Quick Japanese Wii Questions Before I Buy?

[canuhavebabies]

out of the japanese wii games, what should i buy to go with my wii?

i like the look of red steel, but is it difficult to use the menus with it being japanese, and is it text/language heavy?

Well, for Japanese only titles I have played Wario, Wing Island and Pangya. Wario is unbelievably good, Wing Island is a bit shallow, Pangya is good but frustrating with the controls/accuracy.
I have yet to play Necro Nesia, Hajimete no Wii or Ennichi no Tatsujin which I also bought.
Yet to receive Elebits but I reckon it will be equal best with Wario.

Of the Japanese games available in the US too I have Red Steel and Trauma Centre. Trauma Centre is my pick of the US launch titles (yet to receive Zelda though!). I played the DS game in Japanese and didn't have too many problems after a bit of trial and error so this will be the same.
Red Steel is great so far. There is some text but it's mostly story so you're not missing out too much. There are little tutorials during the early parts of the game which tell you how to sword fight, duck, jump etc etc, but there is a graphic indication on screen of what you need to do with the remote/nunchuk so language won't be an issue there.

Also, don't forget about Bleach which is out in Japan on Thursday!

cheers for that!

think i'll get wario and red steel.

has anyone used wii points on a japanese wii? and is it easy to buy the games with them?

i ended up just getting the console, wario and 5000 wii points.

my next question is will this stepdown work with the jap wii (i use it for my japanese pachislo machine).....




thanks in advance.
