[BonBon]

Hands down for me it's splatter house

[NintendoKing]

Hi no Tori? Or maybe Kero Kero Keroppi 2? Hmmm...

[jpx72]

The Ninja kun games

[son_ov_hades]

Crisis Force

[VenomMacbeth]

Crisis Force

Agreed, tied closely with Recca and Tetrastar

[Timber]

I gotta go with Fantasy Zone 2.  It was the first Famicom game I ever bought and I still love it to this day.

[VegaVegas]

Mitsume ga Tooru

[satoshi_matrix]

Gimmick.

[Cheetahmen]

Gimmick.

Not sure if that counts, seeing as it got a Scandinavian release as well.

Anyway, I'd probably say Recca.

[dukbrand]

Crisis Force

Agreed, tied closely with Recca and Tetrastar

yes and yes

I think this just a hack, Im not sure, but i do remeber reading it was relesed only in japan
but past all the stalling but Super  Bros 2j is pretty boss

[L___E___T]

I think mine is Joy Mecha Fight.  It's not necessarily the best game or anything, but in terms of Japan-only games it's a masterpiece.
Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa, Armadillo, Holy Diver Parodius Da! Moon Crystal, Recca and the amazing RPG Sweet Home deserve a mention of course.


If you're talking japan-only 'editions' then I'd do with Tokkyuu Shireri Solbrain (Japanese counterpart of Shatterhand), Gimmick! or Rockman 2.  

Parodius Da! is amazing too but it actually saw a European release.
