drxandy 2,965 Member · Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) If anyone has anything I may have missed, please let me know and i will gladly add it.

Spent a few hours getting this together over the weekend and i hope it is helpful to yallllllll Edited November 5, 2019 by drxandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigly1234 108 Member · Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Great list! Matches up with mine as far as I remember.

I know there was a Naruto clash of ninja demo released in the us, so I messed up and thought this was the same, but wow thank you! https://gbatemp.net/threads/naruto-collection-gc-includes-gba-emulator.346289/ ^pretty cool read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a picture? https://assemblergames.com/threads/request-smash-bros-dx-playable-kiosk-demo.60664/ I think that's it, there's a gold color scheme one with almost the same simple design that I think is the event-you disc which is just videos Edit: just in case assembler actually does go down, I attached the picture I originally forgot which source I saw that, and because of that I stumbled unto this great blog thanks to you! https://www.demoban.net/tagged/GameCube-Demo Pepsi over there is doing really cool work! Going to have to peek over it some more because I probably will find something else. The Pikmin demo I never knew about, way cool. Double edit: also thank you because I double posted the smash event-you disc in the list and missed it!!

Tanooki 4,524 Member · Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Good job on the list, it's handy and gives me ideas if I want to grab another JP game sometime what I could look forward into digging into as options. I really do need to get the Adv Island Hudson Select though as I've got Bonk and Star Soldier (had Lode Runner, hated it.) I know PAL got some unique stuff too, pretty sure it's a shorter list though, and outside of wonky regional sports it would be interesting to see what goodies there were kind of like the english Doshin the Giant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man!! If you haven't, check out kururin squash. https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Kururin_Squash! I definitely need to research the pal stuff too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki 4,524 Member · Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Well when I was kind of digging into a few GC games I did grab a couple I ended up just not getting into (NIntendo Puzzle Collection, but even more so Gundam vs Z-Gundam.) I had looked into Kururin Squash as I like the GBA title. Radirgy and Zoids caught my eye then, as would have Lupin if it wasn't so reading heavy. But beyond that I'd need to start watching clips to try and remember more, and I think there was a PAL game or two that had some potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read your post I thought I was missing another disc for the Smash Melee set. Good thing that it was just a lack of attention on my part and I do have the complete set. Do you have more info about Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II Jitsuen-you Sample (*)? I've never seen a picture of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitsuen = demonstration so I got my words mixed around,confused you and confused myself haha. Sorrrrrrry I'm kinda bad at Japanese. The event-you is the indigo art, the movie disc is the gold, and the jitsuen is the green luigi tagged demo with retail art (which is the tough one to find, apparently). I thiiiink this is accurate. I changed out jitsuen to kiosk demo, for clarity. Edited November 6, 2019 by drxandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add this. I just need to figure out how I want to format it. I didn't feel the need because there's so many threads out on the web with people asking what games are English friendly but barely any with a list of everything. I understand very little to no Japanese, I just like romanticizing games we never had release here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On NA someone said there are 2 other copies in the hands of japanese collectors but I've never seen a picture of those copies. From what I remember the one with Luigi on the cover is just a NFR version and the game is the same but I can't play it right now to check. I will be able to do that in December so if you want, just remember me to check it and I will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy 2,965 Member · Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Apologies for double posting but I figured I would post this here and see if anyone has more info. The not for sale lenticular card for Zelda wind waker. Was it a pre-order bonus at a specific retailer? Was it a first print thing? If anyone out there has more information I would love a little background on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
