Right. What with Freeloader finally emerging from it's vapourware status and actually finally being released. Here are a few import recommendations;

*All US-releases unless otherwise stated.

- Metroid Prime
- Resident Evil 0
- The Legend of Zelda (March 24th)
- Animal Crossing
- Skies of Arcadia Legend
- Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution [JPN]
- Ikaruga [JPN]

First and foremost - what decent games aren't coming to the UK? I'll be getting an Action Replay for those and only those, because the PAL versions (providing they exist) will always be best. So far, I've seen:
-----
Animal Crossing. And, for the benefit of viperfire, this is a game in which you live through your life, become a respected citizen of your town and tackle troubles in day to day life. Basically, the game of life. Strange graphics, but (alledgedly) fantastically addictive.

Winning Eleven 6. Anyone got any details on this one?

Cubivore. Looks fun, anyone played it?

Ultimate Muscle. The 'crazy jap wrestler', any information?
-----
Does anyone know of any other decent games not getting a UK release? If so, please post 'em.

Heh... Barbecues everywhere, all-year-round!

"Steuth!" :S

Still, it's gotta be better than all those American holidays that must come with the US version.

Animal Crossing will have messed up seasons in the Australia and a load of stupid Australian holidays.

Harvest Moon hopefully should get a UK release.

I don't really see the point in importing games that have already been confirmed for European releases either.

The only ones I will be interested are ones like Harvest Moon and Pro Evo 2 that will probably never come out over-here, unfortunately.

Unless - like Animal Crossing - they come-out in Australia...
Then I wouldn't need to spend £20 on a damn Freeloader!

Not going to bother about Freeloader. Most games get here with in a few months and waiting isnt really too bad. I have Uni so I dont get to play that many games with doing my course and watching films etc. Plus with Freeloader you need to keep swapping discs all the time. Maybe pick up an Action Reply and import a few titles over the summer when I will have more time, but games that I want for the GC are nearly out here now any way so no harm in waiting a few weeks.
