    There are quite some Xbox 360 games out there, that probally will never see a release in Europe or the States. However some of those games can be really good. Also some of them have a long time frame before the come to the west.

    However I'm not looking for just lists of games, but for suggestions Japan/Asia and American Xbox 360 games that are actually fun to play. That are not availible in Europe at this time (and/or ever)

    I'll do the kick off:

    - Blue Dragon (Asian)
    Asian version, has english subtitles.

    - Every Party (Asian)
    Asian version, has english language.

    update:

    - Pocket Bike Racer (US)
    - Sneak King (US)
    - Big Bumpin (US)

    Aka the 'burger king games'. Altough I havent played them myself (yet), I heard some good stories about these games.

    Games that might be interesting ?
    I have spend some time looking true the playasia 360 database. And found the following games that could be fun.

    - A Ressha de Gyouku HX / A-Train HX (JPN)
    http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-1mjg.html

    - Tetris: The Grandmaster Ace (JPN)
    http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-77-1-49-en-15-tetris-70-11xl.html

    - Culdcept Saga (Asian)
    English!
    http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dw-49-en-70-1xii.html

    - Oneechanbara vorteX (JPN)
    http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-1mje.html
    "Gameplay is very simple, and is often likened to Dead or Alive meets Resident Evil. The game is good button-mashing ultra-violent stress relief."

    - Aquazone (JPN)
    http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-1d12.html
    Maybe interesting for a HD aquarium for on the 'background' ?

    - Wrestle Kingdom (JPN)

    Everyparty sucks badly. It's an interesting take on board games but the mini games are pathedic, repeat too often & lack serious random generator (I did one where they lock combo both times was the exact same number).

    Atm I would say blue dragon but blue dragon is USA bound this year (note Asian release is NTSC-J region locked, USA might not be region locked).

    Well I must disagree, I really like Everyparty and think its a fun party game. Maybe it isnt that advance and not that clever programmed. But it plays good especially with more players. And the graphics are also very nice.

    I started to play it, 4 hours or so atm, its a really nice game, but maybe it has a huge problem ... comabats are allways the same (aka allways same monsters).
    Cheers

    well could u elaborate?

    is it like FF, random battles? Does it offer any real-timish elements or is it strictly turn-based? Does the roaming mode feature any platforming/adventure elements? =)

    thanks

    You can choose the battles you want to join, you walk for the files, and you see enemies, so you choose to fight or you skeep it.

    It dosent have real time elements (at least i havent saw anything atm) you have to push some switches but nothing more ...

    Fights are turn-based yes.

    Cheers

    It was announced some time ago that Blue Dragon would be available in USA / UK & Europe as of August 2007 (US Release) & September 2007 (UK/EU). Unless there has been some climb down and it is now only US bound, you can expect to get your hands on it irrespective of region this autumn. I for one am looking forward to it.

    I've also just read through something about it that states that one of the audio tracks has a vocal performance by Ian Gillan! What is it with Japanese and them digging up ancient historical rock musicians? The UK band Gillan were popular back in the 1980's.

    Project Sylpheed looks kinda cool, a demo a just been on XBLM today.

    Let's hope they bring it to Europe as well, at the moment it's Japan only but soon to be a US release.

    I think the concept setup of the board game was nice and was played mroe tactical then some of the options given in mario party with special dice. I also like how you HAD to finish on the last peice. That made the game so very close at the end where I lost out to an AI. Yet again the mini games are just horrible and so few and far bewteen.

    I think if they redid the mini games and really add to the game it could turn out even better then mario party. Yet at the current time I still think it's not worth playing for more then once to try it out.

    Seriously? Holly crap I got to get on my 360 when I get home tonight. I'm dying to try out Sylpheed.

    I'm playing the demo at the moment and it's better than I expected, controls are a bit tough but overall the demo mission is very interesting. Reminds me Wing Commander a lot indeed so I love it :thumbsup:
