YOUR TOP 10 FAMICOM (that didn't see a US release)
26. Jul 2006 at 04:57
 
So I've always been a huge fan of the NES, and recently started to pick up some famicom stuff.  Not sure if this thread already exists, but figured I'd give it a shot.  Anyway, let us know what your top 10 favoritie famicom games are that did not see a US release or greatly differ from the corresponding US title.

I haven't played as many as others on here, but I'll give you the short list of those I have that I like:

Don Doko Don
Galaxian (don't know if it counts -- U.S. arcade)
Goonies
Joy Mech Fight
King Kong 2: Ikari no Megaton Punch
Rodland (don't know if that counts -- since it's PAL)
SD Battle Oozumou: Heisei Hero Basho
SD Hero Soukessen: Taose! Aku no Gundan
SonSon
Super Mario Family ’92: 10 in 1 (don't know if pirates count -- but it's got Super Mario World and the Lost Levels)

Heck -- that's ten! Alright.

Right on.  Son Son is a game that interested me, There is also a sequel on the PCE.  That Mario pirate  cart seems cool too. The Little Mermaid song - "A Whole New World" comes to mind and I suddenly feel very gay.   Embarrassed

Right now I've only got - Wanpaku Graffiti, Kid Dracula and a couple of the Kunio games - Haven't been disappointed yet.  Hopefully I can have a top 10 in a couple months.

Damn, awesome. I can't wait to get Wanpaku. I've heard good things about it. And I've got a mint Kid Dracula here that won't crappity smacking work. But I've heard it's cool, too.

Oh, and Famicom is wonderful for pirates. Oooooo, I love Famicom pirates -- looking for Sonic the Hedgehog, Power Rangers, Boogerman, Super DK, Kart Fighter, Earthworm Jim, Time Diver Avenger.

Speaking of pirates - I don't know if this is classed as one but there are two "fami-collection" games for the PC Engine that are documented but I have never seen.  the 5-in-1 and 6-in1 fami-collection.  Anyone know of these?  I would love to see a pic of the game/case!

Oh yeah, and here is a video of Kid Dracula (someone beating it in a ridiculous time).   Don't watch too much- it'll spoil the fun.

Hey JL, is it possible to play Sweet Home if you don't know Japanese? I thought it was RPG-esque and RPGs are impossible without knowing the -ese.

Someone created a patch for it that I saw online somewhere - but you would need to use emulation to play it that way.  I would pay to have someone translate it and put it on a cartridge somehow - I'm sure it could be done, no?  That game is supposed to be very good - the precursor to resident evil, both by capcom.

I saw this on utube the other day.  Really makes me want to try Joy Mech Fight (the one that they're made of floating balls):

That's a cool mix. I had been wondering what the game play on some of those would be like. And Joy Mech -- really fun because of all the different special powers that each character has, like raining fire from the sky, shockwaves through the ground and extended arms, etc.

Tetris 2 + BomBliss
Goonies
Yie Ar Kung Fu

Umm... that's it.  I'd like to play the Famicom version of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde because I've read on GameFaqs that there's more variety to the levels.  Oh, & Star Wars.
