Japan Otaku Reviews+

I would be happy if I could get it for under 5,000 yen.

The slim PlayStation 2 was just under 20,000 yen, huh? That’s cheap.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Heavenly Punishment San

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wild Arms Alter Code F

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Mobile Suit Gundam

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

The Way of the Ninja Precepts

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Samurai

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Great God

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Capcom vs. SNK 2

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

If you’re looking for a challenging RPG, I recommend Breath of Fire 5.

If you’re going to play later, it’s better not to change the protagonist’s default name.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Gundam vs. Z Gundam

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Shadow of the Colossus

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Odin Sphere is…

It’s better to do a remake.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Gradius V

93: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>12

Unbelievable

Is it some kind of mistake?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

BUSIN0

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Ace Combat 04

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Super Robot Wars IMPACT

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

AnSaga

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Super Robot Wars IMPACT is long, so it’s great for passing time.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Ar tonelico and Ar tonelico 2

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

You should do it.

Armored Core 2 and AA

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

AA is my favorite in AC.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

It’s nice, isn’t it…?

I want to keep clearing missions endlessly…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bottoms

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Gran Turismo 4

Shutoko Battle 0

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rule of Rose

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Space Channel 5

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Reconnaissance.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts 2 Director’s Cut

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Saru Getchu 2, 3, and Salvatore.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Macross VF-X2

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Bunkotsu Roman Daikagetsu Vampyrot.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dynasty Warriors

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you like Gundam, then Zionic Front.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Monster Hunter

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Ace Combat 5

Ace Combat Zero

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pachipara

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m happy to see multiple titles I participated in developing being mentioned.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Another Century’s Episode

of 123

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Me and the Demon King

Probably won’t be transplanted or anything like that.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sky Gunner

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

It’s available on PS4 and PS5.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Brilliant Dance Festival

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>39

Yagami

On the bridge.

I fell down.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Renza 2

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

SIREN 1, 2

Metal Gear 2, 3

Space Channel 5

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ar tonelico

Ar tonelico 2

KHFM

KH2FM

You must definitely buy Kingdom Hearts for the PS2.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

God Hand

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think this is probably as far as character games have gone as fan goods.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>44

It was also released on PSP, right?

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

It’s nice that there’s a pregnancy ending in the ◯◯ portable.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>44

Well… it’s still coming out quite a bit…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

I haven’t come out to that extent yet…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

You should stop playing R-TYPE FINAL.

I start wanting things like magical alloys.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

ANUBIS

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Kowloon Youma Gakuenki re:charge

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most of the games I got hooked on during the PS2 era have been remastered.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>49

So I’ll name some titles that probably won’t be done.

Namco x Capcom

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Persona 3

But the PC and remake versions are better!

Persona 4

But the PC is better!

Tales of the Abyss

The 3DS version is better!

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nine Remnants

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roar of Steel

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only played ArneTrico 2, but it didn’t click for me.

But I like music just enough to listen to it occasionally.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>56

I think it’s impossible to complete the entire series because of that vibe.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

Well, to be honest, 2 has too many disappointing developments, but the others aren’t as bad…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Star Ocean 3DC

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

God of War

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amagami

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

My recommendation is My Summer Vacation 2.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

.hack

Me and the Demon King

Ar tonelico

Katamari Damacy… is it available on current consoles?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

The best version is the PS2 version, where the original creators are still on board.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Manakemia

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shadow Hearts 1 and Shadow Hearts 2

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Galaxy Angel

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Let’s play Ring of Red.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shadow Hearts

Shadow Hearts 2 DC

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Torinohoshi

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Ultraman Fighting Revolution Reverse

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doodle Kingdom

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Kuzunoha Raido Series

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shadow Hearts 1

Shadow Hearts 2

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

RenZa 2 Plus

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Daringly Earth Defense Force

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Gigantic Drive

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Parappa 2

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shadow Hearts 1 and Shadow Hearts 2

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

From games that can only be played on PS2.

I think it’s definitely worth playing Evergrace and Eternal Ring.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

Eva Green is one thing, but Ethel Lynn is…

In that case, wouldn’t KF4 be better?

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

Ring synthesis is fun.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

New Onimusha

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mosquito

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Character games are still being released now.

As a social game

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

If a social game becomes somewhat of a hit, it leads to the release of character goods in the form of a console version.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Drag-on Dragoon

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA Avatar Tuner

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Ar tonelico’s rights are complicated and a port is unlikely, which is tough.

I think Summon Night 3 and 4 are good too…

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>90

As expected, the PSP port is better…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Earth Defense Force 2

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I have the impression that character games were freely done on the PSP.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

shinobi

I liked the unique feeling of puzzle action.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Valkyrie Profile 2

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many complaints, but Panzer Front Ausf.B.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

As mentioned above, it’s probably Breath of Fire 5… it hasn’t been ported.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

OZ – Oz

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Tales of Destiny

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Summon Night can be fully played on the Vita, so…

107: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>103

VITA was a good hardware.

You get change with just one Shelnosarge.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

It was groundbreaking that if you owned the UMD for PSP, you had the right to obtain the download version.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

First, Vita…

Has the store already closed?

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

Can be used again.

I didn’t say it can be used properly.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>111

You should be able to buy it if you charge the store on PS4 or PS5.

I haven’t tried it yet.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>178

You can log in to the PS Store from a browser on your PC, charge your account, and make purchases.

There is some trouble in re-linking the VITA.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There are times when you don’t play games, right?

I don’t know anything about the PS3 era.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

I haven’t played some consoles, but I’ve been playing games for 32 years without interruption.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

GLADIATOR ROAD TO FREEDOM REMIX

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

Gladiator, it’s your turn.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

I like that you can directly hit by throwing techniques that can’t be done in the PSP version.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Jack and Daxter is interesting!

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

The one that was giving out demo discs like crazy!

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

It’s painful that the masterpiece 3 has not been released in Japan.

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>146

The domestic version has been released for PS4.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are some minor remasters, but I wish they would port more games from that era.

It should be released more on platforms like PS Classic.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

https://bushiroadgames.com/game/page/3/

Bushiroad is still actively releasing character games in console games.

CS character games feel like they have transitioned from PSP to Vita to Switch.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has FF7DC been ported?

The game is somewhat mediocre, but if you like Vincent, I think you can enjoy it.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

BCDC is not yet.

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Initial trilogy of the Zero series

Hurry and port it to the current machine.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I played Katamari Damacy so much that the stick broke.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Venus & Braves

OZ

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

From around the end of the PS1 era to this time.

I regret not buying the bargain-priced version and the omnibus.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Missing Blue

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

I heard it’s a game with an incredible amount of content, so I want to give it a try.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there were more masterpieces on the GC than on the PS2.

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>124

That’s asking for too much…

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

I don’t know about the masterpieces, but there were definitely more that I liked on the GC.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>124

If the number of titles listed here is greater, then I’ll acknowledge it!

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

GC only brings back memories of Super Smash Bros…

I’ve played countless masterpieces on the PS2 and I’m still playing them now…

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>124

In that case, I think you can just go ahead and create a thread in the GC if you want.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>124

There isn’t that in terms of the number of software or the proportion.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Vita store is still alive because I bought the PSP versions of Summon Night 3 and 4 this year.

There are probably others like me to some extent.

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can’t think of any masterpieces that can only be played on the actual PS2.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>133

If you think that while reading this thread, you are really sick!

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>133

Shadow Hearts

Shadow Hearts 2

OZ

Ace Combat 4 and Zero

New Onimusha

Another Century’s Episode 3

Legend of Legaia

Super Robot Wars OGS

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

During the PS2 era, other consoles had absolutely no chance of winning…

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many masterpiece works that haven’t increased in price because of the limit of within 5000 yen.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Grandia

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If you keep fighting that much, I’ll manage you!

Both have many masterpieces! The end!

I’ve only heard of Shadow Hearts by name, but it seems to have a lot of core fans.

Is it quite long?

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>143

Because it’s an RPG during this time period, it’s quite long.

It’s difficult if you’re not good at hitting the buttons since it’s made by a pachislot company.

A spiritual sequel is currently in development.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Wild Arms 3, but it might feel a bit too intense if I play it now.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a memory of playing mostly Musou games on PS2, but there are plenty of options even on current consoles…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Parasite Eve

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

That’s PS1.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

Was Paralive released on PS2?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before the Switch came out, Nintendo’s game consoles were machines for playing Smash Bros. with friends…

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seeing this thread makes me want to pull out my PS2 and play.

I wonder if it still works.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

Why do you think it’s not moving?

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>155

I think it’s perfectly normal to feel anxious about whether the machinery that has been stored away for a long time will work or not.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>160

Well… you don’t trust machines, do you?

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>165

It can’t be the Albedo tribe, right…?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>160

It moves normally, so don’t worry.

195: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>160

The deterioration of the rubber belt that transmits rotation is a common failure.

Mine is still okay.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>155

Everything deteriorates over time.

Moreover, it’s an electrical appliance that hasn’t been powered on regularly.

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>169

The PS2 breaks when it is powered on.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well then, I’ll go pull out my original PS3…

>>149

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It wasn’t really a fight; it was more like a crazy person started saying confusing things, so everyone jumped in with their comments.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know the price.

Oni Musha 2

Samurai

Dark Cloud

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>152

Not the chronicle, but that one!?

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>158

There are things that can only be gained here.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m currently replaying FF10 on PS2.

After this, I plan to play Shadow Hearts 2 DC.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

If someone says “GC is more fun!” despite asking for PS2 recommendations, then it’s fine to manage them immediately…

Anyway, that kind of person can’t have a proper conversation.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

The slim PS2 is great because it’s easy to clean the lens.

You can’t reach the lens of a regular PS2 without disassembling it…

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

Front Mission 5 is good.

Four is also good.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>164

Which Front Mission should I start with?

Since there are archives and I feel like I could start from any of them, that’s the only part that’s bothering me, so I can’t take the plunge.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>176

I think starting from 1 is fine.

It’s difficult because the selection of 2 is divisive and the evaluation of the remake of 12 is ambiguous.

345 has weak connections in the series, so it can be played on its own.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tulip and Indonesia

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>166

You can’t buy it for 5,000 yen, right?

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>170

You can buy it as a single item.

They’re not that expensive up to that point.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>181

Endonesia

Compatible platform: PlayStation 2
Publisher: Enix
Developer: Banpresto
Release date: May 31, 2001
Price: 6,800 yen (including tax)

201: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>188

If it’s being sold as new, I’ll buy it!

Well, when I checked the used price, it was more than double… I’m sorry.

215: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>181

It’s 8,000 yen for both at a nearby store, so I’m envious.

The love delivery category has Rule of Rose and UFO, but they’re expensive, aren’t they?

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, I’m just googling everything, but I’m grateful that there are surprisingly many cheap options.

It will probably rise soon.

For now, I’ll try playing Shadow Hearts.

It’s surprising that Ace Combat hasn’t been ported.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>168

The rights situation is…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

Berwick Saga

Even now, you can tell from the low prices of used games that it’s an SRPG where you’re knee-deep in a shitty game.

However, there are too many nutrients that can only be obtained this way, so if you’re going to play, please do so while following a guide.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like War Chronicles and Climax UC in Gundam.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

I recently replayed a war game, but the controls were so terrible that I quit immediately.

I really got into this back in the day… it was very good as an entry point into gal games.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

The PS2 had quite a few pickup troubles, so functioning units are rare.

Therefore, this HDA

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>174

It’s not particularly rare, though.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>174

If it’s rare, then the moving PS2 would be worth even more…

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

A new release has come out, including Shutoko Battle 0 and Shutoko Battle 01.

I recommend Kaido Battle 2 and C1 Grand Prix Racing Battle.

You don’t have to buy the legend of KAIDO Pass yet.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is ICO only for PS2?

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>183

There is also a PS3.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>183

It has been ported to PS3.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>183

Playable on PS3 and PS4.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wrestle Angels Survivor 2

I was about to reply, but I got scared when I saw the price.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it a shared memory that when you play normally, it breaks and when you reposition it vertically or horizontally, it starts moving?

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember that Front Mission 3 was the most interesting, but it was a PS1 game.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

Endonesia and Tulip were just barely under 5000 at the local book market, but…

Recently, it has risen in price and has become around 8000.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ar tonelico

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I counted my PS2 games, I found exactly 40 of them.

It may not increase from here.

I’m buying the works I want to do.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it a bit strict for it to be under 5000 yen at the regular price!?

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s quite good that it’s not FF10 International, as there are no Dark Summons and the Chocobo bug.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bravo Music

I think it was necessary to have a pressure-sensitive button, so it had to be an official controller.

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

Where can you buy PS2 games at full price these days?

206: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>202

Yamada Denki

212: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>206

I wonder how they can keep that game section running like that.

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, it’s probably harder to buy it at the regular price now…

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gladiator Rtf Remix

An action RPG made in Japan with an amazing Western game-like atmosphere.

205: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If the list price is set, isn’t the game basically ruined?

207: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tales of Destiny 2

208: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t it true that used items are more expensive now?

209: Japan Otaku Reviews

I ruined a disc by using my slim PS2 roughly, so I want to get an Endonesia too…

210: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Bouncer

I’m not joking; I think it’s a good game because it’s cheap, has great volume, is easy to play, and has a pleasant taste.

214: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>210

That’s an interesting joke.

216: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>210

The volume may be lacking, but it’s still enjoyable in a normal way…

211: Japan Otaku Reviews

Indonesia is around 8000 yen.

213: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, the production of PS2 games has ended, hasn’t it?
