Which would you recommend, and are there playable demos for these games? Just hope they're not region locked like LoveFOOTBALL was.
Eschatos is Region free so you can order it from Japan and it'll work on your console anyways, not sure about the Wonder Version though.
Region Free: Mushihimesama Futari (1.5) ESPGaluda II Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets Bullet Soul Eschatos Got a PAL release: Death Smiles Akai Katana Shin Dodonpachi Resurrection Of the PAL / Region free games on the list i would get: Dodonpachi Resurrection Akai Katana Shin ESPGaluda II Mushihimesama Futari On the JPN marketplace you will find demos of Raiden Fighter Aces and Akai Katana Shin that are not region locked.
