1. Metal Slug (PS2) (Japan, Import Cost: $65 USD)
Good: Has the same sense of quirky charm as the 2D scrollers. The box says NTSC/J, but all menus and voices are in English.
Still frantic, Still fun. A great transition from 2D to 3D.
Bad: NO 2 PLAYER CO-OP!!!. Camera can be annoying.
Famitsu: 7, 7, 7, 7 - (28/40)
The reason I got this one, is that I'm absolutely in love with the Metal Slug series, and a huge SNK fan in general. This one probably won't make it here anytime soon too. Pissed at the lack of co-op though.
2. Rockman ZX (DS) (Japan, Import Cost: $50 USD)
Good: Nice update to the look of the Zero games from GBA. A stiff challenge, the way Mega Man should be.
Bad: The bottom screen is pretty much useless
...The reason I got this one is that US versions of Mega Man have been "watered down" before reaching North America.
Famitsu: 8, 8, 7, 8 - (31/40)
3. Milon no Shi Zora Shabon: Puzzle Kumikyoku (DS) (Japan, Import Cost: $40 USD)
Good: Milon is adorable.
Bad: Not a remake of the NES platform-puzzler as I had hoped. Instead, it's a Bust-A-Move clone for the most part, but the boxart is awesome, and my wife likes it.
Famitsu: 6, 6, 6, 7 - (25/40)
