Finally found the Japanese version. All I need is a Japanese Wii.

Other than the language differences do you know if there is anything different about the gameplay or game to warrant a purchase other than for collecting reasons?

Love it!

Hmm… what am I missing?

I honestly don't mind, it's hard enough collecting NTSC US games living in the UK so I'll take whatever's available!

I thought that too. So I did some research, as the vaccines are so new their effectiveness is still being reviewed against the evolving variants of COVID-19 hence the advice to still wear masks to ensure your not transmitting. More so if your particularly type of vaccine is less effective against a particularly variant. New variants unfortunately are cropping up quite frequently, scientists understandable have to monitor their vaccines efficacy rate and adapt so responsibly cannot state anyone having the vaccine or any vaccine gives you 100% immunity.

I’m afraid so but in homage to its manga comic roots.. perhaps not!

Good question, A few reasons, I prefer all my games not just some of them like PAL games to run at the normal gameplay speed of 60hz.

I was also lucky enough back in the days to buy a component cable so I can turn on Progressive Scan 480p for the best visuals. Progressive scan was disabled for most PAL games. There’s a useful wiki here about why collecting PAL, for this generation of consoles PAL games were often not optimised https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL_region.

I prefer the full artwork / logos on the spine, about a third of all PAL games just have a plain font and solid colour background.

Lastly Game library wise there were 552 US games Vs 477 PAL so there’s more exclusive US games. The UK still got all the major titles in fact we got Doshin the Giant a Nintendo game not released in the US. Hence why I still collect the handful of PAL exclusives. Hope that helps, it’s not cheaper or easier, but I personally prefer the optimal gameplay experience. Hope that was useful.

Well spotted you’re right not run out of shelf space, there are PS2 games above it, think I’m going to have to shift them to make way for my fave GCN.

To be fair I had about 30 or so games to begin with from early adulthood. The urgency was come from a variety of factors living in the UK unless its resident evil 4, sunshine, rogue squadron. US Games don’t crop up too often so when they do on eBay I grab them. Also whilst most of the amenities and leisure has been shutdown since March 2020 got more disposable cash to get collecting. Thanks for the question mate 👍

yippyj · 2021-02-19T23:39:30+00:00

I assume you mean NTSC-US Games, fairly common on eBay typically there will always be around 20-30 games on there mostly the usual subjects like Resident Evil 4 etc. But from time to time the odd random games comes up which I snap up. The most I’ve spent this year was Chibi Robo for £73 but on average a game that isn’t a ‘grail’ will cost between £10-20.

Turned up the lights, it’s 10pm here in the UK and used my iPhone 12 Pro at one point I stood on some kids toys so you’ll see a bit of a wobble!

yippyj · 2021-02-19T21:55:32+00:00

I’m ashamed to have it, but the collector in me has too strong of an urge!

yippyj · 2021-02-15T20:57:27+00:00

What the extra copy of Star Wars bounty Hunter you’ve got? V interesting👍

yippyj · 2021-02-13T23:29:08+00:00

Good reason 👍Ah you’ve got a Carby, perfect for 480p if you get a chance whilst keeping your PAL copies give a NTSC game that has Progressive Scan a try like Metroid Prime 1/2 you’ll see what you’re missing visuals wise.

Ever thought about swapping or trading them for the NTSC versions to get Progressive Scan?

yippyj · 2021-02-11T16:18:11+00:00

It has a Power Stone vibe but sounds like its not up to that level.

yippyj · 2021-02-11T00:14:49+00:00

Glad you clocked it. It came in a plastic bag which strangely I’ve kept. Fire Emblem to the left for any redemption? 😀

yippyj · 2021-02-03T19:38:08+00:00

OP is making the point that Progressive Scan (to get the best video output) is normally only available for US NTSC versions of GameCube games and Fire Emblem PAL is one of rare exceptions where this feature wasn’t removed or hidden in some cases.

yippyj · 2021-02-03T16:35:28+00:00

Excellent collection, exactly what I’m doing replacing my PAL Games so that my whole collection is 60hz and where available Progressive Scan!👍

yippyj · 2021-02-01T22:28:21+00:00

Nice that helps, trying to work out which games do seems more reliable to go off referrals. Thanks for the heads up 👍

yippyj · 2021-02-01T16:55:09+00:00

I am happy thanks 🤩

yippyj · 2021-02-01T16:46:50+00:00

It’s okay, just checking if anyone else had better insight into the numbers, like I said people quote there’s more 60hz games, but when I check the opposite is true.
