Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagami; FDS; The differences between this version of the game and its localized counterparts are as follows…

This game uses the expanded sound channels of the Famicom Disk System, which the NES version lacks.
The game has a higher difficulty, compared to its localized version.
The final stage is treated more like a horizontal shooter in which the player must constantly press the A button to stay high in the air.
This game has a worse “bad” ending, compared to the localized version, and the “best” ending from the localized version of the game is not present.

Just wondering for anyone who sees this. How many games here does it say you've played? I've got 8/436 which is pretty daunting lol.

@FallenGrace 💀Who's the lucky game?

@rax Wow that's a lot, I was expecting numbers close to yours to be the majority.

Looks like everyone else is pretty close to mines. I thought I would have been in the minority. Hopefully this list inspires you to play more of these titles. I'll definitely try to do the same.

Castlevania due to how you had to list it lol. I have most of these in the backlog but I'm not a big Nintendo player so always gravitate towards something else even though many of them look great.

@FallenGrace Ahh, I see. Somewhat similarly I've gravitated a lot from older games in general, been trying to change from doing that. But hopefully you get to try out the ones in your backlog eventually!

@Camamania Thanks, glad the list has been helpful. I've added it to the list plus Earthbound since I saw some fan translations for that too.
