It's pertinant to the Import forum, honest! I believe I may have found my own contact in Japan and would like to impress him / her when we get down to exchanging games in our respective areas.
I already know Legendary Wings was put out for the NES yet never made it into Famicom form. I believe I read somewhere that Little Samson was never released in Japan either. Ditto for the Tengen and Camerica stuff, I presume. But how about other licensed titles? Especially the fun stuff.
If Dire51 reads this, what was your contact interested in when it came to NES games?
EDIT: Ironic that the threads I was searching for would pop up -after- I posted this query, but here's a list of games already confirmed one way or another, mostly by ArnoldRimmer83:
Snake's Revenge
Lone Ranger
Startropics
GI Joe
Legendary Wings
Strider
Monster Party
