Super Famicom Games worth Importing ?

Post by dwarpdesign »

Are there any SFC games that are really worth "modding" my SNES and importing. I'm talking stuff that it's crazy that it wasn't brought to America, and needs no real translation skills?
Thanks!

Rockman & Forte, (megaman game) think it came out in EU also in english, but can play in jp too
Terranigma (part of the soulblazer rpg series) EU in english
The Firemen (awesome action game) EU in english, but can play in jp too

Games that only came out in JP though, platformers and puzzlers are good cuz you don't need to know the language:

Go Go Ackman trilogy
DoReMi Fantasy
Ganbare Goemon series
MICKEY & DONALD: MAGICAL ADVENTURE 3 (part of the magical quest series)
Spiderman: Lethal Foes
Super Back to the Future 2
Bomberman 3-5 (5 is probably the best)

this site has a pretty good list, check out the Obscure SF section:

Gon.

Maybe it's just me, but I love this game. A charming style and an unusually peaceful game with no hud, just you as a little dinosaur who chases boars and monkeys about because they nicked his food.

Also, the Super Gussun Oyoyo games (there's two of them on the SNES). These are some rock hard but very additive puzzles games in which you use blocks to help a little bloke get to an exit high above on the wall. There's so much you have to take into account, and loads of ways to lose at it, but even when you keep losing it's dead funny.

If any of these saw a domestic release, forgive me...

Pop 'N Twinbee. Vertical cutemup -- I really dig this game.

Parodius series. Its also possible that these games were later released on an anthology version for the PSX or Saturn -- but not really certain. Regardless, they are still great games to play on the SNES.

SuperBomberman 3-5. If you are a Bomberwhore, then you should probably consider 3-5. Personally, I think the SNES Bomberman line peaked at 2, but I still find some value in the later iterations.
