    Shenmue 2 (you can use part 1's savestate - if it's the same version as 2 that is)
    Gunspike / Cannon Spike
    Cosmic Smash
    Tokyo Bus Guide (surprisingly a lot of fun, much better than all the other JPN vehicle simulation games)
    Gundam Sidestory: Rise from the Ashes
    Expendable: Millenium Soldier
    Lack of Love (RPG w/out text, jpn-only and scarce)

    I spent a while tracking down Frame Gride, a dueling-mecha game that didn't get localized because the developer didn't want to leave out the online functions. It's fast-paced and crying out for a modern port.

    Imagine House of the Dead 2 as a 3D beat'em up. There's not too much blood in it (unlike i.e. Illbleed), but it sure is trashy as hell and has lots of monsters and cheesy cutscenes in it. I really liked it when I first got my Dreamcast.

    I believe just like in HotD2, you can unlock red blood if you complete it with the limited amount of credits. Not sure if this is available in the Japanese version though.

    Don't forget Typing of the Dead. And Sonic Adventure 2 if you haven't played it yet.

    Under Defeat is indeed awesome. Also, there's a good port of Twinkle Star Sprites. Tech Romancer is highly recommended. I liked Baldr Force, too, though it's really hard to get. Giga Wing 2 is also very good.

    Bangai-O. Fuck Yes, Bangai-o.

    So, so FUCKING good. The epitome of 2D gaming was, in many ways, represented on the good old Dreamcast.

    That and Last Blade 2 make the system worth owning.

    Well, and Project Justice.
