Got the idea for this from the SNES import thread, but I wanted to expand the idea to other systems like Saturn or PS2. When I say import friendly I mean pretty much anything that can be enjoyed and understood without knowing much of the language. So no RPGs. Fighters, Puzzle, Shooters and maybe even some Action/Adventure games could fit the bill. And try to list games that never made it here, even in collections. So something like Real Bout 2 wouldn't make the cut. Remember:The more obscure the better.
Here's a few I own:
Groove on Fight - 2D fighter, This is part of the Power Instinct series. It's got an intersting cast of characters with some unique moves. Definitely doesn't feel like a clone of anything. However it requires a RAM cart.
Cyberbots - 2D Fighting, It's a Capcom fighter with giant robots. It plays a little diffrent than most 2D fighters. First you pick your pilot then your mech. This is the series that Jin (MvC) & Devilot (Puzzle FIghter) originate from.
Dungeons & Dragons: Collection - 2D Beat em' Up, You probably remember this from the good ol' Arcade days. Probably my favorite beat em' up ever. Sadly it never made it here. This collection which has both arcade games (Tower of Doom & Shadow Over Mysteria) can get a little pricey. My copy costed me $80 bones.
Hokuto no Ken - 2D Fighter, Made by the Guilty Gear team so it plays similar to that. Fast, fun and high flying.
Berserk - Pure Action, I loved this game. So simple yet extremly satisfying for some reason. You got a big ass sword and you hack n' slash through the entire game. Yeah it can get tedious, but it's a nice stress reliever. The boss battles are the best part of the game, they're so epic. This game captures the manga perfectly.
