Japanese games stores

I'm not sure that 'equivalent to Game' means the same as 'good', but anyways.. 
Japan has lots of game stores and they generally have good prices, particularly on second hand titles, (Jet Set Radio Future: 5 quid, FIFA 2002: 2 quid, SSX tricky: 3 quid).
Where abouts in Japan are you going? Osaka and Tokyo both have districts dedicated to electronics, where you'll be seriously spoilt for choice. One large chain of game shops is Softmap, the one near me has 5 or 6 floors each of which is much bigger than your typical high street game in the UK. It has an entire floor for second hand stuff, an RPG floor, even a porn games floor!
As for the NDS, I don't have mine yet but Japanese batteries are the same as UK ones. The mains adapter won't work of course, as the plugs and electric supply are different, you may be able to get a step down/up transformer or something, maybe someone else can help you with that one?
