The Korg synthesizer on a DS cartridge, the Korg DS-10, is not a game. It's an emulation of the classic instrument MS-10 and pocket-sized musical tool that's sure to blow the mind of anyone that's into synthesizers and music making.

Unfortunately, because the DS-10 isn't a game, and it carries a price tag of $40, GameStop and Target will not stock it, and Best Buy is still undecided. Today 1UP has a list, direct from publisher XSEED, of retailers that do plan to stock this software.

  • Hollywood/GameCrazy
  • Fry's
  • Micro Center
  • EB Canada (not in U.S. GameStops)
  • J&R
  • Best Buy (still not committed)
They note that Amazon.com also has it in stock for $36.99, which makes me feel like a dildo for importing it for over $60. Whatever. I have a good song list going already.

I'm still trying to get a decent review/guide going for the DS-10. Look for that soon.

English Version? I have tried it in Japanese but it was too much to overcome. Is there an English one?

Too hard to overcome? I'm musically retarded and I was able to bang out some decent chiptunes after about a day or so.

And pretty much the entire game is in English, aside from some error messages. So I've been wondering what the holdup is too.

best buy is useless. their gaming section is 1/4 what it used to be... the entire store seems to have downscaled over the past 15 years or so. two computer brands available. seems like all they are good for nowadays is televisions and washing machines.

I'm pretty interested in getting this. It looks really fun to use.

I'm waiting with baited breath for your review/guide!

Yup. I work at a certain gaming store and I've had to tell one entire person that we don't carry it.
