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.

Good news. Very good news indeed.
It's not that much more expensive to import games from America at all. I looked into it and at different web sites when I was considering importing a GameCube last year.
The only bad point is that European versions of games always seem to have new added features these days.
Take MGS2 for example. Boss mode, European Extreme, the title screen changing from red snake to blue raiden when you complete it (!!!!!!) and that extra bonus disc.
Plus, the price of the Datel thing? Probably around 30 quid right? Well, that isn't much I agree but you can get a game for that. And that is annoying. I looked at that DVD Region X and things for the PS2 and whenever I decided I was going to buy it, I would remember that I could get a game for the same price, so I'd end up not buying it. :-D
