This thread ended when someone said
EARTH DEFENSE FORCE


But I also second the notion of Radiant Silvergun, and even Vib Ribbon.

 

[segarr]

Sexy Beach 3 lol

 

[Link1110]

 

[Haibane]

 

[ShutEye]

Its not the best import game ever but it deserves mention:

 

[GitarooMan]

My vote is for Seiken Densetsu 3 or the SNES Dragon Quest games.

 

[robot]

- Panzer Bandit
- Dragon Ball Z Snes Series
- Alien Soldier
- Pulseman
- Yu Yu Hakusho (the Genesis version that Treasure made)
- The unedited version of Streets of Rage 3
- Jump Super Stars & Ultimate JSS
- Tobal 2
- Princess Crown
- The Saturn version of Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter
- Capcom/SNK Card Fighter 2
- F-Zero X Track Editor

 

[jarrod]

Gunman's Proof!

 

[Mistwalker]

Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan! for the DS.

Still the best DS game in my opinion, sorry Elite Beat Agents...

 

[Finaika]

Macross for the PS2.

 

[Jugendstil]

Persona Innocent Sin, definitely.

 

[radios shipping overview]

- Alien Soldier

Damn, I can't believe I forgot to mention this. I'm slipping.

 

[JayDubya]

DQV gets my pick.

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

Earth Defense Force 2 (ps2)
Sin & Punishment (n64)

These are AWESOME action games, and you don't even need to know any japanese to play them.

 

[mr jones]

You guys forgot Xmen vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Street Fighter, Soukyugurentai, Radiant Silvergun, Dragon Force 2, Strikers 1945 II, Dragon Slayer Remix, Princess Crown, Samurai Shodown 3 and 4, Cyberbots, Langrisser IV, Elevator Action Returns, Necronomicon, Sakura Wars 2, and D&D Collection for the Saturn.

Fixed.

 

[Tain]

Espgaluda.

but

hueg battle garegga pictures

is pretty awesome

 

[Whimsical Phil]

That was released for the Gameboy.

No, it wasn't. Mario's Picross was released for Game Boy, sure. Mario's Super Picross, the much better sequel, was never released in the U.S.

Trying to dismiss Mario's Super Picross like that is the equivalent of saying that we should dismiss Rondo of Blood because The Castlevania Adventure was released on Game Boy.

There was also a sequel to the Game Boy game (Picross 2) that was never released over here. Nintendo has broken my heart when it comes to picross.

Is this battletoads?

What? Are you serious?

 

[Unison]

Kururin Paradise, no doubt.

 

[pancakesandsex]

For me its Radiant Silvergun

Dodonpachi dai oh jou says hi

 

[Rabid Pancake]

Policenauts plx.

 

[Dimmuxx]

Ouendan

 

[Alts]

The battletoads thing is a 4chan joke. Donkey and Phil can relax now.

I will have to repeat the Radiant Silvergun choice.

 

[lachesis]

Tokimeki Memorial: Forever w/ You.

Yup. It's only genre that US fiercely refuse to grab hold on to - and this game is a pure gem, the original..

 

[John Harker]

 

[binary]

Dreamcast: Nettou Golf

ok...so it's not the best, but it's a damn good golf game.

 

[billymcnilly]

Its not the best import game ever but it deserves mention:

YES THANK YOU

and to think, they had roughly 75 percent of this game translated before they pulled the plug on localization

 

[Hellraizah]

Magical Drop 3

 

[oBa]

I'm convinced half the people who list Sin and Punishment have not actually played it. Pro Tip: It wasn't that great.

For me it would have to be.

Shadow Tower Abyss.
Langrisser series
Dracula X (PC Engine version)
Vib Ribbon
Do Don Pachi
Proper Translation of Final Fantasy Tactics
Super Galdeic Hour ^_^

 

[Pellham]

RS2 > RS3

 

[SantaC]

Goemon 3 snes

 

[bigswords]

For the DS.

I have to say my 2 favorite imports are

1) Jump Ultimate Superstars!!!
2) Ouedan

 

[gururoji]

Gururojichanpu of course! Thumbs up to the Umiharakawase shot, and the Super Mario Picross box--that's rad box art!

I love all 3 Kururins, Rhythm Tengoku, the bitGenerations series, Band Bros., and Drill Land...that's what comes to mind off the top of my head. There's a cubic crap-ton of awesome PS1 games that didn't make it here...

Anyone here played Otostaz (PS2)? I own it and don't even have a way to play it, but I loved it when I played it on a friend's import PS2...

 

[Soul4ger]

that was released on the ps1.

I stand by my original post.

 

[vireland]

This could be a very long list, but here's a quick list off the top of my head (some mentioned already)

Shining Force III - all chapters
Sakura Taisen
Tengai Makyo anything
Policenauts
Earth Defense Force 2 (1 is really too short to be a "best never brought here")
Radiant Silvergun
Shubibinman 3
Urusei Yatsura (MEGA CD)
Mother3
Pepsiman
Jump Superstars
Growlanser 1 & 4
Last Armageddon
Most of the Langrissers (except 1, which came out as Warsong)
Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4a/b (still love this series, but it hasn't aged well)

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Gonna have to go with the PS2 Macross game.

Here is my appreciation thread for those who don't know about it.

Wonderful shooter/mech game by the geniuses at Sega-AM2. I still say it's the second best mech game ever right after ZOE2.

Bah, that reminds me someone owes me money for sending them a copy of it...

 

[DrEvil]

DAIGASSIO BAND BROTHERS! Jam With the Band.


hands down best multiplayer on the DS.

 

[Shouta]

Growlanser 1 & 4
Dragon Quest 4 & 5 Remake

A few of the Black Matrix games are quite good too.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

My short list:

Almost every great pro wrestling game in recent history
Vib Ribbon
Policenauts
Tobal2
Radiant Silvergun (plus a lot of other scrolling shooters)
Earth Defense Force 2
Panzer Bandit
Mother 3

 

[Gigglepoo]

Radiant Silvergun (plus a lot of other scrolling shooters)

I thought this came out in the US. What was the name of the shooter than came out at the end of the Saturn's life?

 

[Tsubaki]

I'm convinced half the people who list Sin and Punishment have not actually played it. Pro Tip: It wasn't that great.

Well I own it and I like it better than any other action game I've played. *shrug*

But I'll forgive you since you listed Langrisser series. Growlanser 1 needs more love too.

 

[pubba]

I think I am the only person in the world that DIDNT like Earth Defense Force 2 (PS2) - Sheesh.. What an overated piece of garbage.. Thanks for buying my copy MeltPotato!

Having said that - my vote goes to the subliminal TOKYO BUS GUIDE on DC (Jap)

 

[SpacLock]

Its not the best import game ever but it deserves mention:

I played the shit out of Snatcher. I really wanted to play this.

 

[KTallguy]

I played the shit out of Snatcher. I really wanted to play Policenauts.

Is there ANY super cool hidden way to play it ? Is it best to get the Saturn version instead?

 

[Tsubaki]

I think I am the only person in the world that DIDNT like Earth Defense Force 2 (PS2) - Sheesh.. What an overated piece of garbage.. Thanks for buying my copy MeltPotato!

Garbage? Nah.
Overrated? Most definitely.
