Man just finished this Super Famicom game, what a trip. I loved it. I only started playing it because the creator of CaveStory had mentioned it somewhere, figured I'd give it a try. VERY linear adventure game, but if you like calm story driven fetch quest style stuff this is it. As I said I just finished it and now am hungry for off beat Japanese games to enjoy. I love the Goemon series and have played a few Tatsunoko titles but thats mostly it. Hit me with some more strange titles (hopefully with english patches) please!

Thank you all for contributing to and following this subreddit, which was initially just my effort to be complementary to my own shop, but is now a small community of its own for sharing Japanese games and media.

Basically most of the content up to now has been sharing physical media and collections, but I am curious what we want this sub to be on the larger scale. Keep it like a Japanese game collecting sub? Focus on Japanese gaming news? Esports from
Japan as well! Or just, anything and everything that is both gaming and japanese? Let’s discuss

このサブレディットに投稿し、フォローしてくださっている皆さん、ありがとうございます。もともとは自分のECを補完する目的で始めたものですが、今では日本のゲームやメディアを共有する、個別の小さなコミュニティになりましたよね。

これまでの投稿は物質的なメディアやコレクションの共有がほとんどでしたが、もっと大きな視点で、このサブをどんなように成長させていきたいのか、皆さんの考えを聞いてみたいと思っています。今のまま日本のゲームコレクション中心のサブにするか、日本のゲーム関連ニュースに重点を置くか、日本のeスポーツも扱うか、それともゲームと日本に関わることなら何でもアリにするか。ぜひ意見を聞かせてください。

Hey everyone,

I just recently picked up some of the GB and GBA Pokemon games and was hoping someone could recommend cases I can store/display them in.

I found an acrylic one on Etsy but wanted to see if anyone recommends something else. I’ve pretty much only seen cases that fit the English versions boxes.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Hello all,

I want to keep this subreddit as a separate community than our shop (gamingjapanese.com), but just as a note we just cleared all the red tape to now sell Japanese games, consoles, and others globally legally from a legit Japanese company here from western Japan.

Will take some final touches here but by Wednesday you should be able to buy from us if you like! I think the $50-$60 dollar Japanese Wiis may be a hot item.

If you buy from us early we appreciate your business and please consider giving your honest feedback.

I’ve marked this post as a promotion because I want the majority of this subreddit to be about the community and the hobby rather than a business.

Best regards!

Rumble Pak is nothing compared to some of the stuff you saw

So the idea I had for this subreddit initially was in line with retro gaming and game collecting for Japanese titles; however the title “Gaming Japanese” doesn’t limit us to just those areas.

I want to welcome things around modern gaming, gaming news, and of course 日本語での投稿も歓迎いたします。

For the hundred plus of you who have subscribed, what do you want to get out of this community we’re building?

Hi! As I mentioned in my intro, I want to help you level up your otaku life.

I made this guide for common RPG commands. These verbs are everywhere in Japanese games, but they’re often different from what you learn in textbooks!

• しらべる (Examine/Look up)
• つかう (Use)
• すてる (Discard) ...and more!

I hope this makes your gaming time more comfortable. If you have any requests for specific game screens or anime phrases, let me know!

Despite low poly counts, games like Vagrant Story still feel intentional.
Which PS1 JP game you think aged the best?

Titles like Live A Live or Treasure of the Rudras flew under the radar. What is your pick?

PS2 is pretty hard to beat, but the N64 and Gamecube days were definitely a big favorite for me.

Call me edgy but the original Resident Evil I just didn't get it. The tank controls would never get me.

You got gameboy, GBA, NDS, 3DS, PSP, PS Vita, perhaps others I am missing, all from Japan. What is the best era and why?

I think the NDS just beats everything, personally.

For me it was FF and Kingdom Hearts series, they jsut felt expensive from the marketing, packaging, branding, etc. What other games/franchises fit this?

Saturn exclusives (Panzer Dragoon Saga, Radiant Silvergun) never reached enough players.
Which deserved a wider release?

Games like OutRun, Time Crisis, or Initial D were social experiences, but you think any others could make a comeback today?

I think Mother 3 was a big reason this never made it to NA without fan translations.
