Games we hear about but can't find...

I'm not sure if this is the right board for this kind of topic, but I guess it can be moved if it's not. Anyway, have you ever seen or heard of some Famicom game that piques your interest buy you can't find any copies of it on eBay or any other kind of site like that? I really want to find a copy of "Kawa no Nushi Tsuri", but there are none on eBay, and when I look on search engines all I find are ROM sites, but I do not use emulators. So, am I just unlucky, or do other people here have about the same luck with other games?

Takeshi no Chousenju (sorry about the misspelling)

I know what you mean buddy. Ever since I stumbled upon this site I've wanted this game; Super Mario Family '92! Anyone want to sell me a copy?

You can find copies of Takeshi no Chōsenjō on Ebay from time to time. I got my copy for $3.00 US, so keep an eye out. The walkthrough on StrategyWiki (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Takeshi_no_Chousenjou) really helps out in beating it.

How about me? Seen any copies of "Kawa no Nushi Tsuri" on sale anywhere?

I got a mint CIB copy of Takeshi for real cheap from a german seller on ebay, they pop up every now and then so you'll find one soon enough

I've been able to pretty much find everything I've been looking for, other than the full Super Mario World, which is on some multicart. You can find ANY licensed game on YHJ, even the really rare stuff, if you're willing to pay the high prices.

Thanks for the help on Takeshi guys! I appreciate it...and that guide will come in handy eventually

Thanks again

<_<

Not Famicom but definitely a game we hear about but never really see.

Still looking for Nintendo World Championships... I've got a line on one for a somewhat reasonable price, we'll see how that goes.

Don't give me that look!

Several online retailers I usually use have it, so it seems that one is quite easy to get in Japan.
Send me a pm if you want me to get it for you.

Most of the time I've found every game that I've wanted to find, but for some odd reason I ALWAYS had trouble finding Sweet Home, until I found one CIB copy from a Hong Kong seller...

super mario world

xyzzy32 · January 18, 2009, 12:23:55 am

definitely Gimmick!

Gimmick's what I'm after next because if you really want to play it, you can't just load up a rom on flashcart - that sound chip is what makes it special to me, what do CIB examples go for lately?

I can't find a real copy Choujin Sentai - Jetman, though I've played it through emulation.

The same goes for Tokkyuu Shirei - Solbrain.
