And Melty Blood isn't?

You buying a JP PS2 at this point seems a little strange. I would have figured you were of the mind that the vast majority of games that don't make it to the US don't make it here for a reason -- they're crap.

Personally I like Espgaluda a lot more than Ibara, but then again I just do not get (or like) Raizing-style shooters at all. The whole rank concept pisses me off, if nothing else. I think people are just suggesting it because it is the newest.

I personally love the feeling of firing a few rocket launchers at buildings and watching them blow up and crumble.

Mercenaries imo.

Since you're not big on Cave shooters, try out the Sengoku Ace/Sengoku Blade pack released by Taito, Blade is a pretty good hori shooter.

The PS2 version of Macross is the only good 3D one ever made. Sega's AM2 designed it.

Photo Boy 1 (PSone) and 2 (PS2) are fun takes on the platformer formula. While dodging crap your goal is to get good shots of stuff happening in the background.

The Taito Memories games are getting a budget rerelease soon, each collection had about 20 Taito arcade titles on them.

I haven't picked it up yet, but come on, that has to be good.

So overrated (own Oneechanbara 2). It's just a poor man's DMC. Controls are hokey, moves are very limited and it get's dull. If you must get it the newest version is Simple 2000 Vol. 101 The Oneechanpon, which is an upgrade to Oneechanbara 2.

Here is a video of Oneechanbara 2

Wish I could recommend more, but the last few games I bought that were "not getting" a US release have or are (Bumpy Trot, Rule of Roses, not sure about Siren 2 though).

The thing is, I really can't name all that many. Localization really has come a long way over last gen, and most of the games I would want have made it over here.

In before Tain, that Earth Defence Force game everyone and their mother is raving about.

EDF2, yeah. It's cheap, it's great co-op, buy it.

not enough godzilla

Oh, and Espgaluda over Ibara, definitely.

Sega Ages: SDI & Quartet is on my list of JPS2 games to get eventually. It includes straight ports of both the arcade and MarkIII versions of each. It's a small number of games for a compilation but both versions of Quartet(which are two different games) are classics.

Ah, yeah, forgot to mention the Ages games. Figured Yoshi might like the closest VF2 port available or something.

Is it? I thought it only got novelty praise. "She has a hat and a sword, best game ever" type stuff like what Shidoshi said. Never came across anyone seriously saying it was a good game.

What ever happened with that take on 65000(!?) enemies at once game? That was pretty ridiculous.
