Hey guys, I'll be going to London tonight for a week long trip and was wondering if there are any exclusive games for the PS3 or DS/PSP that never came to North America but hit Europe. I know it's a longshot, but there's always that freak chance.

Thanks :)

I believe you can find some copies of Breath of Fire III for PSP and (although I am less certain of this one) copies of Mega Man Legends for the same console.

Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland came out in Europe and Japan for DS, but not US. Nintendo probably realized just how much we hate Tingle over here.

I really like the TALES OF ETERNIA european port for the PSP ... technically is an exclusive because we only get the original version for the PS1 (renamed TALES OF DESTINY II).

Tons of them actually, at least on the DS and PSP. On the PS3, it's much more limited but there is a disc version of Siren Blood Curse and a disc version of Pain which are PSN only over here. I do have to say that it's probably not worth it to actually buy them in the UK. Many Ebay.UK sellers and even some on-line retailers ship to the US for literally a couple of Pounds and I have found retail prices in the UK to be much higher than buying on-line.

Apart from Siren on disc, there is also the Ratchet & Clank PSN Store game released on disc.

I'm afraid, I'll be out of town for another couple of weeks but otherwise I could have showed you around London.

But pls just ask away if you need any help with any suggestions, etc!

Yes, but only in Germany from what I've heard, bizarrely enough.

That's completely wrong. Siren Blood Curse, Pain and Quest for Booty were all released in UK versions and are all still readily available.

Get Patapon 2 if you don't want the digital download US version.

I never understood that...Tingle is such a fun character. I imported the game and it's actually a lot of fun. I say grab it if you see it!

I bought Pilot Academy, Colin McRae, and several Formula One games for the PSP that didn't make it out over here in the States, in Germany and Switzerland recently.

I don't know if it's any good, but I do know that Suda51's PS2 game Michigan got a PAL-only English release.

And obviously, there's the masterpiece that is Animal Soccer World.

Michigan is not the greatest game, but it has shot up in value over the past year. There was a time when there were 20-30 new copies on Ebay everyday for literally 5-6 pounds shipped. Now it regularly gets listed for $50-$60 US which is surprising considering it was released as a budget title in the UK.

Not a true exclusive, but Echochrome got an english release on umd in Europe. Well worth picking it up. Same with Puyo Pop Fever for PSP. But, both were also Japanese releases as well so not entirely on topic.

I think you're well within the bounds of the topic. Every one of the other games the rest of us have considered "European exclusives" were also released in Japan and in many cases on PSN in the US as well.

There is a wave of 'Phoenix Games' DS games out there. Those would just waste your hard earned dollars converted to British Pounds.

The only 'PAL' region DS game i've got is the above mentioned Tingle's Rosy Ruppeeland Adventures because Nintendo finally came out saying that it wasn't going to get the stateside release I had been long hoping for.

Is the DS Giana Sisters any good? It seems like somewhat less of a shameless ripoff this time. Looks like it's skipping a North American release.
