I can read alot of Japanese but not all so I get Japan only games from Japan and I can play them, but games that were released in the US I won't get in Japanese.

I play games which I'm a fan of like the Gundam games even if they are in Japanese.

Only when I have to, which isn't often. For the most part, you can figure out what's what after a few minutes even with no knowledge of the language.

I've only ever completed one game in Japanese and that was Magical Vacation for the Game Boy Advance. It took forever, and I didn't really understand anything that was happening, but I did have fun playing it.

I only play japanese games that I really really really wanted to play. Like the gundam games for the PSP and NDS. Im a big Gundam fan and I still get a kick playing them even in Japanese. Well i think being a fan explains it.

I tend to play the Super Robot Wars games in Japanese. Not that I have a choice for most of them....

Yes, of course. But only a few Japanese games. For example, there's the Super Robot Taisen series (all for GBA) Naruot Gekkitou Ninja Taisen 4, and Jump Ultimate Stars. After a while i got used to the controls of the games and where each menu was. The dialog not so much...

Two of those games were given to me from a friend, so i kept them. I have a Freeloader disc for my GameCube, so the Naruto game was a great new addition for me. As far as Jump, luckily that didn't need a type of Freeloader to work, it was just all about memorizing everything in the menu screen. Plus, the online play is amazing!
As far as SRT... I just found that once and thought it was cool... lol

Right now I have a game I should be playing called Tomato Adventure for the GBA. It is pretty fun, but it is obviously for children given the graphics and other things.

You would think that it would have easier words, and it probably does, but I still need to play the game with a guide.

I don't, but I plan on starting when I finally get around to learning Japanese. Doing something simple like FFI with a dictionary next to me should be a good way to improve my grasp of the language.

I have, I played Japanese pokemon white 2 on flashcard. I just kept pressing the A button during conversations, and so far the only thing i knew were the basic functions, i missed out on the story by a lot.

I'd rather not play the Japanese version before the English release. Even if I really want to play the game, I would try my best to find an English patch. The fact that I love playing RPGs added to playing twice kind of spoils the plot, and I play RPGs only for the plot and grinding. So, yeah, no Japanese for me.

It was playing (or attempting to- half the plot flew right over my head) the GBA originals in Japanese that got me interested in the English-language Ace Attorney series, but I don't think I have since then.

There are a few Japanese games I've played. Some have a fan translation finished or being worked on (the original Panel de Pon, Ladystalker) and some with no translation available (Sakura Taisen Columns 2, both the Crayon Shin-chan GBA games). Not being able to understand it is frustrating, but sometimes you can ignore that fact and enjoy
