Best Import Gamecube games?

RE*AC*TOR

What games with no european release are really worth tracking down?

Japanese or US...

Mr E

I-Ninja (US)... fun platformer. Some sort of "PS2 exclusive" deal was setup in Europe, so it never got an EU release.

Alien Hominid Works a lot better on the Cube controller. Wasn't released for the Cube in Europe.

Can't really think of many more. Surprisingly nintendo were very good to us with the GC despite the Animal Crossing fiasco.

Haven't played them myself, but I've heard the Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen games are good 2D fighters.

Also going the import route may be your best chance of getting your hands on Ikaruga.

My copy got lost in postland. Have to wait another week before playasia will send me another copy.Well at least I hope they will. They have to investigate the post office or something first.

Anyway, its a great little compilation. Mega Man 2 and 3 and two of the best games ever and the other 6 are great games.There are alos two obscure arcade games included.

Question for evad_lhorg, did they remix the music? The NES music for megaman 2 always sounded better than any of the remixed music. You've got to love bubbleman's music

It's also the only way you SHOULD get Ikaruga!

Once you've played the US/JPN version, you cry any time you see the PAL-crippled version:(

ill be honest in saying i dont own it. i still must get myself a credit card and pick it up. i have played megaman 1-4 on the NES and they are amazing games and rock hard too. megaman 2 is probably my favourite though.

The 60Hz mode is fantastic and is as good as the NTSC version.

It wasn't last time I played it.

Also I heard a while ago about a couple of recent Gundam games that were supposed to be good(and in English too:!), but I never got round to getting them. If their any good, let us know:D
