Hi. I recently completed my wish list of PAL SNES games, getting every game that i believe is worth playing today. I never played this system in its day (got interested in it around 2008), but it has become my favorite console of all times. Living in Europe in a country devoid of any retro scene (or console scene for that matter) has not been easy for my hobby, it took an unfathomable amount of time and effort. Years. But i made it.
I acquired a Super Famicom (plus the required accesories, like a stepdown converter). So now i am interested in collecting JP imports, and recommendations are more then welcome. I am not familiar with this library, except for Seiken Densetsu 3 (which is on its way). Whether they're english-friendly or not is not important. Reproduction carts are a valid solution for me, and i have played text heavy JP games with printed translation guides before.
I'm not interested in collecting US exclusive imports, because i am more than familiar with them.. Maybe wen i finish my JP collection of games worth playing today.
As for why i haven't tried alternate routes like modding, buying adaptors, a SD2SNES etc. It's a hassle not worth doing because of the city & country i live in. It was easier outright buying a converter and a super famicom.
