Some of my reasent JP games include Rhyme Rhider Kerorikan (WSC), Digimon Battle Spirits ver 1.5 (WSC), Buffers Evolution (WS), Mushihimesama (limited edition with figure) (PS2), Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono: Time Pilot (PS2) and Dokodemo Mahjong (NGPC).
Been wanting Mushihimesama for quite a while. Great game, get it.
Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono is a budget series from Hamster dedicated to direct ports of old arcade games. Each release only contains one game (and only the original, no remake) but at least it has lots of options, including TATE mode, screen zoom, etc. Each release also comes with the following:
* A mini CD with all the music and sound effects from the game (each sfx has it's own track) + a coupple of remixes.
* A mini DVD with a super play movie, one of the music remixes with a visualizer style video and a trailer for the series.
* A trading card.
* A miniature strategy guide.
Also the manual has several pictures of the original arcade board.
Other games in the series are Scramble, Crazy Climber, Karate Michi, Moon Cresta, Time Pilot, Sonic Wings, Burger Time, Super Volleyball, Terra Cresta, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Quarth and Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.
