As everyone knows, I love Japanese games – especially JRPGs. GUST (the folks behind the Atelier games) is my favourite developer at the moment, which is appropriate that Tecmo Koei (the Warriors games) acquired it, as TK is my favourite publisher.
At the moment I'm playing Tales of XXXXX (whatever it is) f, which is a reasonable game. The series doesn't resonate with me quite as well as its fans though.
Favorite Japanese games…. Mario. Monster Hunter Tri. These count right?
Japanese games are awesome! Especially the DS games that didn't get released elsewhere. I mean, they show lots of, um… and they let you finger… er… 🙂
Retro Game Challenge 2 (DS) is absolutely awesome and one that I really wish would've released outside of Japan.
I'm not too big into current Eastern flavored games, but the classics still hold up for me big time. When I look back on it, pretty much everything I played when I was a kid was from a Japanese developer/publisher.

As far as non-Nintendo stuff, Cave Story and Metal Gear Solid are my things.
