N64 owners like me, if you go to IGN 64 they have a list of games, that are bargains, the best to get this year and the best overall.
But many of them are not even here.

There's a countless number of them including some great games like: ExciteBike- out next year!, Battle Of Naboo- Out in US in dec 15th, out here next year sometime, Banjo Tooie- dogged with framerate problems so we do have an advantage of getting a better game, Indiana Jones and the infenal machine- will it ever get released here!
And that includes Pokemon Gold and Silver! It's so popular here, they still don't want to release it here at the same time, but why?
The same thing happens to the PS2 release date and the reluctance to make a solid GameCube release. !
But i hate to see games come out in America first, i want to get it the same time as those americans and not 5 months after!

It's really in there! It starts off with the normal tune than, falls into the good ol' tune!

Ages ago I saw the intro to it, but it may have changed. But anyway it was the original Zelda theme being played over it, something that was dearly missed from TOOT. Toot!

I've listened to a few Majora's Mask tunes, and it sounds like the good old, Zelda musics back. Can anyone back this up, cos' it's great to hear a old tune, in a new game!

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine better bloody get released over here!! It is looking rather good and is just what the N64 needs.

They get it cheaper! I think it's cos' of the stupid VAT tax, Sony is trying to avoid! Sony, Nintendo and Sega (and Microsoft) need to know we are one of the most important game markets, we spend virtually half our money on their games, and we expect a good game for a good price, give it a release date at the same time as any other country and make sure you put enough effort to make the game as good as any NTSC version, if not better!

US gameboy games are compatable with the UK gameboys and lots of shops sell the US ones. I can get Pokemon Gold and Silver now if I wanted, but I don't because I'm not a pokafan. I used to buy US gameboy games all the time when they first started coming out, as the UK only had a choice of about 10 games and the US had loads. I got Contra and R-Type 1 a few months after my first gameboy (which I got from Special Reserve when they first came out - weird to think how long ago that was)

You missed out the fact that they get everything cheaper, the yanks.
