I've been wanting to play Rakugakids for a long time now, but they never show up on the American EBay. Whenever I find it on the UK EBay, none of the sellers will ship to the US. So I have two questions. Of you people that live in England, can you guys buy me a complete copy, and I can pay you back? Also, what is the game like, is it fun, graphics good, etc.? Give me your opinions.

Well i have a mini review if rakuga kids on my site, if that helps. Some people don't like it but i think it's one of the better fighters for the N64.

Thanks for the review. Now, is there a way you can hook me up with a complete copy of the game? :)

Of course you're probably going to have problems running a PAL game on an NTSC SNES here... and not just because of the convertor issue.

You could always look out for the Japanese version... much of it is in English actually (from what I recall playing my copy... though I make no assurances based on my crap memory!).

Wha? Hold on, there was a PAL release? I was always under the impression that it was Japan-only. o_O The rarity guide only has a Japanese version listed and so does GameFAQs.

No, the PAL version definitely exists. There are about three on the UK EBay right now, except none of the sellers take PayPal and all of the games are loose.

Thanks, but that's way too much for me. I saw a complete PAL one go for about $20 shipped, and I would rather have a PAL one than a Japanese one if they're priced a lot lower.

I paid �25 for my Japanese copy so not much less than the opening price of that auction posted.

Oh, yeah, but, it's just not in my price range. I mean, I HAVE seen PAL ones go for a LOT cheaper.

Fans of Castlevania (Circle of the Moon, specifically) will recognize the bear from this game :)

Oh yeah, I remember that. :) I knew there was something cool about one of the characters, but I couldn't recall what. I really need to add this to my small Japanese N64 import collection someday.

Same. So far my only import Konami N64 title is...Hybrid Heaven.

No Konami imports at all for me yet. :( I have a strange obsession with Japanese-only Hudson N64 titles. o_O Got 2 so far (Getter Love and Bomberman 64), and there are a couple others I'm trying to get. Other than those I got ones from Enix (Wonder Project J2), Treasure (Sin & Punishment), and Nintendo (Custom Robo).

:(, if you see another complete one, can you buy it and sell it to me then? I'm willing to buy it as long as I can (with shipping to the U.S.) get it for about 30 US$ or less.

Thanks. I am also asking all of the U.K./Japan people to keep their eyes open. Much thanks.

Holy shit, i paid only 9.25 for a complete copy (japanese version) back in October and the seller was from the United States. I had no idea it was worth THAT much.

Yeah, that's a little more than I can stomach. I'm looking at a PAL Rakugakids in the U.K. for sale right now with a PAL copy of Mischief Makers on EBay.
