Great to see an American collector with such passion and commitment to the Japanese gaming scene; it's a rare thing. I've been a hardcore collector of Japanese games since 1989 and I can see from your library you have first rate taste. Gambatte!

We had an official dbz release of every dbz game in France because we had dragon ball on national tv since 1988. France is after Japan the 1st market in the world for mangas.

Gundam Endless Waltz is my favorite SFC fighting game outside SF2 Hyper Fighting. Everything is so well done. Great video!

[melvinblackburn]

Macross Scrambled Valkyrie is a top 15 all-time shoot em up for me. It just hits a certain sweet spot. Cotton 100% is certainly on my wish list. Thank you for being a key motivation for bolstering my Super Famicom collection.

[Nortradax]

I think the Macross game is set during the TV series because in Do you remember love Millia doesn't pilot a VF-1 because she doesn't get small, Max gets big.

When I was buying Super Famicom games I wanted, one Japanese seller threw in Ghost Sweeper Mikami and I was quite pleased(a lot of Japanese sellers give u free games and trinkets, but it's usually like Famicom Transformers or something like that). Like u said, not the most amazing action platformer ever, but solid fun.

Great picks! one of my favorite SNES puzzle games is Tsuyoshi Shikkarishinasai Taisen Pazurudama! Also that Psychodream gives me some EL Viento vibes but a lot more good looking

[solracrod]

Love the Municipal Waste shirt! Awesome video as well!

[undamned]

Great video! Totally agree on Tetris Battle Gaiden! Many memorable battles with friends through the years. It's up there with Panel de Pon, for me. I still need to pick up That Gundam fighter. I know some people are really into it, along with the Sailor Moon-S fighter.

[TsukiCondor]

I love these buying guides, could you do one on importing PC Engine games for people that don't know how to read Japanese. I just got a Turbo Duo R and not really sure where to start, I did happen to get my hands on a copy of City Hunter for cheap, but it would be helpful for more recommendations.

[PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Great selection,

I bought Psycho Dream after John Riggs talked about it. I love telenet games it's like a super frantic Valis. Game has a few Phallic enemies that are pretty hilarious.

Gundam Wing Endless Duel is probably the best fighting game on the system. Great combo system, why is this not played at EVO? Roster is 9 with 1 unlockable.

Cotton is great and not too hard there are some codes that make it easier. It seems a bit washed out, I don't know if it's the game or my Framemiester settings though. I got my copy for about $50 Last year loose with Manuel.

I dabbled in the rest in Emulators so I can't say much about them other than Tetris Battle Gaiden which has fantastic music.

[andrewjara]

Does anyone know about pricing on super famicom games in akihabara? I'm trying to look for a boxed copy of Mother 2 and I want to find out how much it would cost
