Does anyone know if there is an English website which is keeping track of the Japan-only PS3 games that have been released? I know with the PS2 they had all sorts of weird and wonderful titles that never made it out of the country, is the same thing happening with the PS3 and we aren't aware of it? It's a more interesting issue this time around with the games being region free so playing them on a UK PS3 is not a problem at all. Ta.
 
Unfortunately there's no real big hitters over here that aren't available elsewhere. One or two are great games but are very text-heavy / mystery based so I wouldn't suggest buying if you can't read Japanese.

The Wii / DS is a different matter though. Hundreds of fantastic Japan only games on those systems and the shelves here are packed with them!
 
I seem to have found only 3 on my travels - Imabikisou (the text-based horror thing), RailFan and Disgaea 3.

You mention multitudes for the DS - is there any software that teaches you Japanese? I've seen some that teach you English and Spanish...
 
I've seen a couple that teach Kanji but think they are designed for Japanese kids, so you must have an intermediate understanding of the language to understand them. I don't know of any English ones for learning Japanese though.

There is also a Kanji dictionary (you write the Kanji and it gives a Japanese definition) but you must know the stroke order for it to be recognised.
