Best Japanese only titles?

I was just wondering (having purchased a PSX) what people considered to be the best Japanese only titles available for the Playstation & Playstation 2 (however feel free to extend to the PS3 and / or other systems)?

 

And for me, i want to know too....

 

donpachi

 

Umihara Kawase Syun, that's the killer.

 

Looks like it's coming out on PSP early 2008 - love the blurb of this in IGN ''A remake of a Japanese SNES action-platformer featuring a boy who uses a fishing lure to travel through a strange land''.

 

Good one...They should at least check wiki before writing lies to people...

 

I don't know where to start, really...

For PSX... maybe Harmful Park. Never seen such a lovely designed Cute'em up.

 

Battle Stadium D.O.N is a great game.

 

A boy ??? I thought it was a girl!!

Yakumo

 

yeah..that one is such harmonious!

 

I was going to say Vib Ribbon but that was released in Europe, too.

 

Personal Favorite: Gussun Paradise

These threads are great though:

I found 2 different sites mentioning it as a male and one mentioning it was a female. I guess the graphics don't help solve the problem and I can't read Japanese to find out from the horses mouth (as it were). Prepared to believe it was a lass ;-)

 

Gee, this is like walking into a huge bookstore and asking for "good books"

I'd say Einhander, but that was released in the US, too. And Ore no Ryouri (a cooking game) is fun too

 

It's a girl 100% sure!

For the psx i would recommend:

70's Robot Anime Geppy-X
A Train 5
Adventure of Little Ralph
ART Truck Battle
Bishi Bashi Series
Bokan desu Yo
Cosmo Warrior Rei
Oreno Ryouri
Policenauts
Saiyuki
Spriggan Lunar Verse
Stahlfeder
Suzuki Bakuhatsu
Velldeselba

Stahlfeder is hyped but not a good game IMO.

I think Assembler meant Yakiniku Bugyou.

If you don't have the PAL version (Rapid Reload), I suggest Gunner's Heaven.

Tenchu Shinobi Hyakusen is also necessary if you're a Tenchu fan.

Kaitei Daisensou/In the Hunt is a decent port if you like the Arcade game.
