Custom Robo looks really good, but I want to now if there are any other games worth buying. Thanks Edited by Yoshi64, Jul 9 2009, 05:03 PM.

You can find it here: http://s9.zetaboards.com/Nintendo_64_Forever/topic/419630/1/?x=90 Looks like the spreadsheet Floorcat made is still up: http://www.geocities.com/gato_de_piso/N64_gamelist.html

Sin and Punishment has a lot of English voice work, so the story is easy to follow... and it's an excellent game. Animal Forest is pretty good but there's a lot of Japanese text.

No fighting although I do really like fighting games, but not looking for one. No really long adventure games either, unless it's very very awesome, or a good RPG.

And then you can spread it between two slices of ZOMG-ANCIENT-HISTORY and you've got yourself an Indiana Jones-style artifact punch to the face. (So was it ME then, who came up with 296??) Needless to say, it's been a while since I've even thought about N64 JP-only titles. It's been so long that I can't remember if that spreadsheet is or isn't accurate... should be close, at least. Looking at it, Bangai-O, Bomberman 64, Choro-Q, Custom Robo, Dezaemon 3D, Nushi Tsuri 64, either Puyo Puyo game, SD Hiryu no Ken Densetsu, or maybe eve Ucchannanchan no Honoo no Challenge: Denryuu IraIra Bou might be up your alley (beyond what's already been mentioned in this thread), depending on how much Japanese you know and/or are willing to put up with. niniendowarrior Jul 9 2009, 11:16 PM floorcat, about that... umm... thing we agreed upon... how's that going? Ermmm... cough... mmm... yeah... I've been pretty ~~lazy~~ busy lately...

Either spill the beans already or take up your secret romance through PMs. alxbly Jul 11 2009, 06:19 AM Animal Forest is pretty good but there's a lot of Japanese text. That has multiple versions released on later systems which are better so that's kind of pointless.

That has multiple versions released on later systems which are better so that's kind of pointless. I thought you'd only played Animal Crossing on Wii? It's true that the Gamecube version is basically a remake of Animal Forest, so if you can't be bothered with Japanese text then try out that instead. The DS and Wii versions are basically remakes as well, but with online play added. Mop_it_up Jul 4 2009, 12:17 PM I have never preferred any remake over the original. I feel that all games must be played on their original system with their original controller, i.e. the way they were meant to be experienced. Anything else cheapens the experience and lessons the impact and value. Glad we cleared that up. In truth the Wii and DS ~~remakes~~ sequels are the better options now because of online play. But if online play doesn't matter to you, then it's a much closer call. Of the three games released in the West (on Gamecube, DS and Wii) it's the Gamecube version that gets the highest score from critics and players (check Metacritic or the user scores on Gamespot, both place the Gamecube version as best). But it's true that unless you're a fan of the series or an N64 collector then there's not much logic in getting Animal Forest. If you're still not sure though, check this topic for more info: http://s9.zetaboards.com/Nintendo_64_Forever/topic/7040806/1/#new Reagrdless of that, Floorcat's list are the main games you'll want to check out. I'll second Bangaioh and Bomberman 64, both are really, really good.

Veteran Member Posts: 209 Group: Member Member #192 Joined: January 26, 2009	I don't remember much about the JP Pilotwings but if I remember correctly, the menus and text are in Japanese. Fighting games that are import only... ...SD Hiryu Stadium is what you want which is the sequel to Hiryu no ken (which includes SD Hiryu no ken). Problem with SD Hiryu Stadium is that it partially requires the GB adapter and the Gameboy Hiryu game to progress beyond a certain point. The story mode can be completed but outside of that... not really. The secret characters and VS modes are accessible from there. Others in this genre... Custom Robo is pretty good too and kind of a wacky fighting game. I also recommend Super Robots Spirits for JP fighting games. I LOOOOVE this. Last Legion UX as a maybe. It's kind of like a Virtua-On clone except it has the patented N64 grain uglyness thrown to the max with bland music and sounds. If you can put up with that much pain, you might find some fun in it. For unique Japanese games I always kind of liked Wonder Project J2 even though this is really very much a niche market and very thick in Japanese. Another unique title is Yakuchuu 2. These games have very thick Japanese. Both are single players only too. I agree with floorcat, Bangaio should be pretty accessible and fun. Choro Q is crazy fun. Kind of reminds me of Mario Kart but with the Choro Q toy line. I remember there was a Tetris game that involved characters and that was crazy fun too. I'm struggling to remember the name though... Found it, Susume! Taisen Puzzle Dama: Toukon! Marumata Chou. For Strategy games, Super Robot Wars 64. It's good but only if you're a SRW fan. There's also Sim City, I think, but that was pretty boring for me. For Sports, Jikkyu J-League Perfect Striker 2 is the way to go. If you've played the US ISS, it's the same game engine except it's 100% licensed J-League and there's a Success Mode (aka Career Mode) where you create a character and run through his professional career (and romance). That's a little thick in Japanese though... For pro-wrestling, I'd go with both Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 and Tohkon Road 2. I find these excellent two-player games. I didn't like Denryuu Ira Ira because it seemed like a real rip off. Kind of like a party game but it's really cheap. Edited by niniendowarrior, Jul 12 2009, 05:26 PM.

Honestly I expect better from you but I guess you truly have changed. The original Animal Forest wasn't released in North America so it doesn't count in terms of getting the original over a remake. Though whether you like it or not the other ones are sequels, not remakes, so they don't count anyway. And I'm sure that could start a discussion about what the differences are between sequels and remakes which would likely turn to Pok�mon at some point but this isn't the time nor the place. Quote: Of the three games released in the West (on Gamecube, DS and Wii) it's the Gamecube version that gets the highest score from critics and players (check Metacritic or the user scores on Gamespot, both place the Gamecube version as best). Review scores don't mean anything, especially when it comes to Wii games. Most reviewers docked points because of how similar the game is to its prequels whereas the body text usually states things like "if you've never played AC before than this is the version to get". The only thing the GameCube version has that the Wii doesn't is the NES games but this doesn't matter to me since I own them all anyway.

Honestly I expect better from you but I guess you truly have changed. I don't see any anti-Nintendo rant here? We've been discussing different versions of Nintendo games, what an be anti-Nintendo about that? I've played all the Animal Crossing games and some of them I've played quite a lot (six months of solid gameplay on the GCN and about the same for the DS game), so I think I can discuss quite fairly what each version has or doesn't have. As for whether they are sequels or remakes... I'm just joking, that's what all those smilies are there for. But it's true to say that of the four games N64 is very similar to GCN and DS is very similar to Wii. Straight remakes? No... but not far off. Regardless, I acknowledged in the last post that the Wii and DS versions are the best... but probably in an anti-Nintendo way.

Maybe you should leave the trolling to me. I'm a lot better at it because I have far more experience in being blatant, snide, tactless, and inconsistent. Everything which makes a good troll. That and I forget to riddle such posts with smilies.

Veteran Member Posts: 113 Group: Restricted Member #194 Joined: January 29, 2009	I just bought Mario Kart 64 Japanese title for 15.50$ total, it comes with the game, the box, plastic sleeve, and some sort of warning sheet, no manual. How much is this worth?

Alxblymus Primus Posts: 8,722 Group: Admin Member #168 Joined: October 18, 2008	About $15.50, apparently. The answer to any "how much is this N64 games worth" question is always, always, always that it depends whether it came with a box and/or instructions, whether it's sealed or not, the condition of the cart/box/instructions and how much demand their currently is for that game. So it usually varies quite a bit. To gauge roughly how much a game is worth, look at other ebay auctions of the same game in similar condition. From memory, the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64 doesn't sell for high prices unless it's the version that came boxed with the Japanese exclusive grey/black controller:

Dark Birdo Posts: 5,141 Group: Admin Member #24 Joined: August 8, 2006	I always hate the question of "what is 'X' game worth?" There's never really a clear answer here because of how many variables to deal with, such as condition, location, quantity available at the time, the information available, etc. Prices fluctuate far too often for any answer to stick as well. The easy answer is that a game is worth what somebody will pay for it. Quote: Now I know your joking because I've not edited that post since the day I made it. I haven't read your post since the day you posted it. That's why I was surprised to see that you edited in all of that jazz about remakes including that quote which I knew was going to come back to bite me in the ass. The first rule of trolling? Never edit it in later. It will lesson the impact and it might not get noticed at all.

The easy answer is that a game is worth what somebody will pay for it. Here it is. Apparently the prices are pretty good for the game. I don't think it's worth a lot or rare, but someone actually listed just the game for 56 dollars hahahahah, but you know how some ebayers are. You can get the whole thing complete for about 40 dollars, but since mine has no manual I'd say about 20-35 bucks maybe. I dunno, it was cheaper than buying the American version boxed or let alone the game which was sweet. http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-N64-Mario-Kart-64-Racing-from-Japan_W0QQitemZ110309221037QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Vintage_Video_Games?hash=item19aef122ad&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 I also got the Japenese Pilotwings complete for 7 dollars total, it was also cheaper than buying the American version. I dont know how much of it I can actually read though.

Hahahah, I have been bidding on a bunch of different Mario Kart 64 (North American) completes for like 2 weeks and the bids have been going up to around 27 dollars, even for just he just game alone it's around 20-23 dollars every time, I don't know why the boxed version isn't going for more money, but being the bargain hunter I am hahaha I tried the Japanese version and won the bidding with ease, I think it's just because their is not that many people searching for Japanese games I guess, cause no one bid on the Pilotwings which is why I got for the starting bid which was 2.99 with 4 dollars shipping, and only one person bid on the Japanese Mario Kart 64.

Dark Birdo Posts: 5,141 Group: Admin Member #24 Joined: August 8, 2006	I guess that makes some sense. I don't think Nintendo 64 games have much value in Japan and most people in the US want North American versions so there's not really a demand for Japanese games. It's been a while since last I've really shopped for Nintendo 64 games so I don't know much about prices anymore. I miss it...
