anyone collecting japanese game boy games?

[L___E___T]

I need to find all my flasher tools etc but yes I'll definitely let you know.  I've not read that SFC carts can be flashed anywhere though.

Just found this:

"well the idea is to find a kind of home made transfer to flash this beauty. I discovered that the SMARTBOY cartridge transfer could synchronize with GBメモリ running an application called "Flash Manager"."

So, it seems it IS possible, but not something I've gotten round to yet.  I think it's only possibel with some EZ Writer software.  See here:

Bit hard to follow, I don't have the energy right now!

one of my most recent JP GB purchases was a CIB Cave Noire. beautiful game, beautiful condition. can provide pics if anyone cares. the included advertising slip with Goemon 1 snes was awesome to look at.

I'm after a copy of Cave Noire - Aeon Genesis just finished his translation patch for it (in case you need it):

just picked up Noobow, X, and FC Genjin 2, cant wait to try them out! Especially Noobow, I hear its quite a unique title. X is apparently the inspiration for the Star Fox games...

[fredJ]

Yes I saw you got a Noobow. It was a nice find.   I don't have it myself, but some day maybe...
I never figured out how X worked (I don't like Star Fox either), and the slow moving FC Genjin (Gb Genjin?) isn't my kind of game, but definitely quality games both.  
X is probably one of the rarer GB games published by Nintendo.

can anyone suggest some Japan or Euro only games that are must haves, and is not Trip World? 
Im mainly into Platformers and shooters. Some puzzle games....

Im just getting into the original GB system. Picked up "Burning Paper" today cause the label looked like a cool Rockman-esque platformer, turns out its a not as cool puzzle game.

puzzle star sweep is an amazing falling-well style game, done very very well, multiple modes, shares a programmer from panel de pon/tetris attack (ryuji kawaki). JP only.
there's a fansite here http://bankbank.net/starsweep

perhaps also try kirby star stacker, it has high production values (it's a nintendo 2nd-party developed game i believe) and is really cheap. not JP or Euro only though.

shooters i always hear people say "zas", think it's JP only. there are some really interesting euro-only platformers, amiga ports and the like. "the fidgetts" published by Jaleco might also have gotten a US release, but it's got euro written all over it.

p.s. i have heard people say good things about burning paper, been meaning to play it

it's directly from the auction lol

Oh right, I thought you meant Mysterium for some reason.
It's still alright artwork, but Mysterium is much superior...

"Japan or Euro only games"? As in: not released in the US? Or you mean they have to be released in either Europe or Japan?
Most games not released in the US would probably qualify as being obscure, so it would be difficult to call them "must have" titles that few people know about.  I personally think most of my games are must have titles, so I don't know....

I just beat another game: Daiku no Gen-San: Robot Teikoku no Yabou, a game in the "Hammerin Harry" series. It was quite alright.

wow, i just bought mysterium sight unseen! yipee! haven't played it yet. but is it euro only?

[Parodius Duh]

Fredj what are the games in your post above?

Im looking for suggestions of games not released in the US.

[stealthlurker]

I only have a few. Around 30 CIB JPN gameboy games. Thought about going all out, but realized most GB games haven't aged well imho. So I decided to only pick up titles that really felt timeless in quality to me. I'd be more likely to go "hardcore" into japanese GBA games because they have a SNES/SFC quality to them.

Well here's the "crown jewel" of my boxed JPN gameboy collection so far:
