Just a little protip, the Japanese Megaman GB games are called Rockman World and are significantly cheaper than the US carts and just as playable, Gameboy is not region locked I bought all 5 from japan and most were under 10 bucks, the most expensive was 5 and that was only $13. So definitely importing is a smart move, Rockman World 5 at $13 vs Mega Man 5 GB at $60, that is a hell of a savings.
Any good websites for importing games from Japan? (an English interface would be a huge bonus too)
Well the common ones like Ebay and Amazon. I've used http://solarisjapan.com/ before they often have decent prices.
Here in the States I use Windy Gaming alot, its nice because all orders over $25 have free shipping and prices are decent. http://www.windygaming.com/
I feel like I'm probably the only person on the planet that enjoyed Paperboy on the N64 as a kid. Rented that game multiple times, Never played the NES version but I did have the little Tiger electronics game, it sucked haha
Paperboy is a strange game. I played it a lot on NES and Genesis as a kid and I convinced myself that I really liked it. When I try to play it now though I don't enjoy it very much. I guess I liked the weird humor of it more back then.
I've said it before but it's still worth mentioning this is one of the best games in the classic series. Anyone who's a fan of the NES games and has been overlooking this one really needs to try it out.
It's a shame Capcom cancelled the GBA anniversary collection. We came so close to having a colorized version of the game.

WOW! I never knew that, would of been awesome. Sad with Kenji Inafune gone we will probably never see a GB Mega Man collection. I wonder if there are any fan made romhacks that add color.
We almost had a Metal Slug GBA port as well, not Metal Slug Advance but a port of the first game.
I wonder how close they were to completion and if we would ever see a prototype dump.

I've never been a fan of Paperboy, sorry to say. That said, how does the NES port compare to the SNES port?
Honestly I've always shied away from Paperboy 2 on SNES, probably because of my fondness for Paperboy on NES. My (dumb, childish) logic at the time was "I don't want Paperboy to be ruined for me," akin to avoiding a sequel to one of your favorite movies.
In other words, it sounds like a good time to get past that crap and play that game eventually
Odd that you were talking about paperboy because for some odd reason I remember my dad raving about that one when I was younger....now that I've seen it in action years after that revelation I just don't get it....looks fun but ehh(wasn't in the nes stuff I got out of the garage a few months ago so...yeah )
