I wasn't aware of this. The premise sounds so cheesy and hilariously over the top that I might check it out at some point.

Most Japanese games I own probably are

  • Shenmue
  • Catherine
  • World of Horror
  • Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise
  • Berserk and the Band of the Hawk

Ghost of Tsushima is set in Japan but not made by a Japanese studio and you can tell. It's still a great game but it lacks the vibes only native Japanese studios can offer. GoT is just another western game with western premises.

Steins Gate, Yakuza ?
Both have interesting premises but drown them in big piles of cringe, with repetitive ultra long winded and just garbage dialog and gameplay loops.

Japanese games are riddled with bad decisions, maybe just tone deaf plots for us, and it's no wonder their relevance declined when the west upped their story levels beginning in the 90s. With exceptions like Biohazard and Kojima stuff that are either just batshit insane and thus unique or not really Japanese just flavored a bit but certainly trying to be western compatible.
 
Still have this gem on my Wii (assuming it can still boot);

By far the most Japanese game Iā€™ve ever bought.. But more in the ā€˜crazy game showā€™ kind of way.


I wish I could say Incredible Crisis, but sadly I never got around to getting my own copy, my best friend had it.



I'll say my OG imported copy of Tenchu.

Cho Aniki?

I really miss when Japan used to do these absurd, some times surreal, humor-focused/comedy-centric games. Serious Japanese games are all fine and dandy, but we're sorely lacking some of this these days. At least in visibility, if they're still to be found out there.

The developer actually learned how to grow rice
Japanese players used their Ministry of Agriculture website as walkthrough on how to grow rice in the game (it works)
Anime adaptation is coming and the studio is also learning how to grow rice

Can I say Persona 4?

I just felt it oozed Japanese culture. A lot of the time it was so nice to just soak in the day-to-day goings on.

There's also a short-ish manga:
 
What do you mean by this? A game taking place in Japan, or having japanese culture ties that wouldn't make sense made anywhere else?

I got one that fits both those: 1st place: Tokyo Jungle

Takes place in tokyo japan, and you play as different animals you unlock. You mate and take over territory. Its an amazing game, unfortunately, it's download only and locked away on PS3.
Sony never ported it to ps4 so we never got to play it and never got a sequel, that it so deserved.

There were a few other games on ps3 that were Japanese centric

You could say Yakuza and all that, but that's an easy way out, they are more take offs from GTA and shenmue respectively.

3rd place goes to: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon - the ps2 game I bought near the end of the lifetime. It came with a stuffed animal vampire thing. Was original awesome game. I never did get the first game though (should of both are worth tons of money. )
