Dreamcast Imports

[roach47]

Just found out how easy it is to play Japanese games on a Dreamcast and I've started looking into picking up some games. Anyone else into this and if so, whats good? Also, is there anyway to translate these games?

[wiggy]

No way to translate, but there are some good playable titles.  I'll have to take a look at the stash in the morning for ya...

[irvgotti452]

Here are some that are good. But i'll also remark on other systems you can find em on...state side

Fighting Vipers 2
Zero Gunner 2
Under Defeat
Border Down
Shenmue II (xbox1)
Rez (ps2)
Triggerheart Exelica
Space Channel 5 Part 2 (ps2)
Headhunter (xbox/ps2)
Ikaruga (gamecube/ps2)
Guilty Gear X (ps2/psp?)
Last Hope (neo-geo?)
Super Street Fighter 2X (everywhere?)
Capcom Vs. Snk 2 (ps2)
KOF games
And My personal fav DDR 2nd mix/Club mix

Thats just off the top of my head. A really great/odd party game me and my friends found ourselves playing is called "Get Colonies".

Last Hope is an international version as it was developed in germany. So also on Dreamcast EU/US. Please also try their newer shooter Fast Striker! Very nice game.

Headhunter, Shenmue 2, Rez and Fighting Vipers 2 had an english release but only in PAL territories. So you can play them in english as well.

I'd also recommend Ikaruga! The Dreamcast version rocks!

And please also try Psyvariar 2! A very nice shooter!

Then there are Segagaga if you like crazy stuff or L.O.L. and please also don't forget Twinkle Star Sprites!!!!

You need a deep pocket for some of those though.

Just ordered a copy of Firepro Wrestling D. No case for it, so I'll be on the look out for a 8 poly case cover.

Oh man! That "Newcomer Bundle DC" over at NG:DEV is looking pretty tempting right now. I already know about Last Hope, but you just brought Fast Striker to my intentions and that led to me finding out about Gunlord. These guys are a great team.

Been looking at these on ebay and play-asia and they can be a bit pricey sometimes. Is there somewhere else to go for these or have they become rare enough that this is standard?

[wiggy]

They've hit collectable status, for sure.  They're just gonna be pricey, and they aren't something you'll find at a flea market, so paying the big $$$ is about the only (legitimate) way to acquire them at this point
