I need to learn Japanese...

Posted by RetroVortex on May 31, 2007, 5:02 p.m.

Seriously I do…

Why? Because I'm missing out on some of the most amazing games, that just won't ever leave Japan.

Like, today, thanks to my R4, I got to play Jump Ultimate Stars, and it ROCKS!

Its just a darn shame it will never come out in English, (due to copyright issues) as its kinda hard playing story mode without knowing what the missions are about, (but due to my trial and error, and experience with videogames, I worked it out!)

Another game I got to play today was Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, and its sequal: Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2

(which is the japanese versions of Elite Beat Agents)

I liked it, moreso the sequal, (but due to my flashcart crashing at a certain point in my game, I can't get any further [:(])

But there is hope for the future, already games such as Final Fantasy 1 and 2 on the PSP, and the third Pheonix Wright game have an english option!

Just wish there were more games being translated, (which I know takes time, as Japanese is a bitch of a language to translate!)

So has anyone else played any amazing Japanese games, that will never see a European (or american) release?

If so, please reccomend me a few…

(apart form Ikaruga, I already have that game [:D])

Jump Ultimate Stars is awesome. Me and Scythetastic played it vs each other one time during lunch break. Really is too bad it'll never release on this side of the planet due to the MASSIVE legal issues.

(For those who don't know, Jump Ultimate Stars is similar to Super Smash Brothers, except instead of Mario VS Pokemon VS Zelda, we've got Dragonball Z VS Naruto VS Deathnote (And a fuckload of other manga))

Nani? BAKA! :]

I was learning Japanese for a while in school during lunch times.

I really only learned "Boku wa Matt desu" (I am Matt). :P

I heard it’s amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on hari-kari rock! I need scissors! 61!

A remake of final fantasy tactics for the PSP should be released sometime this fall, and I hope the translation is better this time around. Now I need a PSP.

Apparently, Neon Genesis isn't in Jump Ultimate Stars. It's not complete without giant fighting mecha robots of doom.

Jump Ultimate Stars looks awesome, verily. I'm starting to learn Chinese, but that's not much help >_>
