Import Gamers?

Postby Esoteric » Tue Nov 16, 2004 5:05 pm

Japan gets way more video game titles than we do, and the only way to enjoy some of them is to import. I modded my Gamecube a while back to play Japanese games, and at the same time, gave it a whimsical paint job. (If you can't tell, it's a square watermelon). :cool:

Naruto 3 for the Gamecube ships this week and i'm eagerly looking forward to it. Are there any other importers here? What do you guys like to import?

I'm a fairly new import gamer.... I'm importing as I learn the language, that way I have something to help reinforce what I'm learning and give me a shove to fluency.

On the topic of "Japan getting more games than us" is technically only true when refering to anime based games. For normal games, we still get all the blockbuster hits, just like they do, without editing. Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, ect. are all released in America.

The only real exception comes with re-releases of titles with new features... (FFX International; KH Final Mix, to name a few main ones)

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me
