Okay, so if you've been paying to attention to CLub Nintendo, they FINALLY have Paper Mario up for download for a mere 200 coins.

I'm mad because I was waiting for it, but gave up and paid $10 for it... I only had to wait about half a year more, dangit!

even better is Kirby super star for 150. My only problem is I want to play on my Wii U so I will wait for that virtual console to be done

This is the main reason I am skeptical of getting any Japanese Saturn games, I don't want to skip through a bunch of text that I can't read. Anybody have suggestions on some to get that aren't difficult to understand?

I have a few recommendation for sega saturn imports

Panzer Dragoon
Puyo Puyo 2
Hanagumi Taisen Columns
Street Fighter Zero
Super Dimension Fortress Macross
Vampire Hunter

Most Japanese Saturn games that are Arcade ports won't have a language barrier; fighters, shooters.

Yesterday I picked up Diablo and Tomb Raider III for a buck each :D (Tomb Raider is a bit cracked but w/e)
Shame though that the thrift store I got them from only seems to have PC games :/
I guess there probably aren't too many gamers in my area :l

Kirby Super Star is available on the Dream Collection, and also, the version on the collection supports wii remote controls, whereas the regular VC version only supports gamecube and classic controller.

I am going for the Saturn Games I want to save on shipping. Both Lunar games, After Burner II and Space Harrier as well as Sakura Wars because it looks interesting as is cheap. Not sure what else is good as I never owned a Saturn.

Edit: Also got Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2). not sure if language barrier will be huge. Also went for both Panzer Dragoon Games.

Language barrier will render that game nearly unplayable. I played through SoM3 back in the day using a GameFAQs walkthrough.  Pretty much saps the fun right out of it, and that's what you'll have to do unless you can read Japanese.

I have played the SNES version so I know the story, but I suppose I should just learn Japanese.

For me it's less about the story and just knowing where the F#CK to go next and who to talk to :(

Might as well buy it now and get the discount whenever the game becomes available on Wuu VC. $1.50 instead of $8

Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts for the Super Famicom arrived today paid £5 total.

It's cart only and has slight damage to the button right of the label (seems some of the reflective gloss sheet has peeled slightly) and the back needs some cleaning alcohol to get rid of the stain there. But overall the game worked perfectly and was a good price (better than the other prices I looked at)

I would take a picture but my camera is terrible.

ugh, my 15 game order from "that reproduction site"  I made on 12/29/12 is still not here. contacted and they said was due to someone sending them wrong adapters. They offered to send the 6 they had completed and send the rest later but I just said wait till all are done. Was told sometime next week maybe they will be finished

46 days and counting, fml
