One thing I love about collecting for Japanese systems is finding interesting fighting games. I have trouble finding a good Platformer I never heard of, but fighting games were the hotness.
Here's a little sample of game I have enroute to me from Japan. This is just the japan exclusive stuff.
Toshinden 2 Plus (I think only regular 2 came west)
Nitoshinden
Goiken Muyou 2 (HUGE fan of the first game on saturn)
Critical blow
Zero Divide 1 and 2 (2 never came stateside)
Tobal 2
Genei Tougi
Heaven's gate
Then I have Japanese versions of Tekken 2 and 3, and Ehrgiez (Power stone before Power stone)
All of these seem at least kind of interesting and there's a ton of these on PlayStation. I'm sure they aren't all good but I think some of these looked awesome. Critical Blow especially. One thing about games of this era, even if the game is eeeeehhhhh, the music is usually really really good.
I know alot of people like to dump on Toshinden, but I really enjoy it. Again it's a case of even if the game is meh, the music is good enough to keep you engaged.
I don't know how fondly people remember Ehrgiez other than it has Cloud and Tifa in it, but it's an early example of what became Power stone.
