So I’m in the market for importing some new games and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I’m looking for games on either DS or PSP. I’m thinking about getting Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, Electroplankton and Tenchu Shinobi Taizen. Any opinions on these would be great too.

I'd pass on Electroplankton for now since it's out Stateside in a little over a month. But Ouendan, yes.

Ouendan is a great choice.

If you understand Japanese at all and like stuff like Naruto, One Piece, and DBZ, Jump Super Stars on the DS is another one worth your money.

I'm only visiting the US for about 3 weeks, so unfortunately I don't have time to wait for Electroplankton or I would. Is it worth playing though? Everyone says it's not much of a game, but I have a soft spot for the more "arty" games.

I'm decent with Japanese as long as it isn't too Kanji intensive. This games does sound interesting.

elecktron plankton is pure garbage

Go with Super Princess Peach. It's one of the best games that I've played all year. It has great platforming and awesome lands. Plus you don't need to know ANY Japanese to understand it. There are walkthroughs online for the menus if you get stuck.

Tenchu: Shinobi Taizen, IMO is for the Classic/Hardcore Tenchu Fans. If you ever played Tenchu 1-2 (and enjoyed it), than its a good chance you'll love Tenchu: ST. It also offers alot for the hardcore Tenchu fan with 30+ Characters, 5 Unique Story Modes, Various Multi-Player Modes, and a Killer Level/Mission Editor. If this sounds good to you, than ya might wanna give it a try.


Also a couple other imports I would reccomend is Gundam: Battle Tactics, Jump: SuperStars, Guilty Gear Judgement, Taiko no Tatsujin, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, Samurai Warriors, and the upcoming Exit. Also Irregular Hunter X still might be a worthy buy, even after its average score (27/40-Famitsu). Good Luck..

There is no "play through". It's not software that allows for any kind of progression. That being said, you may or may not find amusement in the sounds it allows you to create. However, I find it too limited to enjoy longer than a day and too random to be able to utilize it for any kind of coherent composition.

Tenchu 1 and 3 are two of my all-time favourate games. That being said, Tenchu 2 and 4 are utter crap. I'm still pretty sure it will be at least tolerable though.

Completely forgot about this game, thanks for reminding me. This is a definate get.

You can get Osu about $10 cheaper on eBay.
