Thanks for the tip, but Rockman & Forte is incredibly expensive... I can't see myself paying Earthbound prices for it, especially with the GBA version as cheap as it is.
I'll have another poke through the archives and see what I can find.

I'm not big into "collecting" outside of the fact that I like having access to any console's particular "must-haves." While the disparity between the CT prices is a bit shocking, I really have no use for old cardboard boxes (except to resell them) or a game written largely in a language that I can't read. Especially one as story-heavy as CT. I would imagine that the relative difference in storage space between the States and Japan would explain why we're bigger collectors.

Wait, what? Earthbound prices? I found mine for $25 or so...
Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX
GameMasterGuy was probably talking about getting Rockman & Forte for $25, as it goes for no where near Earthbound prices, which are definitely ridiculous.
Really though, if you're going to play Rockman & Forte, the extra cash you'll spend on the SFC cart is totally worth it. If you're against buying it 100%, at emulate it rather than playing the sloppy GBA version. It's a really good game, and you're going to want to see it in all it's glory.
I'll keep an eye on it, but it seems like it would be cheaper to get an English repo cart than the original. The real crux of my aversion to emulators is that it's so easy to get in over my head with the amount of games at my disposal that I just end up playing none of them. I find that I appreciate the game a lot more if I pay and play it on the original system.

I agree completely, but, sometimes going with emulation is worth it. For example, in the case of Terranigma.
Rockman & Forte isn't that expensive... Not even CLOSE to Earthbound prices.
Get the three Parodius games on the SFC. They are all good, even if they did have releases on the PS1/Saturn. The Goemon/Mystical Ninja games are really fun. We only got the first one here, but there are actually four games on the SFC. All are playable without knowing Japanese. The Macross game is also very nice. Tons of others, too. The other threads (yup, there are others here) have other ideas.
You should also stop calling the Japanese SNES the Famicom. It's not a Famicom. It's a Super Famicom. NES=Famicom. SNES=Super Famicom.
Battle Cross and Bomberman are party games that are five player, Sutte Hakkun is really expensive but one of the best puzzle games on the system. Battle Tetris is head to head Tetris with attacks, ala Super Puzzle Fighter. Sure its been done since, but this is still my favorite head to head Tetris - each character plays differently, giving you actual strategy (instead of random powerups).
