    If I ever had a PS3, I'd buy the Railfan titles. Africa is also Asian/jp exclusive as far as I remember, but I don't know if it's worth the price.

    As much as I love Kenzan, Be warned. If you don't know japanese you'll have to play the entire game with a guide. =(

    Unless you're going for something specific, there really isn't a whole lot of JPN only games to import. There is for PSP (way too many) but not so much for ps3. Initial D I heard is pretty good though.

    Nope. It got a USA release.

    Well if you missed out on No More Heroes on the Wii the PS3 version while not having any blood is decent.

    Wangan Midnight is just a remake of the PS2 version. So there's no online and nothing to do with the arcade games.

    My brother bought it, played for some time and then gave it to me. The story mode is in japanese and the game uses a card system.

    It's a joke compared to the software lineup the PS2 had in about early 2004 (3 3/4 years on the market). Is that due to the costs of HD development or has distribution of games become more expensive in general?

    Wipeout HD Fury was released in Blu-ray disc in Europe and Asia. Any ideas if Japan also got it?

    it will be ok since i don't own have the ps2 one, I'm also a genki racing game fan, so I'll probably like it even if it isn't the arcade version

    Oh, I though of a game you can get (it's not out yet but coming soon). If you like mech games, Another Century's Episode: R (A.C.E. :R for short) should be hitting soon. The game is developed by From Software (like the previous ones which are well regarded) who has been kicking some serious ass this gen.

    Pretty much (most of the cool stuff is on DS/PSP). It is improving though.
