Default Differences in US and EU VC (As of Feb 8, 2008)

I don't think I've seen any other threads about this before but if there has been one already I apologize. But I'm gonna list the games that are available in the US and not the EU, and vice versa.

Games available in US and not EU

NES

Star Soldier
Lode Runner
Adventure Island
Zanac
Ghosts 'n Goblins
Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos
Operation Wolf
Super Mario Brothers 2: The Lost Levels (discontinued in EU)

SNES

Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire
Axelay
Pac-Attack
Metal Marines

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

Ecco Jr.
Eternal Champions
Columns III




Games Available in EU and not US

NES

Mega Man
Mega Man 2
Skate or Die!

SNES

Mario's Super Picross
Harvest Moon

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

Crack Down
ESWAT: City Under Siege
Vectorman

TG16/TG16 CD

Lords of Thunder



I believe that is all the differences, although I could be wrong, if so let me know. Who do you think has the better exclusives? I think both of us have good exclusives, but I would gladly trade Pac-Attack or Operation Wolf for Harvest Moon or the Mega Man games

I think out of that list, it's 50-50. Although all U.S games are 60hz, so U.S wins.

Your forgetting Turtles 2 the arcade game, it came out months ago in EU and I gave up hoping for it to come out in North America. Could you change your thread to say NA and not just US. Canada gets everything that the states gets in terms of the VC and I believe Mexico gets the NA updates as well.
