Is anyone interested in Japan exclusive games? A game I am interested in is Project Mirai (Vocaloid game). It's a rhythm game featuring a Japanese voice synthesizer who sings songs. I know some popular Japanese games have been localized, but its taken some time. I'm not sure if they will localize this game, but I sure hope so. I'd like to discuss other Japan exclusive games here~

let's talk again
Most of the games i want to play are japan exclusive games, the only one i was able to play being Blaze Union.
Gyakuten Kenji 2 (Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth 2)
I'm subpar when it comes to reading kanji so I struggled in some of the cases in this game. I may have been able to cope if voice overs was available but alas, AA doesn't have that kind of feature. Regardless it's a shame that this game didn't have an English release like the rest of the series did, because it was a great sequel for the first AAI!

You can play a fully translated version now!
I'm sad the 3DS is region locked :c If they're going to do this, I wish they'd atleast localize games more often, or consider making the exclusive games only available in the e-shop to work locally if Nintendo is worried about sales and importing etc. I also was interested in New Love Plus because I simply like dialogue heavy games, and it just looks cool. I have the DS love plus which is region free, and it's quite fun to improve my learning.

There is a PS2 game called Dear My Sun!!, which is a game where you are a single mother raising her boy to adulthood, that I wish would be released in English but it never will be. It's a dialog-based game so it's not playable at all if you don't know Japanese. It has a very cool opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDfhIEfV3-8

Majority of the games i want are Japan exclusive, which is a real pain because the chances of getting them translated to English is really low.

Even though I suck at Siren, Siren 2 should have come stateside. And it's a shame Monster Hunter wasn't popular enough here when Dos came out.

I am so excited for it!
I remember buying a few Japan exclusives to help me practice my Japanese reading. Can't do that anymore, now that I'm selling my 3DS LL and sticking with my EU console alone instead.
There are so many that I wish were available here though.

You can play a translated version?!??! do you have a link? I've been wanting this game for so long :O
Dude click on my post.
Ofcourse. It physically hurts me we don't have either of these games. No not really just making a point!
Hold on now,,, This is gonna EVENTUALLY come out in english, Right?right?????
Supposedly the next DQ game to reach our shores is going to be the one that's super popular for WiiU in Japan. But also no word on it, Nintendo said something about that they want to try it in the western audience but aren't sure if it'll kick off. Lol like why wouldn't it? If Monster Hunter does for Capcom then this should for Square Enix. They have very similar elements in many ways, but are still very different so it's not as though people should be shocked by new gameplay or something. Why is Nintendo steering the boat on this? They're famous for being nervous about how the west may react and we always react positive. HELLO TOMODATCHI LIFE.

Doubt it though I can understand why. The costs of translating the game is too high when they don't sell well. This is the script for Dragon Quest VII.
There are certainly some Japan-exclusive games I'd like to get my mitts on. A few of them are:
- E.X. Troopers (3DS) ; there's also the PS3 version that isn't region-locked, therefore eliminating the need of importing a foreign PS3 system for it
- Puyo Puyo Tetris (3DS) ; This crossover puzzle game is also available on Wii U, PS3 and PS Vita
- Youkai Watch (3DS)
- Project Mirai 2 (3DS) ; The sequel does everything better than its predecessor, so...
- Mario & Wario (Super Famicom) ; contains almost no Japanese language
- Sutte Hakkun (Super Famicom) ; contains almost no Japanese language
- Clock Tower (Super Famicom)
- Marvelous: Another Treasure Island (Super Famicom)
- Doubutsu no Mori (N64) ; Yup, Animal Crossing actually started on N64
- Wonder Project J2 (N64)
- Custom Robo V2 (N64)
- Mother 3 (GBA)
- Any of the Stafy no Densetsu GBA games (preferably the third one)
If you're really into importing Japanese games, I'll give you a few tips.
Going for older systems will lead you to a lot more worthy Japanese import games. There are some systems that are region-free to begin with, such as the entire Game Boy and DS library of games. Heck, you can even bypass some of system's region-lock without having to purchase an extra system just for that.
Don't like modifying your consoles and/or hate needlessly cluttering your room? There are retro-gaming consoles that can play your legacy games, such as RetroN 3, Super Retro Trio and RetroN 5. All of these systems at least play NES, SNES/Super Famicom and Genesis/Mega Drive games. One of those retro-gaming systems even output through HDMI and hosts a number of features that a typical emulator would include, such as save states. I'd strongly advise doing a lot of researches and bear a lot of patience before deciding to buy one of them, since they aren't exactly as reliable as the legacy systems would. But then, even those systems can falter eventually, so might as well.
