Are Megadrive games usually the cost of PC Engine games?  I thought in the U.S, most Genesis and SNES games cost about the same.

Japan gets 'em cheaper as well as earlier.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

For the North American release I wonder why "Shining & the Darkness" was changed to "Shining in the Darkness".  I get the feeling that somewhere along the way the name was passed verbally to someone who heard "and" instead of "in" and things spun out of control from there.

Shining in the Darkness sounds better IMO.

It looks like the deficit with Japan will continue to grow. We only get 3 games a week in North America, which means we will likely get 12 games in June while Japan gets 18 (Japan already has over 30 more games than us, we are at 96 while Japan will be at 133 as of tomorrow).

Paper Mario's release makes it more likely Super Mario RPG will be on VC... which I'm hoping will be released in Europe!

Hey, WuTangTurtle...  I just realised what your avatar is. I always thought it was a made-up Ganondorf with a strange green head... I just realised it is Link delivering the coup de gras on Ganondorf, at the end of Wind Waker.
I've never completely finished Wind Waker     I feel spoiled.

I've heard a lot of good things about Devil's Crush.  I'm going to have to download that one.  Virtual Pinball FTW.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

How so? Intelligent Systems developed Paper Mario while Square did Super Mario RPG, right?

But Nintendo owns the licenses to both.
