I had a hard time with that, eventually I put it down to luck (and 2 bottles of fairys to help me through)

My copy comes tomorrow

Already hooked so I ordered an extra Japanese copy of the bonus discs! Only $32 with shipping. I love the Japanese GC packaging. Its lush.

The packaging is so delicious. Same with GBA games; the Japanese editions are lush.

Okay, did that tonight and found an island I'd already been on had a fairy on it, and guessed where it'd be.

Only problem is; I can't blow up the rock (if that's how I do it).

So I've done a detour to Windfall Island to do some stuff there the next time I play it, then I'll try the other fairy island.

Oups, you do need the bombs to get in. I don't know at what point you are in the game.

WHich Japanese GC games do you think are okay/easy to play without a knowledge of Japanese language?

You're about to get the bombs. Follow their instructions to go to a certain island, that to another, and after you do what you are supposed to do in the 2nd one you get the bombs. (I didn't use the islands names not to spoil anyone's fun).

Smash Brothers and Sonic (two early GC titles) on Japanese release both had English language options. Some since (which titles I don't know) also have such a feature. Many others (Ikaruga, Soul Calibur 2 for starters) are almost entirely in English themselves to begin with. Ikaruga only had Japanese on the status and extras sections, and SC2 only has any real Japanese in the Weapons Master mode (where you can usually figure out what to do most of the time anyhow).

Generally I will buy the Japanese version of something if:

a) it isn't going to come out anywhere else eg. Winning Eleven 6 FE
b) there's a huge lag time till the US version eg. Soul Calibur 2
c) there's English around most of the way eg. Ikaruga, Smash Brothers

If you are serious about Japanese stuff, then I do recommend hanging out on the boards at http://www.ntsc-uk.com as a lot of people there know their stuff and any question is no problem to answer.

Oh and Viewtiful Joe appears to be following a similar trend, it seems to be mainly in English (even the speech) with some Jap subtitles. That's next month. F-Zero will no doubt be pretty easy to navigate in Japanese also, and that's July. Got both pre-ordered, I've got a good summer ahead of me

Yep that one seems a good bet in Japanese even if the whole thing is unreadable. Its a feel thing. I've ordered from lik-sang in the past and they've been excellent but is that the best option?

Cheers,

You can either try...

http://www.goblindirect.com
http://www.jpngames.com

Or send a PM to a guy called Tokuda who lives in Japan and hangs out on the NTSC-UK boards... he normally does new Jap releases for Â£45 including airmail postage...
