I've been investigating some of the additional mappers that developers had access to in Japan, and I'm wondering what some other Famicom games had awesome technologies?

This thread can be used for suggesting any Famicom games for any reason, be it technological reasons, or just plain fun factor.

I'll start by listing the ones with awesome audio that I found in my searches:

Lagrange Point (Konami VRC7 mapper) The audio in this game is closer to Sega Genesis quality, but the only thing I've found that'll play it, is the NEZplug winamp plugin. You won't believe it's the NES.

Akumajou Densetsu [Castlevania 3 Japan] (Konami VRC6 mapper) the VRC6 allowed 3 more audio channels, resulting in much better music than our release, check it out for sure.

Esper Dreams II (Konami VRC6 mapper) Same as above, except that we didn't get a release of this one.

Madara (Konami VRC6 mapper) again, same as above.

Gimmick! (Sunsoft FME-07 mapper) Excellent music for the NES, due to the added sound hardware in the cartridge. be sure to get the Japanese version, not the PAL one.

NSF files for the above listed games can be found at http://zophar.net/nsf/

That looks great! :lol:

And it really seems quite rare. There are some available at the places I know, but only very few with the bike-controller.

I'd buy it if I had the money to spend. ;)

That's absolutely not bad. :wink:
If I saw that in a shop for 20$ I'd buy that in a second. I hope I come across it once in Japan. :)
