Any good Japanese Wii exclusives?

Post by adamwoje »

Hey guys!

I just got my hands on a Japanese Wii and got Milestone Shooting Collection 2 and Taiko no Tatsujin. Does anyone know of a list or anything for some interesting stuff we didn't get in the states? That also doesn't require Japanese language knowledge?

Thanks!

I don't remember much about it other than that it's supposed to be good, but there's a game called Captain Rainbow or Falcon that never made it here.

Zangeki no Reginleiv
Fatal Frame 4 (fan translation available)
Another Code R (available in europe)

There's not too much else that's english-friendly worth talking about so far as I know.

There are some interesting Gundam games that never made it over.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I really wish Fatal Frame 4 came out in the US along with Fatal Frame 2 remake...

Not technically an exclusive since its also on the 360 in Japan, but there is a shmup port called Illvelo (Illmatic Envelope) that looks great.

It does look good, but he has it already as part of Milestone Collection 2.

If you want GC suggestions too, I'd suggest Kururin Squash! and the Nintendo Puzzle Collection.

Already mentioned but:
Illvelo (also part of the 2nd Milestone collection)
Puyo Puyo (few different games: 7, 15th anniversary, and 20th anniversary)
Taiko no Tatsujin (3 or 4 different games. Newest has best song selection)

That's pretty much it, from what I can tell. I've played a few others like Twinkle Queen and the Negima fighter, but I would not purchase them.
