Generaly cheaper too. Even after shipping. I won't go into since I've stated examples before. Metroid - Since it was on the FDS it could actually save. No passwords! Kid Icarus - ditto Legend of Zelda - Exploited the extra sound channel so the music and sound effects are different in some spots. Gun Nac - Some different enemies. I think some of the levels are different too. The game is also affordable lol. Bubble Bobble - I'm not sure but I think it saves your high(est) score. |

I cant import. Call me stubborn, but I'd put up with a botched, or even butchered port rather than deal with text and menu screens that I'm merely guessing at. It's important to me that a game feels intended for me to understand, otherwise the fun gets sucked right out. It's like listening to j-pop. I don't get it. If you like pop, might as well listen to pop you don't have translate. |

If you can beat the US version, you'll feel like a champ! Famicom version also lacks the insulting "HA HA HA HA" voice sample! Castlevania 3 / Akumajou Densetsu is the biggest and most famous example. Famicom version has more advanced music, but enemies do less damage. Also the US version contains minor censoring. Both are great though. --- End quote --- The famicom version of Bayou Billy also had multiple endings. :) |
