GBA - "Europe Only" game list

[Sebastian]

Just wondering if anyone has a full list - or at least some of the titles that never came here.

So please...enlighten me LOL

[mikeetler]

And if anyone does have a verified list of Euro releases, please let me know as well so the info can be added to the rarity guide.

In the mean time, there are a number of non-US releases in the rarity guide though I'm not sure how many were Euro only. If you look to the left of the list it will state "Europe" or "Japan" though.

maybe I am stupid....but I do not see how this helps O_O

[TheRedEye]

The only game coming to mind is Smurfs, though they might have brought that out here by now. And if you're counting name variants, I know Ninja Five-O was released as Ninja Cop.

[Sebastian]

the only thing i know of are the Football (soccer) mannagers

[soniko_karuto]

uhm, sorry bout that.

It's my chaps problem there, they removed the sorting stuff, they did had also a list, altohugh i don't remember the exact place where it were.

[Doonzmore]

Pinky and the Brain and Ace Lightning were Euro exclusives i believe.

Just requires a bit of searching ;).

I've seen their list and it's pretty useless. Try telling somone in Europe that only 102 GBA games were released over there. It's a shame that both Nintendo Europe and Nintendo Japan have such limited release lists. The Nintendo US site is far from perfect but at least they are 95% accurate.

Considering that I see a lot of games on there that I know were released in North America, I don't think that's going to help much.

To be helpful though, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that Go! Go! Beckham: Adventure on Soccer Island (http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/371/371975p1.html) has never been released outside of Europe.

Haha looks like you were just as far off as nintendo. They had TBA games in theat list.
I am seeing roughly 800 Euro releases. I am not positive if it is 100% correct .

Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Bad Dream. Supposedly we *love* Tiny Toons here. :hmm:

Using the link you provided, it was 2 pages with 50 titles per page and a third page with 2 games. If you can explain how I missed the other 700 titles, that would be great, since I've gone to Nintendo's Euro site before this and got simillar results.

I didn't check that link until after you said it was only 102 games (That was right) but i knew that was not 95% right as you had stated.
Then after searching specific "files" on my PC I pulled up just over 800 titles.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Trying to keep my post ambiguos enough that this thread doesn't get locked like the one yesterday.

Was International Karate Advanced (http://www.studio3.co.uk/html/games/game_ika1.htm) released in the US? I think it's a euro only title.

AIA released it in the US as International Katare Plus. It's a tough one to track down, though there are a couple of eBay sellers with new ones.

"Sheep" also seems to be a Euro only release for the GBA.

I managed to buy one at a local shop which imports stuff from all over the world.

Ok, even though I suggested looking at the rarity guide for some Euro only titles, most of the one's I've seen mentioned are already listed. Here's the current list from there, which is far from complete. Any info that can be added (titles, publishers, etc) would be great. Some of these may have been released in Japan, others may have been released in the US under different names, so any changes that need to be made, let me know.

Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue - Nintendo
International Superstar Soccer - Konami


here we go again with ISS LOL

can't believe Nintendo didn't release Hamtaro in the US, did you get Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games (or something like that)

[mikeetler]

Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue - Nintendo

The US got two Hamtaro games (Ham-Ham Games and Ham-Ham Heartbreak). Rainbow Rescue is scheduled for a US release in 2005, but until it ships it stays on the Non-US list.

As for ISS, tell me about it. Surprisingly Konami didn't bring it over a Wining Eleven, since that has been doing well for PS2. Then again, there seems to be some 5 Euro soccer games for every 1 US one.

Maya the Bee: The Great Adventure


That one is a very nice platformer, based on a book/animated series that I grew up with.

Pick it up if you can

[josekortez]

Santa Claus Saves the Earth did come out in the U.S. I've seen new copies in Toys R Us before. Not lately, though.

Yes and no. If you check the description here (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=192462) I mention that US Toys R Us stores carried it Dec 03 but they were European carts, boxes, manuals, etc. There is no US version of the game (box with ESRB rating, manaul or cart with -USA part number inplace of -EUR part number).

It's really no different then EB carrying import Dreamcast games, which they did for a while. The game being sold in the US does not make it a US release.
