Yup--Kakaku lists several that claim to have it in stock. Duh...
Should've done my homework first, of course.

I feel your pain, Louise. I finally got a DS about three weeks ago.
For me it was impossible because everytime a new shipment came in on
Saturday at the nearest JUSCO or Toys R Us, I had to work. Finally,
when I heard two of my students were going to try to get one after
class, I persuaded them to pick one up for me as well. It worked out,
but just barely; mine was the very last one in stock.

At the moment I'm working through the "Minna no DS zeminaru: Kanpeki
Kanji Ryoku" game. It's tough; I know a lot of the kanji, but they
throw some killer vocab in there (it being targetted toward Japanese
adults, not American kids-at-heart), and my writing has always been
weaker than my reading. But I've managed to climb as high as Sandan
(out of a possible 10).

Thinks: would a Japanese-language package work on a US-localized version
anyway (or is the "localization" just a menu option and an English
manual?)

The Nintendo DS is wonderfully region free. Any software you get in
Japan will work on an American DS, and vice versa.
