  3. Loved every second of phantasy star online 2. Such a hassle to set up to play outside of japan though

  4. Ummmmmm Clocktower was released in English on pc and PlayStation….. Jesus WatchMojo do your research

  9. A few other games that never left Japan (and us fans want desperately!): the spin-off Yakuza games, the Diabolik Lovers games, Sweet Home, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and all manner of anime tie-ins. At the absolute very least, we’d love digital downloads!

    I’m still mad at Nintendo about Fatal Frame 4, personally.
