    Default Good games that never made it to your country?

    Self explanitory. What were some great games that never made it to your country? I think the Japanese game Lagrange point for the NES should've made it to the US. Damn good RPG.

    Seiken Densetsu 3, or Secret of Mana 2 as it might have been known if it made it to North America. I'm glad a rom got translated, thats too awesome of a game to miss out on.

    Tobal 2 was never released here in the United States, and that game is pretty nifty. At least it was for it's time.

    Tobal 2 is some good fun I'd agree, but for me it takes a backseat to Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Valkyrie Profile, and oh, 90% of the great PSX RPGs... Europe was shunned for PSX, hope we'll get Xenosaga

    Every US resident should be saying Terranigma.

    As for me, hmmmm, Chrono Trigger, Harvest Moon 64, pretty much every RPG ever...

    Y'know, if I can ever manage to snag a copy to play, then I'll probably know just what it is you are on about, and maybe I'll agree.

    Take my word Cyber, Johnny knows what he's talking about.

    And for the list...

    Legend of Mana
    Chrono Trigger
    Chrono Cross
    Valkyrie Profile
    Super Mario RPG
    SaGa Frontier
    Final Fantasy Tactics
    EarthBound
    Lufia
    Xenogears
    Arc the Lad Collection
    Chocobo's Dungeon 2
    Lunar 2: Eternal Blue

    That was some of them. I'm sure I can go on forever.

    A few thousand Japanise games just to many for a simple list here

    Even just RPG's there's going to be hundreds at least and not just PSX and Snes either there are whole machines of games that never made it outside of Japan

    Even less made it to europe aswell on top of that but I am happy that some good translators and rom hackers out there have managed to give a new hope for new and old games to get an English makeover giving us English speaking ppl the chance to play good games and even understand or at least be able to read the story as the game progressess

    Yup.. Sad isn't it?

    I might also add that Parasite Eve never made it to Europe. BUT, Parasite Eve 2 did... which bothers me alot.

    Most of the great RPGs (except FF7-10)
    A heavy weapon does plenty of damage, but it does have to hit.
