Are there any websites with reviews or info on import classic games?

Like that tell you if you need to be able to read Japanese in order to enjoy the game and what not? So I don't have to make a thread everytime I need to know things about a SFC game or a Japanese Mega Drive game?

I have 170+ SFC games reviewed on my site at www.videogameden.com

Also, there's Steve's excellent www.rvgfanatic.com :)

Your sites nice, but I need to know things like if you need to understand Japanese to play the imports even for imports that are released in the US like Zelda 3. Consider adding that to your site if it's not already on there and i'm just missing the info.

That's an excellent idea ! I usually mention it in my last 'Point of view' on each review page, but a 'Japanese language/english friendly' score would be a lot more explicit. I'll do that in the future :)

There is always http://www.segagagadomain.com/ for sega imports. He gives a quick gameplay impression and will usually make a comment as to how English friendly the game is.

I was browsing your site and I just learned something mind-blowing:

There is a prequel to EVO: The Search for Eden!?!? :o

I MUST find a copy!

Yeah, quite surprising huh ? I found out about it while browsing Yahoo Japan auction site, and thought 'what the hell is this' ? Then I did some research and gathered some information (mainly from Japanese sites). It's not as 'arcade/action' based as the Super Nintendo version though. I remember that a Japanese guy had a complete playthrough on the Japanese Youtube, I can dig out the info if you want to see the whole game in action... it sometimes shows up on Yahoo Japan so you may be able to grab one.
