I just got this game, (to hopefully sell to stifu), and was wondering, what is it?! Its used, but near mint, so I will probably "test" it wink . But looking at the box art, it doesn't look too impressive. Is it really some super amazing good rpg?

PS: See my selling page, I'm unloading tons of stuff: <a href="http://home.everestkc.net/whiggins/salelist.html" target="_blank">click me for 20+ ngpc games!</a>

It's an RPG, unfortunately never played it, from what I hear it's pretty good. You get to have a party just like in the Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest series, so that's a plus.

There were plans to do so, but Aruze (?) pulled SNK out of US I think. Whatever it is, I think the bad crap that had to happen to SNK was all Aruze's fault. Nigeronpa was a game at the end of this console's life cycle. They did after all release all the other RPGs like Evolution and Biomotor Unitron, Faselei! and more in UK. There were plans to localize Spirit Photo shop, but if you ever played it, there's like an insane amount of text that has to be translated in that baby. It took time, but the plug was pulled before they were realized.

Argghh..so sad. I feel so shafted, especially after reading on japanese ngpc sites that nigeronpa and ghost photo were the best games :( . And the ngpc sorely lacks a good rpg.

Who doesn't feel shafted, one's only choice for gaming is the Gameboy Advance now, many have challenged, none have survived. Even Gamepark seems pretty dodgy right now, and will the N-Gage have any staying power? Only time will tell my friend.

I had read stuff about Nige-ron-pa on some sites... Bnd I can't find anything right now :|

Anyway it's an RPG with FF-like battles, where you have "reputation points"... When you do too much shit, your reputation drops and allies leave you, etc.

Although the game is "just" a 8 megs cart, I'm sure I'll have fun with it. :D

I don't know a lot of details about it, but the game's general gimmic is that you play a band of girls (with a furry mascot, of course) and your moves include things like "Flying High Heel" and "Frying Pan" and goofy gender-specific things like that.

The name is actually Nige Romper, by the way, since "ronpa" is in katakana; the "nige" part is in hiragana, though, and I don't know what it means.
