Blade Buster. Its a 2 and 5 minute caravan mode game that is on par with the PCE Soldier games. It's incredible seeing it run on a Famicom. The boss takes up the whole screen and everything runs so fast and smooth with minimal flicker. If you make your own cart you can use a battery game to save scores as well.


Holy Crap!  How have I never seen this one.  Thanks!

Good luck finding Metal Storm, I've been after the FC version forever now & it's even more expensive than the U.S. One.

I forgot to mention, I know you asked specifically for games that weren't released in the US, but there are some titles that are cheaper on the FC.  For instance...

FC Genjin - $30 (NES Bonk: $300)

Final Mission - $40 (NES SCAT: $80)

Yeah, Sukeban Deka is worth playing for a bit.

It's a wierd actiony-RPG thing.

I like those earlier Famicom games that are kind of retarded looking but playable.

Try Kickle Cubicle  the famicom name is Meikyūjima - "Labyrinth Island"   

It's a fun little IREM puzzle arcade port Punkic turned me onto a while a back.  I really enjoy this game, and play it whenever I have the NES turned on.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

This thread is a beauty, just to add Lupin III: Pandora no Isan.

There's a translation patch for it too.

Taking a cue from this thread I nabbed Akumajou Densetsu. The same seller had Ikari 1, and Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 at a nice price so I grabbed those also. I already have Super Star Force here along with Ikari 2 and Spartan X, so that gives me some stuff to start off with. So many titles meantioned on this thread, I am going to have to work my way through the list lol. :)

Also to add: Higemaru makaijima from Capcom. Really cool game.

I'm not sure if there is a NES version of it, it seems that there is but I can't find it anywhere.

There was an unreleased prototype of an English version of Makaijima.  Check it out here: http://forums.lostlevels.org/viewtopic.php?t=1345

...Samurai Pizza Cats -fun but easy platformer with awesome sprites

It was crime not having that one in America. Was one of the first ones I played after discovering emulation in the late 90s.

Also, esper bouken tai. This game is great and absolutely crazy (mainly because of the enemies) like its arcade brother psychic 5. I used to play phychic 5 when i was little (end of 80s) a lot, it was a very smart and strategic platformer game. Forgot about it through the years and then a few years ago BAM, i remembered playing it but i could not remember its name. I searched everywhere in the web for it by typing a few things about it that I could still remember but nothing... I couldn't find it. A year later I saw esper bouken tai in a video in youtube while i was checking out famicom games and I realised that it looked a lot like that arcade game that i couldn't find its name! Finally through wiki i managed to find the name of its arcade brother psychic 5...

To conclude, both are great games. Esper bouken tai for the famicom is a strategic platformer with adventure elements that are missing from psychic 5. I remember that the latter has a timer and when the time runs out a huge red devilish foot suddenly appears on the screen and stamps on the character. Nostalgic :)
