how did everyone get this game if it wasnt released in NA

[VincentASM is too important to have a messed up name]

For one, importing, although it's harder now since the game is getting old (so you'll probably have to look for it on auction sites instead).

Of course, if you import, the game will still be in Japanese, but it's easy to play since the menus and stuff are similar to the other GBA games. If you don't understand Japanese, there's translation scripts floating around (eg. at GameFAQs).

The other way is via emulation/ROMs. It's illegal though. There's a great translation patch if you decide to go down this route though, which more-or-less fully translates the FE6 ROM into English.

Not only its illegal but its against the rules here to ask for ROM's. So if I were you, I wouldn't mention a single word about requesting it.

I'll have to add something about auctions.

Try to get us lot to green light it first. eBay is full of pirate copies (sonetimes it isn't so easy to tell...) and frankly buying them is worse than downloading the ROM (if you think of the ROM being a free pirate copy then buying a pirate copy is...).

[Celice]

If you've no qualms about ROMs, a your can get a flashcart for your handheld and play it as a normal game, or some modded systems can also boot GBA game images with the proper homebrew.

I'd sell you my copy for $500

I was gonna suggest Play-Asia, as that's where I got mine, but it occurred to me that that was three years ago- you really are better off looking on eBay or something (From what I can tell none of the sites I buy stuff from have it- guess it's out of print*

[kibasoul]

does anyone know how to get one if so can u tell me the price

[Charliecane]

Prices vary between retailers. You're better off checking it for yourself. eBay is probably your best bet. Just be careful what you but there. Like Starwolf pointed out, there are plenty of pirate copies out there.

whats wrong wit the piraed copies

[Tashi]

No point of checking on eBay cause I've been there and they don't have it. Play-Asia should have it but I went there as well and quite frankly there out of stock. Your kinda out of luck of getting the actual game since FE6 is now hard to get. Especially in Japan as well.

Please, please, please type proper, intelligent English. You're not in a chatroom, nor posting on your cellphone, so spend the extra seconds fixing your posts.


Regarding your question: Pirated copies are illegal. Yes, they are free, but it means that there is less money going to the chaps who rightfully created the game, which retards budget that would go into possible sequels. Essentially, it's stealing.

At least, that's what I've heard. Someone else more knowledgeable could cover up what holes I've left in my explanation.

Reguarding CD's post, it also currently means that the game doesn't save. I've got it from playasia.com.

It shgould be noted that play-asia does have a track it down feature.

In case a title is already listed as sold out, we recommend you use our Track it Down! feature or subscribe to our Personal Agent on the item's product page. We are monitoring your subscription and try to restock the title if possible. Once the game is back in stock, you will automatically receive an e-mail notification from us.

Track it down probably has more effect than subscribing but my guess is that both can act as a catalysts for each other for getting a title back in stock (6-year old GBA titles are not the sort of thing you try to find for fun but alot of people want it...).

You might find these links useful (subscribing won't do any harm as you'll be sent info on the day of it happening*)

*-Though sometimes what happens is you'll be sent e-mail of stock being available or price dropping but due to the fact the e-mails are a batch job (sent out once a day) and so when you get the e-mail the product is out of stock.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. 

[Tashi]

hmmm...I must've spelled the name of this game wrong. Then I stand corrected.

[arashisama without the decorative symbols. RANDOM ENOUGH?!]

^ It's not you; ebay's got it wrong.

FE6 is a really rare find these days, even in out-of-the-way Japanese hobby shops. If you are looking for a new copy, your only choice is really to trek all over the country searching for the last copy. I doubt Play-Asia will come into a new copy (nor will any other Japanese exporting site), so Ebay really is your only other choice if you are willing to accept a used copy. Get a video gamer pen pal and build friendship over 10 years; and maybe they'll sell you their old one?

But ~ To answer your exact question, way back when I had just made a couple new friends. They had the game, recommended it, and I went like a bratty kid to Mommy & Daddy, and they scooped one up at one of many stores which had the game... years ago.

[kibasoul]

do you still have it arishisama

[Nino]

Yes, they are free, but it means that there is less money going to the chaps who rightfully created the game, which retards budget that would go into possible sequels.

I believe that's the first time I've ever seen someone on the internet use retard in it's proper meaning. Props

Anyways, unless you are willing to pay out the ass and with the risk of getting a shitty pirate copy, then go with ROMs. That's about all I'll say on the matter. >_> Don't wanna get banned 4 days after joining.

[kibasoul]

ok then does anyone have a copy that they dont want and also how is the game

[Celice]

I might be willing to sell my copy, but I haven't really sold anything through online transactions
