @ $130
 
I live in a small town south of Sendai up in Miyagi ken. I agree with you about the big cities. This is my second stint living in Japan and both times I've been in rural areas and couldn't be happier. Love visiting the big cities, but get tired of them real fast.

I didn't know Amazon US would ship games to Japan. When I lived here from 2002 to 2004 they shipped many other things (DVDs, books, etc) but wouldn't ship games. I resorted to paying an arm and a leg through gamestop. This makes me happy.
