Japan import guide Videos

@IFeltFreedom Hey, but you can play the Wonderswan - can't play the book! XD Let me know how it is when you get it. Those Frenchies! :P And hell no, LOL I am the only one of my family (not regarding sibs) raised in Canada all my life...so naturally English is my first language. My next language is French...and so Japanese is not the 1st two XD I know key phrases and such, but I usually get family members to translate on the go. Maybe I should take classes or something haha XD

I believe jealousy is something I should have for your item. that in honesty is really cool and in many ways a lot better than the Wonderswan. But, I am pretty excited about getting it. If only the chump from Quebec who I bought it from will ship it!! If I had a better camera, I would post it and show you, but sadly I don't. Do you know the Japanese language like backwards and forwards? I am such a chump, I know a little french and a little german, but nothing special at all

@Darro85 Cool book indeed! I actually liked Vanille, and her voice acting. I think I can do a pretty good impression of her, my friends think it's hilarious LOL (I'll see if I can do it in the next video). But anyways, I don't mind her at all...I guess people just hate upbeat characters sometimes (with Rikku as an exception). And :( I can't imagine the costs for shipping in the UK. Really cheap though, if you only count the book cost.

@FatMacTokyo Wow I can't believe you even noticed that. XD I was brought up to say "about" that way since I've lived in Canada all my life (my english teachers said it that way when I was younger so it has caught on)...but lots of our media is American here and occasionally you'll hear an "Ab-owt" slip (aka the "proper way"). Huh. And Mook...is a magazine-book? Best coined term evar. XD

LOL You said you bought this December 17th 2010 :) That is awesome though! How long has your Uncle lived in Japan? Have you been there before? Now that is a nice guide that explains everything and then some plus a lot of variety. Def. something different. Any opinions on TGS? I was let down but I guess during the holidays things will pick up. Hope you've been well behaved Sharon =D

@anupsanju All I care about is the artwork anyways ;) Haha. Yeah, that would be awesome though I think XIII characters have the edge XD. Hmm...well I don't hate Hope but...well...I....am sort-of not fond of him? :P I don't know. I usually don't get irritated by characters but meh...he was whiny and such in game and bleh. I think Vanille is far better! :O

Wow, that is so awesome. Great stuff, Japanese stuff is so awesome!! haha that is actually really nice though. So much better than the piece SG we got here. I totally need to learn how to speak Japanese :) just got Final Fantasy for the Wonderswan Colour. So excited but I unfortunately do not know how I am going to be able to play it in Japanese

@SomedaysDreamersBC Sweet, a Canadian designer! XD Yeah, I'm a fan of Japanese guides and art as well. I'm sure they appeal to different cultures/people though, so that may be a reason why North American/PAL/Japanese art differentiate from each other. Have you seen the Uncharted 2 box art for Japan? It's so cartoony! (and full of awesomeness)

Japanese guides are better than English guides; I can't even understand what they say though, so maybe the actual guides are awful and they have a lot of good artwork. :) Man, it would have been awesome to be able to face off against the FFXII characters as end game content. Why do you hate Hope so much? He's not "that" bad.

@redbuck82 That's what I thought too. I think her voice was the main culprit in terms of people drinking haterade, but I love her voice. It's hilarious when she talks about rainbows and sunshine. XD XIII wouldn't be the same without her :o

@MettalicSnake I originally wanted it for the pictures/the sake of having it, otherwise it wouldn't be very useful to me as a guide XD. I am not fluent in Japanese sadly, so I get the rest of my family to translate LOL. I'm evil muahaha.

@IFeltFreedom Thanks Tyler. :) Japanese stuff is cool, I've got some merch in my closet. Maybe a video on them sometime :o FF for the Wonderswan Colour? Dang nabit, I'm so jealous! :P Maybe there are translation guides online? XD

As a designer I agree with the assessment that the Japanese guides/ box arts etc etc are better in Japan. My experiences there and importing the stuff they don't half measure the effort for designing covers and booklets etc etc.

13 minutes made of pure WIN! The Ultimania guides are really awesome. They have so many great stuff in it and the artwork is definitely very cool. I am happy with the Piggyback guides but these look way better....

Pretty cool book. Am I the only one who didn't hate Vanille? Didn't mind her really. Same with people hating Polka's voice in Eternal Sonata but I love it. Probably cost a fortune here via import.

it's awesome, wish i could have it. I'm still killing Tortoises to get Trapezohedrons 'n Ingots hahahah. Thanks 4 sharin'!! U should really scan some pages 'n make a new video for your fans :D

@TigerFiction Wow, I found out about the Uncharted 2 cover art. That looked awesome to be honest. Cover art in Japan is always crazy but way better than North American or European art....

@Aerodynamisch Thanks Mike! Yeah, I mainly bought it for the art and the Scenario guide is awesome for that. I love all the colours they incorporate into them. :P

Nice vid. I really liked Vanille, I thought her role in the story made her very dynamic as a character, and I found her voice entertaining and not annoying.

@DlNKYDANA Yeah XD I actually didn't mind her either...I think some people just like to hate on characters like Vanille (YouTube is littered with hate) :X

@GriffoliansGames Oh man you'd be surprised at how many Vanille hate videos are on here. XD But, yeah, Hope is a given. Thanks for all the support!!

@Bigsmilereviews Yes, Diifii it's a great book! I saw that Elixir video of yours....probably too late to buy it now, they're all expired :P.

@VideoBox100 Hiya, I checked out your vid! That PiggyBack guide looks awesome too. Enjoy the rest of XIII, ya hear? Thanks a bunch XD

@delchavez Thanks Mr./Miss Delchavez XD. Her role was very important in XIII. Of course we're not going to spoil it here are we? ;)

+DiePixelspieler An sich ja, das Problem sind aber meist die Werte der Netzteile. Beim SNES und SuperFamicom ist es z.B. so das das EU Netzteil einen Super Famicom braten würde, das das eine ein DC Netzteil und das andere ein AC Netzteil braucht. Das US Netztel hat dann wiederrum einen bei uns nicht weit verbreiteten Hohlstecker Konsolenseitig mit einem Pin im Stecker.  Bei der PCE Duo ist dann wieder die benötigte Energie das "Problem" da man ein 9Volt Netzteil mit knapp 2000mAh braucht, also eher ein teureres Universal Netzteil. Bei Konsolen mit interem Netzteil bleibt dir eh nichts anderes übrig. Daher rate ich generell immer zum Original Netzteil mit einem Stepdown Converter. Ist nur selten teurer und immer sicherer.

+DengekiGamer Ich bin unsicher ob meine Frage nicht kompletter Unsinn ist. Also: Würde es nicht funktionieren, wenn ich statt des Stepdown Konverter einfach ein passendes Euro Netzteil nehmen würde? Jedesnfalls bei Geräten mit externem Netzteil sollte das doch klappen, oder habe ich da jetzt einen Denkfehler?

+DiePixelspieler ? Jetzt bin ich neugirig........

+Michel EnderichKann ich nur bestätigen. WO sonnst wird noch über Wonderswan und Game.com gesprochen.

Ist ja auch ein tolles Forum, gerade auch für Retro-Gamer.

Kein Thema, habe ja auch bei NexGam meinen Famicom umgebaut bekommen. Abgesehen davon das einzige Gamerforum wo ich auch regelmässig bin.

ok danke ;)

Sollte kein Problem sein, die Spannung ist die selbe.Beim Super Famicom muss der min. 18 Watt bringen.

danke für den tipp ^^ muss ich dann mal gucken ob mein stepdownconverter mit dem ich den ami snes betreibe auch geht :)

Ist glücklicherweise nich mehr so teuer das ganze. beim Super Famicom ist überigends der Stepdownconverter besonders wichtig, da man den nicht mit einem deutschen Netzteil betreiben kann, das würden den Super Famicom zerstören (leider schon mitbekommen).
