I've posed the question a few different places, and have only received a few ideas. Guess it's time to try a thread!
I'm going to Japan (Tokyo, mostly) with my girlfriend for nine days. I'll be leaving in just under a week. It will be my first visit, and I don't want to *just* walk around Akihabara looking like I'm lost. (I'll be doing that, regardless, but I want a list with me!)
So...I want some import game suggestions! There's gotta be some game you know about that is worth picking up. And, I want some suggestions.
I've got nearly every game system, so, don't rule any oldies out (I love Super Famicom games). The only thing I'm requesting is that the game(s) meet three criteria:
Now, why help me? Because, if I get some good suggestions, I'm going to randomly grab one of the games mentioned in the thread and randomly give it back to somebody here! (If I cannot find the game(s) suggested, or they are super expensive, I'll just randomly pick up some obscure games for the random person I choose.)
Two games I'm considering already:
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Oh, I forgot one thing! If it's for a system that requires a mod to play the game over here, I'd also appreciate the best way of being able to play it. I've pried the plastic from my SNES long ago to play Super Famicom games, so I'm good there. And the DS/PSP/PS3 are region-free (right?).

- It's a game that is *not* available here (in the US). I'd also prefer that it's a game that won't be released here in the future. (Yes, you cannot predict the future
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
- It requires very little knowledge of the Japanese language. I don't speak it, and I don't read it. So, I don't want some lengthy text-game or RPG's! (Games that have a translation guide out there are an exception.)
- It doesn't suck. Okay, this one is just a loose suggestion. Obviously, you may not know if it sucks or not. I would prefer it be worth playing, at least!

Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2: Kinda perverted, but, my girlfriend wants me to play it. :lol: She really does. Really, I swear!
Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland: I think that's what it is. Why? Because I'm pretty sure that ain't coming over here anytime soon. And, it's Tingle. I hate 'em, but I love Nintendo.
