Japanese games on US 64

[Cotter2589]

I searched the forum and the internet briefly but didn't find anything on this subject. I want to buy the Japanese version of SSB64 but will it play on my US system or do I have to buy a Japanese N64 as well? Thanks

There's this cartridge you can buy that would make you able to play Japanese ssb64 on American N64

I have the Japanese version for my American 64... I have an adapter I bought for $15 that allows you to put any version in, Japanese or American or what have you. I can't find the box to tell you what mine's called, but it should be easy to find one.

It's worth the purchase; it's almost like a whole new game.

you don't know what ur talking about

You can't out of the box, but you can either open up the game and put it in a US cartridge case, or mod your N64 so that nothing obscures the JPN cartridge.

you don't know what ur talking about

I said almost

I said almost

LOL the only real diffrances is the sound everythign eles is allmost the same so you should say

"its allmost the exact same game" not "tis allmost like a enw game"

 

[_kSo_]

there are a lot of small differences in the jpn version of smash but not enough to make it a "whole new game"

although it is quite fun

 

[Zantetsu2]

Only thing that really makes a difference for me is fox's down smash. I don't like it going up

 

[Surri-Sama]

oh, haha i didnt even know there where directonal diffrances >_< i thoguht the physics where that same o.o;;

[gejitjimmy]

anyone know what the cartridge that you have to buy is called

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

lol it seems like ness is cheap as heck in smash 64
lets see
stronger
less DI
I use the Japanese as well (online) but never ness
even that small increase in recovery in falcon heklps him a lot (I use falcon)
and kirbys forward throw is REALLY CHEAP in the japanese version
