Naruto GNT4 arrived today and all preorders that are shipping with U.S. Postal Service Express Mail (US$17.85 shipping charge) are being dispatched today. Every order will include a Pakkun plush pouch as shown in the photo which has enough capacity to hold a PSP, a NDS, a Gamecube controller, or even a can of soda. We were even able to fit a box of Men's Pocky inside. The pouch opens up through Pakkun's mouth for easy access to its innards.

Please note that UPS shipments will be shipped out to our customers on Monday because UPS does not pick up packages on the weekend. If they had a regular pickup service on Saturdays, we would ship all UPS packages today. Please note that UPS stands for United Parcel Service - the people in the boxy brown trucks. Thanks for reading.

Further note that next Thursday is Turkey Day in the United States. UPS and the USPS will be on holiday. Please note that UPS will only deliver air shipments (overnight and 2nd day) on Friday, November 25. If you order Naruto 4 and have it shipped with UPS 3-Day, that will mean you will receive the game on Monday of next week since UPS will not deliver Ground or 3-Day packages this coming Friday.

Distributors in Japan are shipping the latest Gamecube Naruto game tonight. We have the shipment marked for Saturday delivery. Since UPS does not pick up packages over the weekend, we plan on shipping all preorders on Monday of next week. If you wish to change your shipping method to USPS Express Mail, we will be able to ship your order on Saturday (as long as there are no import shipment delays) for delivery to you on Sunday or Monday but we ask that you email us by Friday afternoon before 3:00PM EST to make the shipping arrangement.

Tomy started preorders last night for Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 which is scheduled to ship on November 21, 2005. Cursed Seal Sasuke with ebon-tinted Chidori joins the cast of characters along with Orochimaru's flanking henchmen. Per previous Naruto Gekitou games, the latest edition allows players to take control of their favorite characters and battle rivals and friends in 3D arenas that are modeled after locations from the animation.
