"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

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

What's the basic premise of it?

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.

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

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.

Ah well that's a quick way to stop my interest in it. I thought it was a gamecube game but then just thought it had gotten a PS2 release. Ah well i'll have to make do with the about 20 odd games i need to get on with :-D

There is a Harvest Moon game on the PS2. Same sorta thing, but you maintain a farm and have to fall in love, get married etc.

Yea i remember Harvest Moon from my SNES days but what with Biohazard Outbreak, Front Mission 4, Hitman Contracts, La Pucelle Tactics and generation of chaos IV coming in the next few days added onto the games i already am playing i really have got to just take a few months back from getting games, actually play the ones i have then start up again once Star Ocean 3 comes out
