Question on importing SFC games.
Umbra:
I'm thinking of importing Street Fighter II (if it's cheaper than US), Megaman X trilogy and Super Metroid next. It seems that I'm more interested in importing games now since the retro store around me is a bit uppity on their prices unless you want dirt cheap filler games like Death Valley Rally and the like. I'm not the best when it comes to retro collecting for SNES since I grew up on PlayStation :P
Is Mother 2/Earthbound really worth trying? Everyone makes a huge deal about it and it's expensive as hell but whenever I talk to retro gamers around here they all tend to agree that it's kind of lame and not really worth the hundreds of dollars it sells for. If it really is worth trying I'll probably just pick up the import of Mother 2 and find a translation/walkthrough guide to help me out with it since I've heard they have guides on the web for playing imports.

Street Fighter 2 is pretty cheap. I don't think you'd save any on that. You might save some money on the others though.
There's a retro store like that here too. I don't know how they stay in business. Been there a few times and store is always empty because most the prices are 150% over ebay price.

Just buy it on the Wii's Virtual Console for $8. If you enjoy it then track down a cart of it :)

Well, the SFC version has a much better label in my opinion :)

Should I get the Jap version of Street Fighter 2?
