Umm... hi, I guess. I'm Izumi, and I have yet to play Startropics, so I'm not entirely sure why I'm even here. Although, I do have my Wii U game pad thingy right next to me and plenty of eShop money to get it on virtual console... *goes to buy Startropics* *also gets Super Mario Galaxy 2*
So... am I qualified to be on this forum now? I haven't actually played it yet, it just finished downloading... I've seen Andrew's original LP of it and I have the first part of his challenge run open in another tab, does that count?
I don't really know what else to say on an introductory post like this, so I guess that's it. If anyone has any questions about me I'll try to answer them.
(For some reason my Wii U thinks I'm in America even though I'm Japanese. I guess that's what I get for buying one outside of Japan. I'm not sure why it doesn't let me select my country.)

Ahoy! Salutations, and welcome aboard. It's always a real pleasure to see new faces around the community. In fact, I'm a newbie as well. Only a few weeks have passed since I made my own introductory post. So, why not tell us a bit about yourself? Do you have an occupation, hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc, that you'd like to share? Myself, I'm a composer; or musician, whichever title you prefer to dub me. By the by, if you care to give it a look, we have a brand new Discord server, fresh off the production line. Currently, Mr. "Michael Jones" and I are it's only two inhabitants, so we could use a few more souls to chat and interact with. Invite: discord.gg/QQ9GBHnSee you around the forums.

Welcome Izumi! I'm Andrew, also known as Michael Jones, also known as Higsby. I have too many online names haha. But thank you for checking out the C-Island Forum! I am really happy that my LPs were able to introduce you to StarTropics, and I hope that someday you have the chance to try it out for yourself! And I know all about that Wii U problem! It's really silly, on a North American console it only allows you to select North American countries for your location. As someone who knows some Japanese, I have really wanted to leave some replies using kana and kanji characters on the Miiverse, although with no way to change the region of my console to Japan I have no way of inputting Japanese characters. It really stinks. I suppose the upside to having a North American console is that you can download StarTropics 1 & 2 from the eShop if you wish? Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to the C-Island Forum, Izumi Moerukaze! We may be a small and only online community dedicated to one of Nintendo's most obscure IPs, but we are a rowdy bunch in this place. That's a good thing, I think. Hope you enjoy your stay. I cannot believe we have a Japanese person here though, especially considering the series is virtually unknown in Japan, despite it being developed there. And I know all about that Wii U problem! It's really silly, on a North American console it only allows you to select North American countries for your location. Lemme just correct you a bit there. You can actually select practically all territories within both Americas in the North American Wii U's country settings. In fact, the North American version also includes four other countries outside the Americas which are Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. Although, selecting any country other than Canada, Mexico, and the United States is moot since only those three have a working Nintendo eShop (Brazil has access to the Nintendo eShop only on the Nintendo 3DS). This is how we dealt with Nintendo home consoles for a long time being always region-locked until the launch of the Nintendo Switch this year. The Switch is so region-free that even the AC adapter (from any regional packaging) can work within the range of 100 v - 240 v. As someone who knows some Japanese, I have really wanted to leave some replies using kana and kanji characters on the Miiverse, although with no way to change the region of my console to Japan I have no way of inputting Japanese characters. It really stinks. You know, if you really wanna post in Japanese, you can always use the web version of Miiverse from any PC or smartdevice that supports kana and kanji. I suppose the upside to having a North American console is that you can download StarTropics 1 & 2 from the eShop if you wish? I personally find it really weird that Nintendo has not released the games in Japan as of yet. It's not like the Japanese cannot read simple English text if Nintendo are not interested in translating the games.

Welcome the forums! Startropics is a really good retro game, you can buy it from the Wii U E-shop I think?
