ILIS?

ILIS? Does this word make any sense to you? Actually it is an acronym for I Like It Simple, a shop that was recently setup by my 2 internet friends, Aiyish and Kyoyagami. It seems like they are not going to sell videogames only, as indicated by the ILIS Gaming Division(what other divisions will be available? Hmm...)

There are more and more forumers at lowyat.net trying to get their hands on gaming business. Then what makes this shop stand out and hence deserve a post at my blog? Well, the reason is solely because of their willingness to bring in the latest Nintendo DS games.

For those who are familiar with the gaming scene in Malaysia especially those Nintendo DS supporters, they will know how hard it is to get the latest Nintendo DS games from local brick and mortar stores as they simply wont bring in any games knowing that they wont make any money(well, some of them still sell latest nds games but you should know they will only bring in the hot games and how about the good games that are overlooked? Good luck in finding them locally). The conveniency of playing downloaded games on Nintendo DS has been a deadly problem plaguing the Nintendo DS and leads to reluctancy of local gaming shops st0cking original Nintendo DS games. Thus, for those who are interested in purchasing Nintendo DS games, it seems like Play-Asia is the only solution to go. While it is not impossible to get the games, some dont like to buy it there like my friend from lowyat.net, Madmoz and some just think it is a hassle as they dont have a credit card.

It is a good news that ILIS are able to identify the untapped market here and are willing to take the risk to start selling them. I am sure many Nintendo DS games who have been getting games from Play Asia can now have another alternatives and get games directly from them without having to wait minimum 1 week to get their games from internet stores(applies only those for free shipping games.)

They still dont have a shop yet but it seems like they have already found a good place to be and hopefully they will announce it soon. As for now, they are still able to meet your demands as they are doing business online. Not only do they sell Nintendo DS related stuffs, they are also able to cater to your needs regarding PSP, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360. Their thread at lowyat.net is here and you can just drop a post there or pm them if you have any queries.

As for now they have already open preorders for 2 upcoming Nintendo DS games, which are Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Grimoire of The Rift at rm155 and Guitar Hero On Tour at rm210. For those who are interested in Guitar Hero and if you plan to get it from Play Asia, I would say it is better to get it from ILIS as the price of this software at Play Asia is more expensive than ILIS quoted price (there is no free shipping this time due to the bundled peripheral and you have to pay extra usd10.40) and this item might be taxed due to it more-than-average weight. Since I am not that interested in music games, I might get FFTA2 from them as I have been looking forward to this game(but no money.......)

They have my best wish for setting up a gameshop catering for original NDS gamers. Hopefully they can manage to become as big as Gamer Hideout!
