Here it is my first Japanese game (and probably my last we will see!)

Everything is on the cartridge! Everything is in English!

I was surprised how fast it was delivered from Japan - 3 DAYS!

@Zuljaras Here's hoping it won't be your last, my manic collecting friend.

There must be around one-hundred releases exclusive to the Japanese region with English support that are worth having.

@Magician As long as I actually like the game and it has FULL English support both in text and voice, I am all in

@Magician I would love to know what some of the ones on that list are.

Nice. Might go for that too. Does it have a reversible cover?

That kind of statement really needs backing up with some evidence. Bring out the list!

@gcunit Yes. The same one as the EU version, where Link is climbing a mountain.

HOPEFULLY an N64 controller:

GO GO GO!!

Would it be fair to preface the list with the fact that I enjoy...most genres of games? Your mileage with the list will vary depending on your preferences in genres. That said, I'll try to list the Japan-only stuffs, and not include games with releases in other Asian regions (Taiwan, Korean, Hong Kong, etc). And only games with English support, even though there are Japanese releases without English support I would recommend.

Bear with me, this may take a while...

...will be editing through the day...

Edit: ...argh, brutal. More than a few in my collection are "this got released elsewhere, this got released elsewhere, this got released elsewhere...". Then there are the SD Gundam and Super Robot Wars games, which are mixed regions and I would need to visually confirm where they're from.

Edit: ...in hindsight I should have said 50. Because I wouldn't recommend mediocre stuff like Little Busters, Kamen Rider, or Megaquarium.

@Zuljaras Thanks for confirming. Something else that just occurred to me, is this all-in-one release compatible with save files from the original non-dlc version? I'd have thought it would be, but have a slight doubt.

@gcunit Yes After beating the game on my original cartridge without ANY updates I popped in the new one and I got to continue my journey on my original save file + all the DLC extras

@Magician Well done for posting that list, appreciate it. Interesting mix there. I have a few of them already, and there's at least a few more I'd like, although some of them are OOS at playasia.

Anyone used playasia's 'track it down' service? I'm not sure what they mean by being required to order the item once the price is confirmed - that mean I'm obliged to order whatever the price, or is there still the option to back out?

@Zuljaras Sweet, thanks for confirming.

My most recent purchase was Metroid Prime Remastered. It has been pretty fun exploring that game for the first time. I dabbled my toes in the game many years ago for the GameCube release but it didn't interest me for long. I am much more interested this time around.

Just bought Wargroove at the eShop.
It's currently at a 75% discount, at least here in Europe.
