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

My US PS2 should be here in a couple of weeks. Ordered from IGN in the end along with a memory card and Final Fantasy X.

Pretty much. Although I reckon you'll feel more at home there, mainly because their forums and website are more geared towards your tastes IMO.

I think most self-respecting Tactical RPG fan that uses the forum probably owns it. Haven't heard of La Pucelle though myself.

Indeed. These kids today eh? Pft. Back in the day when games had to last, now THEY were a challenge. ;)

I've been alright mate. And yourself? As I say, when I'm not attempting a social-life or playing games, I spend my surfing time at the NTSC-UK forums these days.

Wow that's a definite plus, i'm getting so fed up of all these people who can't be bothered to either work out what to do on their own in the game or go to gamefaqs.com and get the answer. God help them if they played some of the older games like Ghosts and Goblins

Ohhh you're Bleeders, i remember you from a while back when this forum was actually decent. How have you been

Thanks mate. :)

What you will find at the NTSC-UK forums is a haven of polite, friendly and intelligent import gaming discussion.

What else you'll find is your wallet taking a battering as well, since when a decent game is discovered, the enthusiasm surrounding it is so infectious, it causes muchos impulse buying. ;)

Play-Asia vouchers will be your friend. See Katamari Damacy and Bujingai as evidence of this. :)

What you won't find is many threads relating to either Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy X or "How Do I pass Area X on Game Y". :P

Btw... I use the handle Bleeders over there.

Well if they're as smart and polite as you it should be a very good place to go visit, better than here anyway where you can't even make a topic without it being hijacked.

Anyway must dash, continue with the import game talk people and i'll see you later tonight

Absolutely mate, my first port of call every morning, other than these forums which I sparringly visit for obvious reasons, it's the one place that caters for my tastes.

Do a search for Disgaea there and revell in the thread that is 15 or so pages long. :-D
