Imported Consoles

Zero. All my consoles were bought locally dirt cheap. Would love an MSX2 though. May resort to buying a CD32 from England.

This strikes me as a rather circlejerky thread.

Reminds me of how I like to post about how I also know Japanese and how I'm moving to Japan next year.

I've got 2 NTSC-J PS1, and an NTSC-J PS2 slim. About half my PS1 library is NTSC-J because the prices on NTSC-U/C games is just getting dumb, and are missing content often times.

A lot of my stuff is imports. Many things used to be released in Japan long before they were in the US so I imported even when it wasn't a cheap option. I've been going to Japan regularly for the last 25-30 years so I've also picked up a lot of spares and stuff I didn't have at the time. I guess I have about 20 types of imported consoles excluding handhelds. And a few variations of most of them and then spares. Not even counting famiclones as a separate type and have a few dozen of those.

My reasoning was that games were released first and at that time less censored from Japan. I got some more systems since from Japan too primarily due to the high cost of things here in the USA. I remember importing the WonderMega once no one wanted one and I always thought the system looked great. My first import system was a launch Super Famicom, which is sadly yellowed as I had no idea oxygen and sunlight would do that to the system, but now that they are so cheap I got another that is not yellowed, but a later model.

Sometimes importing would be my better option for systems, as no one around here is willing or able to do region mods. That's how I got a Japanese 360, a couple of Japanese GameCubes, 2 Japanese Sega Saturns, a couple Japanese PS2s and a PSone. I have the Super CD-ROM^2 but no matching SuperGrafx.

I even got some from other countries other than Japan. Such as my first Dreamcast which was from Asia because at launch they were in short supply. It plays Japanese games but instead of a 33.6k modem of a Japanese model, it just has a terminator which encouraged me to get a broadband adapter instead anyway.

My current 486DX4 came from the UK. All because I regret throwing out mine when I had to move in 2007. It seems like in Europe they kept all the cool old computers.

I was not a handheld gamer, so I avoided them all until recently, but the majority came from Japan.


I have to go with the cheaper option with my income but I need to satiate my video gaming preferences.

My GBA SP is imported from the US, that's it.

Got a Japanese N64 recently and I have an American Nes, which I disabled the region lockout on.

A lot. But it's really nothing worth bragging about.

I don't have too many:
1 Super Famicom
1 White Saturn
1 Zen Black fat PS2
1 PC Engine Duo RX

I owned an NTSC-J PSOne for about half a year, got rid of it only just recently for a chipped SCPH-5552 which I paid £10 for. Got a Pocketstation too, which I love despite it eating batteries like a motherfucker.

Nah. OP just had to shitpost, again, about his latest thrift store find and got called out for the newfriend douche he is by a few. If he was expecting a circle jerk it didn't go so well.
