The latter has some very popular first-team or Nintendo titles that do not receive international release, but back in the day it was common for games to stay in their native Japan for months or even years, if they ever come overseas. No, we're not just talking about countless Famicom / Super Famicom Mahjong titles or horse racing titles that never left the coast of Japan. In the distant past and in the past we players in the West were caught up in the spirit of foreign wealth through the grainy screen in gaming; the rest of the gaming world there was, hiding across the planet.
More and more of our enthusiasm began to gain access to the internal resources to get our fatty tissue out of the forbidden & # 39; These days we are fortunate enough to achieve far more than ever, with previously unavailable games receiving official release and restoration galore. Last year Collection of Mana, for example, was the first time that Seiken Densetsu 3 was officially available in the West, and there's a 3D zoom coming soon.
And even if the game is not set in the West, if you find it in the Japanese switchch in the Shop we can easily download it anywhere in the world. This is true in the future Famicom Tantei Club remember to Switch, even though our miserable Japanese knowledge can present a major problem with that. Nothing has ever been announced in regards to a localized version, which is a shame. Despite excellent interpretations of various Japanese-only titles, there are certain games that we wish Nintendo personally brought to the West.
With that in mind, we'll look at ten Nintendo (or Nintendo-published) games that we'd like to see spread its wings and fly overseas. They start shooting each other from the NES to the Wii and none of them have ever been officially released out of their country, so it's time for a trip.
Famicom Wars (1988) / Game Wars Wars (1991) / Super Famicom Wars (1998)
As you might imagine from a clever naming convention hosted by Intelligent Systems, all three games above were a series of plans that would make its first appearance in the West a great start Wars of Advance on – you guessed it – Game Boy Advance. We've seen fans' renderings and maps from these games from the Advance Wars games, but we'd like to see if these get the full treatment.
And when you consider that 1998 seems a little late to the Super Famicom game, it was only a matter of downloading the Nintendo Power cartridge, a Japanese cart only you can download games from special kiosks. That being said, Fire Cone: Thracia 776 (more on that later) we got the full SFC release in 2000 long after the Super Nintendo games dried up in the West.
Famicom Tantei Club (1988/89)
Famicom Tantei Club (or Famicom Detective Club) is a Nintendo-built series of games that began life on the Famicom Disk System before being introduced to Game Boy Advance and Super Famicom for the last three games out of Satellaview in 1997. has worked on series including Gunpei Yokoi, Satoru Okada and Yoshio Sakamoto of Metroid fame
The games include solving murder cases by examining evidence and investigating suspects through a text command interface. Given its delicate title, it's very different from the original Nintendo team's first line, although given its complete reliance on the script, we can see why Nintendo's & # 39; 80s would not bother to place it. Also, by developer Mage in the helm of a Turnch remake of the first two games ((Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Kohthen and Famicom Tantei Club Part Two: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shohjo), however, there is hope that we may eventually see them officially formed. You can see some comparison comparisons remake on Nintendo Japan's official announcement page, or check out last year's Japan-Nintendo Direct presented by Yoshio Sakamoto himself:
Kaeru no Tame is Kane's Naru (1992)
Kaeru no Tame is Naru's Kane is a fun Zelda-esque adventure for the original Game Boy that translates almost as much as & # 39;For Cousins Cousins & # 39;. We've watched this game before on Nintendo Life and it's a constant shame that no official version exists in the West. Maybe Grezzo – the team responsible for a good switchback The History of Zelda: The Rise of the Link – can you take a closer look at this Game Boy gem next?
Surprising: Mōhitotsu No Takarajima (1996)
It's Awesome: Another Treasure Island is the first team game directed by the man now leading one of Nintendo & # 39; s Franchise, Mr. Zelda himself, Eiji Aonuma. He deliberately provided the above adventure game Marvelous a Link to the past
Custom Robo – Nintendo 64 (1999)
There are many games limited to the N64 catalog, and while we were lucky enough to sample games like Treasure & # 39; s Sin and Punishment with the Virtual Console, there is still a towel on topics that have yet to reach our shores. The Nintendo-published Ro Roobo is a RPG action game created by Noise in which you drive tiny, custom-made robots to battle on a platform called the Holosseum. The GameCube iteration in 2004 was the first to do it outside of Japan, but we would love the opportunity to build our original Custom Robos.
Fire Emblem: New Secret of the Emblem (2010) / Genealogy of the Holy War (1996) / Thracia 776 (2000) / The Binding Blade (2002)
It took us a while to get into the Fire Emblem golf here in the West, but now we cook with gas and still wonder what we missed years ago. While we have seen a tremendous amount of memories and memories over the years like Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Fire Emblem: Emblem's new mystery was a reminiscent of the original DS DS of the 1994 Super Famicom that also included some news chapters from BS Fire Emblem on Satellaview, too, but has never left Japan. The Birth of a Holy War it was the second SFC game in the series followed by a rock-hard sequel Thracia 776 and Integration range at the GBA in 2002, but none of them were officially made for the West.
With the success of Fire Cone: Three houses With Switch indicating that there is a large audience for these games, there are rumors that the 3DS 'scheduled return is likely to be replaced by a switch, so we hope it's one of the above. In the meantime, anyone who is killed by Fire Emblem content should check out Nintendo's latest article in the series, Super Smash Bros. Finally. Oops ?!
We make fun of it, at least. Forward!
Captain Rainbow (2008)
Come from the developer behind Lake-Robo, Skip Ltd. & # 39; s Captain Rainbow is a shifting idea of all the insignificant black Nick traveling to an island full of Nintendo side characters such as Birdo and Devil The earth of the devil. Including many mysterious quotes from Nintendo, he is one of the most popular games on the list due to the many habits it contains as Nick travels around the island giving wishes to the young players he encounters. Despite its poor performance in Japan and consequently seized any opportunity to get local production, it has become something of a luxury and has a lot to offer successful players shakes his head and hesitates about Nintendo's past.
Skip looks like it's mostly using Japanese-only titles and is far behind GiFTPiA, a great GameCube theme that has never crossed the Pacific although shown on E3. The little miracle that ever got Chibi-Robo, to be honest.
Kill Frame: The Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (2008)
Otherwise it is known as Frame IV, this exclusive Wii in the Tecmo horror series was originally planned to be released overseas but never before. The Wii U has received worldwide release Bedding Frame: Black Water Girl, but the fourth main entry remains special in Japan. If Nintendo had a truly successful console then found itself more loyal to the port department, hmm?
Zangeki and Reginleiv (2010)
Another Nintendo-published Wii title, Zengeki and Reginleiv developed by Sandlot and is once again an old Norse Ragnarok breeder. Including a good combination of Wii Motionplus and op-op Gameplay, it's obvious hack and while we may not need that door these days on the switch, it may have given you a good deal during the Wii ten years ago. Also, it's a sexy black box, so whether it's a bucket we still want it.
… oh, and Mother 3 (2006)
But that's it. Do we need more?
Apologies so that Mahjong fans – we could have finished the article nothing else. We're stuck with Nintendo-related games for the releases that were released in the West, so none of the 64DD or Satellaview games above. You have a burning desire to see Trading and War: Card Hero find out full Nintendo Treehouse treatment? What else would you like to see get the Nintendo Seal of Approval in the West?
