Amazon Japan is now shipping games worldwide

Sucks for Nintendo fans

If you're a fan of imports or just want games that aren't coming to the West (Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 anyone?), then the latest news from Amazon Japan is going to make your day: Thanks to a policy change,  they'll now be shipping games worldwide.

This is great for everyone but Nintendo fans, because the rest of the gaming world has done away with the garbage practice of region locking.  If you are a Nintendo fan…at least Amazon Japan will sell you a Japanese console? Yeah, still a crappy deal.

For those able and looking to take advantage of this new, cheaper, import service, the people at USGamer have put together a simple guide on how to make an order from the Japanese site, complete with helpful pictures.
