(Obscure) Japan Import Thread

Post#1 » Sat Jul 30, 2016 4:37 am

I was looking around at Dreamcast Japanese Import stuff. And came across Roommania #203. Which looks really neat, a bit weird but it is from Japan

Does anyone know of other imports of that nature? Where they might not be "hidden gems", but more obscure imports that're still worth playing,

Where I don't expect something like Roommania to be any good or great, but it's interesting enough to pick it up and try it at some point

There are a few good games that are not playable if you do not understand Japanese. My fav Japanese DC game is Rent A Hero #1 (it is playable in English on a leaked version for the original XBox).

I was really after Otoire, Despiria looks interesting and quite unplayable... Doraemon, Super Hero Retsuden, Blue Submarine, there are a lot of cool Japanese games. Napple Tale is completely playable, Rent a Hero is playable (with a guide, there is one floating around, its about 13 printed pages i my memory serves me well).

Musapey's Choco Marker, Cosmic Smash and L.O.L. aka Lack Of Love are both perfectly playable without knowing Japanese...
