Yup. That's a classic example. Made into a game that was a part of the Mario series. I'm thinking stuff like Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru (FC) = Yo Noid! (NES), stuff that got a cartoon/mascot/movie license in the US from some completely unrelated Japanese game.Retrogamer0001 wrote:Doki Doki Panic / Mario 2?ExedExes wrote:That's not the only example of a licensed game in the US that was re-purposed from something completely different in Japan (in some cases, even Japan slaps a popular license on a game made in the US)
EDIT: This site on 1up has more of these re-purposed & licensed examples, be sure to check out all the pages!

I think the real blame lies with the French for creating such a terrible name in the first place.BoneSnapDeez wrote:The crazy thing is that one of the Japanese games has the Y's misspelling.Stark wrote:See also Y's vs. Ys.BoneSnapDeez wrote:Everyone misspells Yars' Revenge as Yar's Revenge.

Any one noticed a spike in retro-games prices? Its not rare to find NGC games for $30-40, yet the consoles itself is in the $30-40 price range. This does not make sense because games can be emulated, pirated, downloaded from a digital service, or simple gets an HD release like WindWaker which in theory should decrease demand for older games and hence decrease their prices.
