    Great list pephary!

    Doshin and Warrior Blade were JPN/Euro only and never had a US release. Were there any other Gamecube games that were JPN/Euro or Euro exclusive?

    I think some of the Cocoto titles are Euro only, and perhaps Largo Winch, Micro Machines, Conan, and Asterix.

    I was in the process of making a euro/jpn and euro list too, but after doing a lot of research, beside Doshin, Asterix & Obelix XXL 2, Conan, Knights of the Temple, Largo Winch: Empire Under Threat, Speed Challenge, MaxPlay Classic Games Volume 1 and a bunch of soccer games I couldn't find much that wasn't also released in the US on PS2 or in rarer circumstances the Xbox in the US. With Doshin being the only one I could find not on any other platform. I might consider Cocoto Platform Jumper close since its only US release is on Wiiware.

    Examples would be like
    Robocop released in the US on Xbox
    Barbarian (Warrior Blade ) released in the US on PS2
    Neighbours from Hell released in the US on PC

    Doshin is worth a play if you can find it on the cheap. It's not amazing but it has its own, endearing quirkiness.
    I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!

    Ah yeah, I was forgetting about Max Play. I bought it cos it was a PAL exclusive, unlicensed, "only" 10 quid and liable to be a rarity in the future. Probably not been proved wrong there...

    Giftpia and Doshin the Giant are my favorite of the "unreleased in the states" Gamecube games.
