US Only release list
« on: January 22, 2008, 01:08:33 PM »
I'm starting this thread as a way to find out myself what games were only released in the Good ole- U.S.of A.  ,obviosly there were several games that came out in Japan that never saw the light of day over here.... where there a few that Japan missed out on from the US?

Theres only two that I can think of off the top of my head:

Beyond Shadowgate (SCD)
Order of the Griffon (TurboChip)
Darkwing Duck (TurboChip)
Talespin (TurboChip)
Camp California (SCD)
Yo' Bro (TurboChip)
Ghost Manor (TurboChip)
Madden '850 BC (SCD)
Bonk 3 CD (SCD)




Any others?

did they actually release Camp California in Japan?

Did they have a reason to?

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Disney games were released in Japan.

Yo' Bro
Ghost Manor

That's all I can think of. There's probably a couple more.

Ya know, I'm pretty sure Cosmic Fantasy 2 was released in Japan being that there is a Japanese version of it and all.

It doesn't sound like the asian market missed out on much.  What the USA market missed out on however is staggering.

I always get Yo Bro and Camp California confused with one another.  I always think they're the same game, or at least they should be.  I doubt either will ever find its way into my esteemed collection of goodness.

Ditto.  But man, North American Turbo fans got the shaft. Sucky dot com.

Don't forget the Four-In-One Gate of Thunder; and if you want to get picky, then you could add the pack-in version of Ys (same game, different label).  How 'bout Meteor Blaster DX - Signature Edition?  The differences are pretty slight, so I don't know if that should be counted separately.

I always felt the same way.

I still think Yo' Bro looks like loads of crap, but since Chris Covell's in-depth webpage look at Camp California, I'm obsessed with obtaining a copy. The game looks awesome, and it's got some really nice looking graphics.

I'd count the 4-in-1 and MBDX-SE.
