Microsoft Japan dropped a bomb on…well, that’s pretty tasteless, come to think about it. Microsoft Japan took a big dump on Tokyo…wait, that’s kind of bad too. Okay — a recent press conference announced 31 titles for the Xbox 360 in Japan, and now we have a trailer that shows many of them off.
As you’d imagine, most of it is what our own Nick Chester called “gaijin crap,” which means stuff we already have. LikeMass Effect.AndNHL 2K9. Seriously? But now that Japan has over 1 million Xbox 360 users, I think launching these games are good move for them. Someone’s got to buy some of them, right?

As for the non “gaijin crap” highlights to look for, I made a little list of the interesting/new stuff.
In order of appearance:
Granted, we’re not getting all of the above listed, but does any of this appeal to you? I’m glad lots of shmups are coming to Japan’s Xbox 360. On top of that, I’m interested in both the fighters andManga Carta 2. What about you?
