Your favourite Japan exclusive Nintendo game

[Deleted User]

There's a number of Japan exclusive games I've played. Star Ocean, Seiken Densetsu 3, a few Naruto GNT games, a few Fire Emblem games. Most of them I played but just didn't get into. But I really loved Naruto GNT 4. Despite being a retard when it comes to the Japanese language I've had some great times playing that game.

Giftpia is simply an amazing game thank fuck I know Japanese.

Sin & Punishment on N64, Bangai-o on N64, Fatal Frame IV on Wii, too many SNES, GBA, and DS games to mention...

It's verging on criminal that Giftpia never got localized (and Captain Runbow on Wii) - I'm envious of your language skill level

The scariest franchise on the originalD DS, of course!

The Pre-GBA Advance Wars, Mother 3, and Kuru Kuru Kururin

Kuru Kuru Kururin wasn't Japan exclusive - it certainly came out in Europe, as I bought it the week it came out and still own it.

Didn't know it as it never was in the states so I assumed it was japan only

I've really only tried Detective Pikachu which was impossible without knowing english and boring, and Mother 3. I probably haven't even played a quarter, but of what I've played for the fanslation it's pretty great.

 

[AmandaRose]

Oh I also forgot about 1 of my all time favourite games when I posted earlier Seiken Densetsu 3 (Aka Secret of Mana 2)

Original game didn't come out in the States on GBA but has since been released in the US on Wii U VC.

There were two sequels, one on GBA and one on GCN, that were Japan only.

Great games. My daughter has an innate talent for them.



FWIW and on-topic, F-Zero Climax is a good one we missed. Also I haven't played it myself, but my daughter tells me SnoopyDS is a lot of fun.

JET?

 

[InquisitionImplied]

Argus Muscle Impact for the Wii. It's an alright God of War type game.

 

[AmandaRose]

JET?

Yep

 

[Hanafuda]

Yep

Me too, and also for two years. 1991-93, if you can imagine that. I think the JET Program was less than 5 years old when I got in. Before "JET" there was a thing called the Monbusho Fellowship, which was for tenured professors from the US, Canada, UK, etc to spend a year in Japan on sabbatical. Someone figured out that wasn't doing the kids any good, and we got JET.

It was tough in the early 90's. No internet. No outside world. I was in a very rural town in Hiroshima Pref. for the first year, then transferred to Hiroshima City for the second year. I worked junior high. You?
