Yey, Datel have worked on a new Action Replay cartridge/disc for Nintendo's box of delights.
"What?" you may ask, "Another stupid cheat cart?"
Well, no, I'm not just getting excited about a cartridge that lets you get all the cheats on Rogue Leader or get all the lives in Super Monkey Ball, but something much more important.
That's right, the GC Action Replay actually lets you play games from other countries on your good ol' British cubes. Can't wait for the (hopefully) excellent Godzilla: Destroy all monsters? Don't want to get old before Metroid arrives? Well, now you can import those choice games!
Of course, you're still going to want to buy others here, as the price difference is staggering at times and it's always nice to have titles like Resident Evil in English rather than Japanese, but for once it will give you the choice of which country you get your games from.
Nice.

Well if they go on a 'lets only release all the good RPGs in Japan and America' binge like they did on the SNES (Mario RPG, Earthbound etc.) then I will get one.
I think moi shall be getting this, some games only come out in the US of A so this is hella useful.

I reckon they'll just stick to on screen text with Zelda which I think is probably for the best.
I mean, if the voice actor who plays Link is a retard then it just won't be the same. It's better just sticking with the text.
However, they may find the perfect person for Link in which case it would be cool. But for young Link in Ocarina of Time, I don't reckon voices would be the best idea. Children's voices are never good! Tidus's voice as a boy in FFX is sooo annoying!

It's a possibility that we could get it at the same time as America, we're supposed to be getting Animal Forest at the same time as USA. Anyone know if it's gonna have actual speach or they're gonna stick to on screen text with Zelda?

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a world wide launch for that game. Would be nice anyway :)

I'm tempted by this but in a way i'd rather have the European versions not sure why I just would. May have to get one for Zelda though, I really don't want to have to wait any longer than I have to for that game.
pb, i have seen you posting this same thread on several boards now. Are you working for datel or something!?
