Added a few to my collection today:

Sonic Heroes
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour
Puyo Pop Fever
Zelda Four Swords (haven't decided whether to keep it. Is it good?).

All black label and have been having a lot of fun with them.

I think I will be getting rid of eternal darkness though. Just kinda got bored of the side stories, and I'm not very good at the game.

KEEP THE GAME! (Or, play it then sell; or, sell and emulate, but just play it ) I actually felt the same way when I first tried playing through it, but it's one of my favorites now.

I felt the same way with Eternal Darkness. I shut it down and came back to it later and liked it much better the second time. I'm certainly not going to tell you not to sell since it does have some clunky controls but it is a good game. How far did you get into it?

As for Four Swords it's definitely worth trying to see if you like it and you can play it one-player without a GBA. If you're playing with others you'll need a GBA and link for each person.

Eternal Darkness is an odd game. It has a lot of cool ideas with sanity effects and targeted combat, and an interesting story... but feels very dated and clunky. You can really see it's roots as an N64 game.

Personally, I wouldn't sell my copy. But if you don't love the game then it's a good candidate to drop because it demands decent value on the second-hand market.

Just don't sell too quickly on relatively hard to find games like this. I sold Killer7 because of the awkward controls, and wasn't able to find a decently priced copy anywhere after remorse set in.

I like the game enough that it's a "keeper" in my collection. I was surprised at how much fun the single-player experience was (low expectations going in) but it's still much better if you have friends who can join in.

Don't sell without playing a bit first.

There are some NTSC-J and PAL games that look cool to me:
Giftpia (but this is in Japanese)
The Hudson Selection Volumes, especially Adventure Island
Doshin the Giant

Nintendo Puzzle Collection, Hudson Select vol 1, and Dream Mix, were hot back when I was importing cube games. Puzzle Collection is still one of the best party puzzle games ever made.

Here is a list of the Japan importable games I am looking to add at some point:
Battle Stadium D.O.N.
Bleach GC
Bomberman Land 2
Donkey Konga 3 (though all three have different track listings)
Doshin the Giant (prefer Pal but not sure how I'd play it)
Dragon Drive: D-Masters Shot
DreamMix TV
GiFTPiA
Hudson Selection Games: Lode Runner, Star Soldier, Bonk's Adventure, Adventure Island
Kururin Squash
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes Special Disc
Mr. Driller Drill Land
Naruto 3
Naruto 4
Nintendo Puzzle Collection
Pac-Man Vs. Club Nintendo edition
Radilgy/Radirgy
Shikigami no Shiro II
Tower of Druaga

Also, if one has Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life are either Another Wonderful Life or Magical Melody worth getting?

[fastbilly1]

Kururin Squash is maniac in 4 player.

I'm getting a region switch modded console and that and Nintendo Puzzle Collection are at the top of my list.

Anyone ever order from the Amazon importers? If so, do games come complete? They don't list what is included so I'm not sure and don't want to spend money and get a disc only game.

Giftpia is one of those games I kinda want to learn Japanese just to play. I adore Skip games.

I'd like to learn Japanese, reading anyway, to play that Doshin the Giant, and Captain Rainbow.
