Japan-exclusive Xbox Games

[caffeinedreamer]

Okay, so some time ago I posted in "The Rarest, Most Valuable Xbox Games" article here, asking for a complete list of games that were exclusively released for the Japanese Xbox. There was a reply that linked to a Wikipedia article detailing 15 or so such releases, but I know for a fact that there are many more.

I have been living in Japan for two years now, picking up Xbox games I haven't seen before in the West. I'm going to list what I've found in person, and online. Any additions you could make or challenge me on would be great. I'm unsure as to whether all of these were really released, so I'll be bolding the ones I own or have seen around.

This list seems to be everything. If you can confirm special editions or any missing game(s) please do!

Well, since you've got N.U.D.E., you've got the most expensive one I know of. Also, is Metal Wolf Chaos as awesome as its gameplay videos make it look?

[caffeinedreamer]

Metal Wolf Chaos is probably the best game on this list.

Is N.U.D.E. expensive? How expensive? I knew I should have picked up that big box edition.

Well, according to Wikipedia:

"N.U.D.E. never received an official release outside of Japan and import copies are very difficult to acquire. Only a handful are found on eBay each year, with copies in 2008 selling for an all-time high of up to $150 + shipping."

[caffeinedreamer]

Oh, snap. Need to keep my eye out.

[Ack]

Yeah. Play-Asia is out, and NeoSeeker lists the current price as $139.95. There's no listing at Video Game Price Charts, but that's not surprising since it's an import title. If you see it and it's less than $100, it's probably the lowest you'll ever see it.

[caffeinedreamer]

I've seen it several times here for >$10.

Anybody knows anything about this? screenshots? videos?
any good?


That and the Outrun2 version is definitely a different game from US/EU, better graphics, fixed bugs, etc. So you could count that as improved.
