"The Import Gamers Thread"

I figured seeing as there seems to be a fair few people into importing like myself around here that we should have our own thread to talk about the latest American and Japanese releases and also to have a bit of a laugh at the European gamers and feel superior with our access to better games :-D

So lets get talking about the latest games coming out overseas

Hehe. Nah mate, although the title is misleading.

Forgot to mention, it's on GameCube only. Worth getting though if you have an import-enabled GC.

There was me thinking it was a game about getting animal safely across a busy road. :-D


Sounds quite interesting actually might have a mooch around the net and check out a few reviews. Has it had an American release or is it japanese only

Well, I guess it's a life-sim of sorts. Imagine The Sims, but actually fun to play.

You create your character and you name your town. You find somewhere to live and you see Tom Nook and he sells you a house, then you start paying off your mortgage.

Paying off your mortgage can be done by selling items, uncovering rare artefacts etc. The possibilities are vast. Once your done paying off your mortgage, you can add to your home, which again, you pay Nook off for like the mortgage. Basically, how you might do it in real-life. TBH though, it's such a big game, so much to see and experience.

That's all i need another addictive game :-D

What's the basic premise of it?

Addictive mate. Paying off your mortgage has been so much fun. Probably.

Mine plays some of the time. She loves Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. She wants to learn how to play PES3, but I refuse to teach her for fear of her beating me. ;-D

No problem mate. It'll be fine. I have 2 Memory Cards with a mixture of PAL, JPN and US saves. :)

Region wise, the only other pain in the 'bum' peripheral was the Dreamcast Lightgun... the games wouldn't let you use guns from other regions. Good job it only cost me a fiver for US House of the Dead 2, I had to buy a 2nd Jpn version.

About 2 months back yes.
