I'd say MMX4 was the first X game to actually surprise me past the first X game. None could ever surpass the original MMX for me, but X4 was much better than X2 and X3. I couldn't get into X5 though.

I guess I can see this for the 8-bit games (Although I think 3 improved on 2, so I didn't get bored until 4), but no way is Mega Man X similar to Mega Man 2 (Nor is it inferior )
What was the official PAL name for the 2nd Shinobi game on GG? I can't find a definitive answer. Is it Shonobi II? The G.G. Shinobi II? Shinobi II: The Silent Fury? The G.G. Shinobi II: The Silent Fury?
In addition, what does the cartridge look like? I picked up a copy of Shinobi II at the boot fair one time, but it looks different to any other version I've seen, so I think it might be the Japanese version.

I just got MMX Collection for the Gamecube, so hopefully soon I'll see what the series is like past X3.

Looks like the PAL cart is the same as the US one. That's definitely a European box there.

As Hobie points out, Shinobi II: The Silent Fury is US/EU, while The G.G. Shinobi II: The Silent Fury is the Japanese (I can't read the kanji, but I think that's what it says).

I have a Japanese GB Tetris and Nemesis carts as well as a German Fortified Zone. These were purchased at used game stores here in the US that don't generally handle imports. Maybe games picked up on travel or sent by a friend if there wasn't a big group indicating an import enthusiast.

It just seems odd because the Game Gear was reasonably popular here in Europe, so importing seems unnecessary. It was the only Japanese game they had too, amongst a collection of about 8 games they were selling. Almost every other game was a sports game. One was sonic.
