Title: I have a SFC now. What JP games are a MUST PLAY
Post by: Nando on March 05, 2014, 03:24:35 AM
Looking for those rare gems. They don't even have to be perfect games either. Looking for the odd, truly JP experiences here.

I haven't played it yet, but I've heard good things about...what is it?...Bishin Densetsu Zoku or something like that. It's a combination of a beat-em-up and a mode-7 racer, with a cyberpunk kind of atmosphere. Maybe someone else can shed some light as to whether or not it's actually a good game.
There's also Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie, if you're into mechs and shmups.
Hagane isn't a Japanese exclusive, but you'll find the SFC version for far cheaper than the SNES one and it's definitely a must-play. Same goes for Contra Spirits & Super Castlevania IV.
Also, Front Mission: Gun Hazard

umihara kawase is a fun platform/puzzle game that is definitely unique. HCG101 has a good article on it here: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/umihara/umihara.htm

If you like the Crush games, get Jaki Crush.

I'll play US games eventually, found an inexpensive bridge. Just really looking for really JP games. I'm not planning on having a big SFC game collection. the Flash Cart is in my future.
That being said, I did just order TMNT in time and I'm considering buying Rockman & Forte. f*ck a bunch of X megaman ;)

Nice man. Turtles in Time is my favorite SNES game next to Contra Spirits and Actraiser. Also check out that Jaki Crush MotherGunner mentioned. I had no idea it existed till he mentioned it. How, I have no idea, but I checked it out and if you're into Alien Crush and Devil's Crush you'll love it! It does have amazing music.

So funny, I have the EGM Actraiser screen shots burned into my memory, but I've never played the game. Isn't it like a sim/action game?
Definitely will give the pinball game a look. I love pinball games on consoles. I had been emulating Battle Pinball and was totally sold on it.
Contra FTW!

Most of my SFC carts are JPN releases of US games, but the few JPN-only I have are worth mentioning stand out (and should be cheap to acquire):
Pop'n Twinbee - Awesome Konami cute'em up. If you like Detana!! Twinbee for the PCE you'll love this.
Parodius - Also on the PCE, but this one is just as much fun.
Spark World (http://www.videogameden.com/sfc.htm?spk) - A Bomberman clone, except everyone is a vehicle!

Seconded for Parodius...there's also the meh Super Bonk games. Also the "Go! Go! Ackman" series is pretty enjoyable and at last check won't drain the wallet too much.

Super Bonk 2 is WAY better than the first Super Bonk. Give the 2nd one a try.

Gokujo Parodius.
Also, pretty much all Murican games are cheaper in Japan, even the Donkey Kong Country games.

Check this one out too, though it's getting up there in price thanks to our vault-owning friends.
