XBOX Japan Exclusives Release Guide

[Manhattan Sports Club]

I compiled this list myself and this is the first time it has gone public. Note the disclaimer at the bottom. Feel free to contribute to it, as there are still a few games missing from the list but mostly sports titles. However, the list is about 95-98% complete. This does not cover XBOX 360. Please give me your feedback, and tell me how I can improve it, as I plan on adding release dates next.

Nice list. Some of those games look interesting. Too bad they were never localized.

A couple of corrections, though. Jade Empire was developed by BioWare, not Microsoft. Microsoft Game Studios published it. It also didn't have a different title in Japan. The Katakana and Kanji both say the exact same thing. The Katakana says "Jade Empire" and the Kanji says, literally, "Empire of Jade."

And Sudeki was developed by Climax.

I wish I could find a cheap copy of Muzzle Flash just to see how bad it is first hand.

Thanks for the input, Tony. I corrected a few of those errors and will continue to do so if there are still any other mistakes in the list. But I appreciate your interest. I also was aware, having some japanese knowledge, of the fact that the subtitle to Jade Empire in japan is just the title translated to japanese, as I romanized many of the titles (and also wrote some of the katakana titles myself for ones like Runebrid), but just wanted to note that anyway since not all games have the titles translated like that for their international releases, usually it's just transliterated into katakana or something like that.

I actually read comments by people who said they liked it, though I never played it myself.

Also, I do own some of the games listed, but haven't modded my XBOX yet to play them.

I'm also wondering if I should organize them by release date or just alphabetically like I have them now. Any suggestions?

Nice list. What alot of people in the US don't know is that they can actually play a demo of Japanese exclusive game Metal Wolf Chaos on one of the OXM demo disc. It's hidden on one of them.

Also, The Wild Rings was a Japanese exclusive wrestling/mma Xbox title.

Great list! well done.

I'll have it handy for future reference as well as let my friends know of it…

one small correction:

Psyvariar 2 -Extend Edition- — the genre is shooting

also, is it possible to put a notation of any of the games on the list are backwards compatible on the Japanese Xbox 360?

i like it alphabetically but i think it would be a good idea to add the realease date somewhere in there so like:

| TITLE | JAPANESE | RELEASE | DEVELOPER | GENER |

I think it would look good like that.

I didn't know that, interesting. As for the wrestling game, I will add it. Thanks.

Thanks for the compliment! I would be glad to see others read it and find it useful, so I appreciate you spreading the word on it. I havent played Psyvariar yet so I assume you mean shooting as in shmup and not like 3rd person action game or something else, right? However, I do not know where to find information regarding backwards compatibility, but I will consider that.

Also, I don't think Double Steal 2 was actually released in the US. I know the first was, as Wreckless, but if its sequel wasn't released in the US then there wouldn't be a Wreckless 2, so I might have to move it. Can you confirm this?

i like it alphabetically but i think it would be a good idea to add the realease date somewhere in there so like:

| TITLE | JAPANESE | RELEASE | DEVELOPER | GENER |

I'll try that out and see how it looks. Thanks.
