However if it was named lickle over here it would just be a giant joke as us Americans are quite immature lol

It didnt get a whole lot of advertising either which didnt help. What alot of people dont know is that Takeru was a small company formed by former Capcom employees that left sometime after working on Mega Man 1 to form their own company so they could have total freedom in developing their games. They also made Cocoron, and if you'e played Cocoron or Little Samson, it not hard to tell. Its too bad people didnt know this, or it could have really helped the sales.
Takeru certainly knew what it takes to make great games for the NES. Both Cocoron and Little Samson sport great graphics, music and gameplay that could top most releases and its a shame that such a small company with such a focus on great polished action platforms had to die due to lack of sales and publicity. There was even a Cocoron 2 in the works for the PC Engine that was canceled. Damn...

Most repro carts are for Japanese only releases that have been translated to English or other special circumstances. Most likely you will not find a repro cart on regular releases. I personally would like to get Terranigma, the Firemen, Clocktower, and Secret of Mana 2 for SNES. I haven't found a place that does repro carts for standard release games, common or rare, doesn't matter.

Not sure you really need a repro for Firemen. I have the SFC cart and its very playable from what I can tell. Unless it has gotten more expensive.
