Most of the PS RPGs hold up pretty well. Except for Wild Arms where the remake is a lot better because the 3d models during fighting were pretty loving bad. Hard to beat this list...

Japanese games can run on American systems with no hardware modifications. You just need to snip two plastic tabs on the console itself Mother 2 is 10 dollars, Chrono Trigger is a buck, all the SNES final fantasies will run you 3 dollars in total for the set of three, Secret of Mana is 50 cents, and for the hell of it get Dragon Quest 5 and 6 since those are a quarter each. Oh and Super Metroid for the SFC is the same as the American SNES version, right down to having everything in English. What I'm saying is I walked into a used Japanese game store one time and I thought I was dreaming because I thought it was impossible for any of this to be real, but it was and is.

Well I have a friend who has enough games to open a gaming museum so it's time to knock him out steal his poo poo. Panzer Dragoon? Thanks! Radiant Silvergun? Sure thing! Sealed Earthbound with stickers and poo poo? Eh, you can keep that one. I'm going to have to take a trip to Japan, it's probably less in airfare than buying american released games.

Panzer Dragoon Saga is another game that's ungodly expensive in English, but the Japanese version is 11 dollars and the game even comes with English instructions translating the menu commands.

Game genie method doesn't really work I tried, games always had issues, so I had to cut the tabs. SFC is a nice looking system but the money is better spent buying more games.

I am strangely OCD about playing games on the original hardware, but I can easily snip two suckers if I can actually get my SNES working. I know a shop down the street that has an SF, so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully all I need is a new pin strip.

Hmmm I don't read japanese, but I can get through these text heavy RPGs by following these english guides that tell me when to press A. Sounds like fun. I mean except for Super Metroid, I've thought about doing that but I'm just gonna replace the battery on my american copy at some point so I can save again.

I have this jap import of a mech game called Framegride, for Dreamcast. It's from the makers of Armored Core. Sort of their take on Virtual On. There is a series of questions in the beginning, about 10 of them. All in japanese and all determining what kind of poo poo you get to start. After that, it was fun trying to reverse engineer the game to figure out what the gently caress was going on.

I was looking through the good GBA RPGs and I realized that I was just missing Superstar Saga and no way in hell am I getting yet another version of Final Fantasy 4 or 6. I thought it had a longer list of RPGs but the PSP and PS2 still has more.

psp has a bunch of good ones and also emulates gba pretty well, and has native psx support snes emulation is a bit shoddy though

I think the N64 had the least amount of RPGs. And Aiden Chronicles was garbage.

Poonerman posted:Per Wikipedia: It still is kinda weird that Nintendo doesn't bother to localize most of their Japanese games as a quick way of giving the Wii-U somewhat exclusive games. Like even if they packaged them together or with extras or some poo poo or even gave them VC releases. Because the next big release is late October and that's Bayonetta 2.

The total list of N64 RPGs that made it to North America: http://www.gamefaqs.com/n64/list-48?region=1 It gets smaller because three of those are Quest 64, two are Paper Mario, and two are Mega Man 64. corn on the cop fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Jul 13, 2014 |

I never bothered to look through Gamestop's bargain DS games because they're not BOGO or 75% off. But they had Advance Wars Days of Ruin for 5.99, Deep labyrinth for a dollar and I found a copy of Scurge Hive which was a very good GBA game and was ported to the DS. Scurge plays like a Metroid/Diablo hybrid, it was also a dollar too.
