Post by: Dethroned Emperor on June 03, 2003, 06:51:11 AM: your best bet is to import it, b/c I seriously doubt it will ever be released here in the states.

And probably better because it was made by Nintendo!

Post by: Crono on June 03, 2003, 06:05:42 PM: i dont care what it looked like it just sounded like a cool game aspect , but yera it would be wierd for American mainstream gamers, do you have to have a mod chip to play imports on a gamecube?

Hey!

It's working for me. I have a US modded cube w/ an action replay (which included the freeloader v1.06b) and a UK copy of Doshin. Everything works perfectly
And since Doshin has a 60hz option (which is turned on by default), there's no B&W problem!
Hope that helps.

Post by: SuperLink666 on July 19, 2003, 06:33:51 AM: Any new news on this coming to American I don't want to import because I will have to buy a freeloader thing + the game it will cost me like $125

Post by: Ms.Pikmin on July 19, 2003, 10:34:34 AM: Superlink, it does not have to cost you $125. I bought it off ebay. It was being shipped from the Uk and it cost me about $45 including shipping. Also, the Freeloader disc is only $20, so total it is possible to get the whole thing for about $65. Just go to ebay. The seller I used was "atticbug" and they actually have a listing for a copy right now. I have no clue how to set up the link but if you go to ebay it's there. Anyway, this particular seller is very good. They delivered to me in California in 5 days.

Hope this was helpful.

Post by: dmhawkmoon on August 03, 2003, 03:22:37 PM: You can get it off of www.gameplay.com if you can't find it on eBay. That's the only place I've found the PAL release online recently.
