I knew I should’ve acted early and bought Men at Work 2 from Himeya Shop. But I was distracted, and now in January 04 it is currently sold out.
I’m going to assume that Himeya will eventually restock this game. But until then, I’m looking for a reputable store that might have a legitimate copy of the game. I don’t think Right Stuf or Anime Nation will order it, and I do not know if J-List will.
After browsing the Peach Princess BBS archives, I was not able to find recommended stores for non-professionally-translated games. Therefore, any recommendations?
Thanks to all for listening to this perennial newbie. I’ll check back in a few days.

Kuwabara from Hikaru no Go: “You know, Go is a two-player game.”

Exactly. But I thought I had to make that suggestion because: - he might want to play the games in japanese - nobody knows if there will never be a translation-project for MAW3 (MAW1 is very unlikely though) - getting all three together at 15$ more than MAW2 alone is a nice bargain

Well I won’t buy the maw3 dvd until it is certain that the translation works with the plus version of maw2 which is included in the DVD. I’ve already asked (see http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001638.html ) but it doesn’t seem certain yet, if it’s already certain that it works, please let me know, too. Edit: Edited the Link because it included the ) in the link.

First, thank you for the information. I am mostly interested in the MAW 2 fan translation at this time, in case you were wondering. (I still haven’t made time to learn hiragana and katakana, but I do want to accomplish quite a few things this year.)
One of my aims in my original post was to find an online store that sold Japan-only bishojo games. Sure, I could find quite a few online bishojo retailers that are based in Japan, but I’d have to do a lot more research to see which of them not only have a decent grasp of English, but which are able to send their software through international mail.
I’ll have to look into MAW 3. No, I wouldn’t know if the edition of MAW 2 that is included in MAW 3 might work with the fan translation. We’ll have to wait and see.
And so I’m headed back to Overture.com to see what retail sites match the criteria I mentioned. If I find any super-good stores, I’ll drop by this board later and mention them.
Thanks for listening. Have fun.

Hmm anyone know what happened to the MaW2 translation site? Their site doesn’t seem to be working, though its still listed on power3d? I was just checking to see if any progress was happening and am wondering if the group disbanded or got shut down.
I’m not quite sure what to make of this. Perhaps their hosting died but the group itself is OK. In that case there should be a new webpage whenever they notice their servers are toast… If not, then the project is finished (in the “terminated” sense, unfortunately).
