I think you mean top 100 games to pirate with freeMcBoot
And when you make videos like this
Can you put names what the games are called lol
Garou: Mark of the Wolves and Melty Blood: Actress Again kick ass.
I keep thinking that’s Mini-Me shouting “EEEEEEEEE!!!”
Can you make the part 2?
Thank you so much for this vid!
Bro how come japan got to get Sengoku BASARA 2 and that another century mech game looks sick
Mr Mosquito had US launch
Man, i miss when videogames had this amount of variety.
I own 10 games from this list (mostly fighters)the rest are pretty much unplayable if you don´t know Japanese.
Let me make it real easy for ya buy a Japanese ps2 and you can play Japanese ps2 games
Great video and great selection of fascinating games. Shame the annotated name of the game is on so briefly that’s it hard to catch the name. So thanks for providing a full list in the details instead, the time point links are brilliant. Must have been hard work.
Appreciate the videos, been an awesome resource for importing!
Anyone remember a Japan only rhythm game involving cat/dog people in a bar? I remember X-Play doing a review of the game and the mystery of what that game was is driving me crazy! The games’ story involves a love triangle. A scrawny teenage cat/dog person and a buff, rock n’ roll type cat/dog person are trying to win the affections of some girl that works at or frequents the bar/nightclub/whatever where the game takes place. Dancing ensues. I’m almost positive that it was a PS2 game, and that it was reviewed on X-Play. I just want to know what the hell that game was, and where I can find X-Play’s review of it, assuming X-Play reviewed it…Maybe I just saw a trailer/gameplay footage for it on an episode of Cinematech…
I recently downloaded around 1200 Japanese PS1 games. Looks like I’ll be doing the same for PS2.
The artwork in the Japanese games, both box art and in-game, is amazing.
What I had only is the 13:43, 13 and 2009 version.
Front Mission 5 still hurts =(
Which are the best out of these?
whats the background music at the beginning? its so good
The music is from Ōkami, right? What’s the song? Cuz Ōkami has an immense number of songs and I can’t seem to find it xD
[edit]: nvm is Orca’s theme.
Where’s Berserk Millenium Falcon?.
The music doesn’t match the video at all
where is the top 100 unreleased japanese ps3 games at?
most of these videos has a ps3 graphics ,
japan the best …
So… Where is shonobido?
you need to put the names on those
Thanks for going to the effort, but to actually go through all of them and count the order to find the one that they want but who has time for that? It would have been nice to have the time stamp on each one so that they could be easily identitified. But something is better than nothing someone somewhere I guess.
Really want Game Hacks? Then Vist Google For "Crustygames 4u". There You Will Find Several Hacks For Games.
why did you include europe games like Firefighter FD18
Sengoku hime?
This lost could be filled up with hentai games
Great video, thanks for doing this.
Wtf it’s so sad how many people don’t get to play these because of stupid region locks.

There a game you forgot it is katekyo Hitman Reborn Hyper Dream Battle
What is the name of game in minute 8:00?
That Tetsujin28 game looks good.
11:31 This game name is?
That first game is what happens when Luigi’s mansion & super mario 64 has a baby
Giogio’s bizarre adventure
Would have been nice if you names the games
