I did a search on the forums and found some posts that talked about these games in general.
I recently imported these games after having a BLAST
playing R.A.D/Gigantic drive.(SANDLOT is truly awesome and I'll give my two cents on the SANDLOT Appreciation Thread in a bit..)
I have played games on the NES/Family computer before from Japan
(LOVED Konami world) in which I had no idea what was being said but enjoyed the games nonetheless, blindly wandering around the menus to find what i wanted to do.
fifteen years later you'd think I would have learned Japanese by now. Also I had hoped that whatever came out in Japan was released in the US as well.. or at least they would have designed games - Regional releases and business stuff aside - such that the Language layer could be easily adaptable.
In any case, gameplay is gameplay and i am more than willing to chug through the cut scenes and briefings without understanding a word . Yet, I feel that I am missing a lot from the game by doing so (and in fact am stuck early in Remote Control Dandy SF - the early mission where you fight this robot with guns as arms and a giant robot hand on its back. whenever i kill it it says mission failed... 
).
So, I thought it would be in my best interest to not invest in Japanese classes at this point but rather just search online for some guide/walkthrough to explain the mission, story, etc. I found one walkthrough of Tetsujin by a guy named Basel (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/921064/31872) and from a Menu perspective it helps a lot - although it really is more of a Walkthrough as opposed to explaining the story, situation, etc. I wanted something that told me what the situation one was to tie the story together - not how to kill the other robot or exactly what to do. I found none whatsoever for RCD SF.
So if anyone out there has a Story/Guide for either Tetsujin 28-go or RCD SF for the PS2.. PLEASE post it somewhere or something or send me a link or whatever (English or Japanese). Thanks!
