Hello everyone.

It has been a while since I have been on here, so I figured I will start to ask with a question. 

As the subject stated, What would you consider to be the most important import for you to get from Japan? And Why? 

I am going to exclude the obvious, Dracula X, Street Fighter 2, and for me Ninja Gaiden!

What I really want is/are Macross 2036/Lovesong and all of the cosmic fantasy games!
It is what it is and it will be what it will be!

Looking for some games, but I will prolly never find.  Sapphire, Magical Chase (US)

I was fortunate enough to pick up one of the big ones on my list at the same time I got my PC Engine (Final Soldier). For me, the biggest ones not mentioned yet would be Batman and Die Hard.
I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

To me, it's Spriggan since it was my first foray into import gaming. Plus the fact that game it tops! Drac X is a no brainer but I got mine second hand (cheap but gamer copy for sure). Since my Spriggan has been in my possession since '91, I feel it's the most important.

Other great imports that have special meaning are Star Parodier and the 4 Konami hu shmups.

This is any easy one... The same reason we buy both JP and US stuff.  FUN
All is well. :)

Personally after Ys I&II I was desperate for more, so Ys IV is tops.  Also, everyone should own Dracula X already....
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Tengai Makyou Fuun Kabuki Den. Because it is the greatest game ever made and makes full use of the CD format, creating an experience cart games never even approached.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Batman is truly awesome.

But argh so many to choose from!  Let me think about this...

It's Dracula X. Period. Everything else is secondary.
