NGPC linkability

[suicidekiller]

Sorry for dumbness, but is it possible to link US version games with UK ones? UK ones with JAPs and so on? I think they were some restrictions, right?

Between US and UK? Shouldn't be any problem at all.
I thought there were a few glitches trading cards between English and Japanese versions of CFC. Then, it could have been pokemon. Too many trade-and-collect games around that time, so I forget.

I think Nesagwa still has that list of link capability. The language region on the carts are usually no indicator. Take CFC for example. Japanese and English CFC link perfectly, tested out by yours truly, even though Japanese cart plays only in Japanese, and English CFC plays only in English. Gals Fighters, though, does not appear to link.

You can't link Last Blade JP and Last Blade English. That's the only one I've ever really tried to do it with.

Just out of curiosity, are there any differences in the gameplay/menus of the two games mentioned above, when in Japanese vs English?

How are the linked fighting games? Is there a lag like when playing CFC?

 

[Noodlesis]

I'd imagine they have slight lag, but I wouldn't know for sure.

This is the weird thing about linked fighting games... sometimes there is lag, sometime there isn't, and I can't quite figure out exactly what causes this. Usually, if you start a match with lag, then there will be a lag throughout the match. If you don't start a match with lag, then you're AOK. At first I thought it may have had something to do with moving backgrounds, but I've played some matches on Terry's train stage and experienced no lag before.
