Ok got a list of GameCrazy stores that the controllers will be shipped to.  If you want to know if there is going to be any in the GameCrazy in your neighborhood, please feel free to email me at infous@hori.ne.jp and I will try to find a store near you.  They should be getting to stores early next week.

It seems that people are still having problems tracking down this product at GameCrazy.  I apologize for that.  If you are interested in the product please ask for the "Controller Game Boy Digital" at GameCrazy and they should be able to order it for you if the store you go to doesn't have it.

For those interested in the product, I just called GameCrazy and they told me that if the store closest to you does not have the controller, you can special order it.  The official name of the product is the Game Boy Player controller or it is also just called the digital controller so you can try that out.

Hi Everyone,

Here are the answers to your questions.

1.  Yes, this product will be released in the US with an official license from Nintendo of America.
2.  The SRP for this product will be $14.99
3.  As of now, the only major retailer that has decided to take on this product is GameCrazy/Hollywood Video (If you would like to see this product in more places, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in bugging the retailers themselves, trust me, I have been trying my butt off to get them to carry this product because I know there is a demand for it.)  You also might be able to find it in other smaller stores because we have gotten some distribution support for this product.
4.  The memory cards will also be released in the next couple of weeks, but as of yet, we have not gotten any retail support and the product probably only be available at smaller stores through distribution.
5.  The controllers shipped out right before the Thanksgiving break, but I am not sure when they will start hitting store shelves.
6.  The Game Boy Player will be the 4 th product we have released in the US.  The 3 previous products are as follows
- Katana: The Soul Controller

- Vana'diel Forever: The Final Fantasy XI Clock

- Flight Stick 2 for Ace Combat 5 (This was a bundle done with Namco)
http://gear.ign.com/articles/562/562988p1.html

Hope that answers some of your questions.  If you have any more, please feel free to contact infous@hori.ne.jp or just keep continuing to post on this Bulletin Board and I will check it from time to time

This controller is officially licensed by Nintendo of America. After considerable hardships to get this product onto store shelves, we have gotten it placed at GameCrazy(Hollywood Video). If you are not familiar with this product, here are some links to some reviews.

If you have any questions, comments or requests, please feel free to contact us at infous@hori.ne.jp. We will also be coming out with an officially licensed 251 block platinum memory card for the GameCube soon.

Finally, thanks to all Hori fans who have welcomed us to the US with lots of support and warmth. We would greatly appreciate if you could continue to push your local game or electronic retailers to carry more of our products.
