My collection isn't that big, but I'm trying to grow it! (Pictures are URLs because I don't know how to resize them on the forum.)

Japanese OutRun for Game Gear, Genjin Collection (Bonk's Adventure 1&2 plus a minigame assortment), Pocket Monsters Red and Green, French Crystal, and German Red.

I'm sure other people here have much bigger collections, but I wanted to share mine!

Two games I really want are Trip World for GB (a JP/EU exclusive) and a German copy of Landwitrschafts-Simulator (Farming Simulator) on PS3 for shits and giggles.

My Saturn collection is all NTSC-J. There are several reasons for this, but the two biggest are it is way more affordable then collecting NTSC Saturn games and there are way, WAAYYY more great titles in the Japanese library that never saw release outside Japan. Sadly I have trouble playing the RPGs because my Japanese is not that great, but the system has plenty of action, platform, and SHMUPS to keep me happy.

I am also planning on collecting Japanese Dreamcast games once I finish my NTSC collection. There are about 30 games I really want to import for it.

I only have two Japanese import games right now, A Link to the Past for Super Famicom and Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. Price wise, they are actually fairly cheap with how much I got them for from a retro shop. Didn't even plan on getting them, but I think they make for a nice fit with the collection being that they are both boxed. I want to get some more if I can, mostly just the cartridge ones.

As far as import games that I WANT, the only 2 I can think of are Magical Pop'n and Do Re Mi Fantasy on SFC. I can't read a lick of Japanese, so whenever I consider getting any Super Famicom games I always do some research before to see if the game has an english text option or, if not, make sure that the game is not dependent on having to read text to figure where I need to go, which unfortunately means most of the RPGs are out of the question for me.

I don't own any import games but some of the few games I would like to have are:

JAPAN
Black Matrix 00 (PlayStation)
Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (PlayStation 2)

EUROPE
Divinity Anthology (PC)
Konung: Legends Of The North (PC)
Konung 2: Blood Of The Titans (PC)

Lately I've been LOVING the Japanese imports. A lot of things are just so much cheaper. I just got Gun Nac for 20 dollars. Smash Bros Melee $20, Mario Kart 64 CIB $5 dollars, Smash Bros 64 CIB $15, Link to the Past CIB $8, Yoshi Island CIB $12. A while back I got a Orange Spice Cube for $15 then I soldered my own region switch into it and voilà. I own alot more stuff too just not at those awesome rates.

Now's a good time to pick up imports; before the Retron 5 hits.

I have a couple imports. Rushing Beat for SFC, which was released as "Rival Turf!" in US. I also have the EU version of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for DS. That was an accidental gift...but the NDS is region free so it's all good.

I'm looking for quite a few Imports but one in particular is "Mario and Wario" for SFC.

Oh just stop it with those prices, are you serious? lol Damn those are some great deals XD

Most of my Neo Geo collection is Japanese, the price is insane for American versions, a $15 dollar Japanese version will be $2000 for an American version.
A few Saturn games, Strikers 1945, marvel super heroes vs Street fighter, X-men vs Street fighter.
Im really looking for Astra superstars
A couple Ps1 imports Gunner's Heaven, Policenauts
I don't know if the FM Towns counts as it was only released in Japan

I have a few Canadian NES games. I'd like to get some Famicom games at some point, but I've never seen one in person before.

No joke, just eBay auctions. In comparison to American games there just isn't that many people collecting Japanese stuff.

I've been trying to a get a hold of some of the Indian (yes the country) exclusive titles with no luck. (Not even on E-Bay). At least two games based on Bollywood movies (RA ONE, Don 2) for the PS2 and possibly PS3??? and Street Cricket 1 and 2 for the PS2. I have no desire to go to India so if anyone could point me towards some state side retailers that might sell these, I'd really appreciate it. I also enjoy porting Japanese action games (J Stars Victory Vs, Sengoku Basara 4) but i mostly stay away from RPGs and visual novels (my most favorite genres) due to the language barrier.
