New site looks really cool, I've been a happy customer for a few years, and the new features look great. The red toolbar is quite slick.
Only thing is, when browsing through the products, it's not very intuitive getting to the actual product page, I clicked on the name and price until I realized that only the picture was hyperlinked for some reason.
Otherwise, great site, and good job keeping the dream alive for Canadians!

I just got an iTouchDS card right before they announced the DSi and I'm still using a phat Ds because I don't want to upgrade and buy another flashcart. So I could really use this :]
Great looking site. Really like the sliding part of the new design. I remember I bought a few things from them a few years back. I was happy with my purchase but my only gripe was there shipping rate. I think it used to be close to $10 just to ship an item to the US but I see that has changed since then.
Great website and great new design, it looks more up to date now
and I also notice their edge cards are real cheap, its the cheapest iv seen so far
,
keep the prices where they are, and keep up the good work.

wow! 64 pages of comments already. the site re-design is ok, (to be honest, I'm not a fan of flash/dhtml-based websites since they tend to go overboard and concentrate on trying to make it look slick rather than being intuitive and easy to use.
with that said, kick gaming has fallen into this trap as well. the site used to be pretty straight forward, easy to navigate and fast. now, it appears to chug along at about 1/2 speed and you have to do a lot of excessive clicking to get down to the level of information that provides some detail.
additionally, cascading menus are the bane of laptop users everywhere and yet more and more sites are using them.
hopefully, kick gaming with take some of the comments here to heart and bring us a v3.0 website that is easier to navigate once again. I will still continue to use them for purchases, as I've done in the past due to their great service and low prices on most items.
edit:
12 hours later and my opinion has changed. the site is running silky smooth now and is very easy to navigate. their server must have been experiencing some heavy traffic due to the number of people viewing this thread.

I'm glad that they got an overhaul. Good for them! I bought my M3 Real from them, and they have great customer support, and service!
Check them out!
Check them out!
Wow, this contest seems to be popular. The odds of winning seem to be very slim xD. Anyway, I would like to participate in this event. I really like the new site and the prices are very reasonable and affordable to even me (As poor as I am being jobless and all). Well, I wish the best of luck to all of you. After all, that's what you need to win am I right? Luck.
A Super Card DSONEi would be cool to own, be an R4 replacement and one that works on my DSi.

The site looks great. If I ever need to buy any accessorys for my DS or Wii, I'' be sure to biuy it from them.
A friend of mine asked me where to get a good flashcart from yesterday. I'll give him the link
.
Very nice design for your new site..
Once I upgrade to a DSi , I'm sure gonna look on your site for a fleshcart.

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version? -
@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
