I'm thinking about going for a CIB set of the earliest (1996) :n64: NTSC-J titles that have either a NTSC-U/C variant or some North American commercial appeal.

This will be a thread about these early titles and providing factual information about their release including dates of release and public reception! Some I have found already via Wikipedia. If you would like one added just post in this thread and I will edit this original post!

Super Mario 64 (June 23rd, 1996)
Pilotwings 64 (June 23rd, 1996)
Wave Race 64 (September 27th, 1996)
Eikō no Saint Andrews "Glorious St. Andrews" (November 29th, 1996)
Jikkyou J-League Perfect Striker International Superstar Soccer 64 (EST DEC 1996?)
Mario Kart 64 (December 14th, 1996)
Chōkūkan Night: Pro Yakyū King "King Choukuukan Night Baseball" (December 20th, 1996)



One tidbit to add: Mario 64 and Wave Race 64 were re-released in Japan in 1997 with Rumble Pack support.

These titles were labeled "Shindou" versions. Here's a picture of Wave Race 64 (NTSC-J) from my collection. The arrow is pointing to the label strip that denotes this version.

I currently own humble, but nice collections of NTSC-U; NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii

Currently taking a break from a 2012 collecting binge.
