I haven't properly edited gameplay like this into my videos in many many years... it's been so long since I felt that feeling of being satisfied with all the hours put into the finished video. Could this be the start to rekindling a flame in my desire to edit videos? We'll see if it's worth it. I hope the gameplay helps in your purchasing decisions!
Odo Odo Oddity looks amazing and I'm definitely going to check it out. I appreciated the game play clips for this one because I knew of none of these games. I would have been lost without footage. Keep up the ps1 content (or any content really) and I'll keep watching.
Absolutely wonderful to see you making videos again! Talking to a camera is good on its own, but showing game play as well is the cherry on top! I look forward to seeing more recommendations of obscure games I've never heard of, just like the good old days. Also, regarding "Ten Made Jack", the title means something like "Jack all the way to the heavens" (subtitle: "The bewildering great death climb up the bean stalk"), and the "ma" and "de" are pronounced seperately. Signed, some dude who spent four years learning japanese and feels the need to flex.
I have been collecting more ps1 Japanese games lately, so thank you for this video! I’m looking forward to more of this. Bring on the Japanese ps2 stuff!😁
The cover art for Kaze No Notam is a beautiful piece by artist Hiroshi Nagai. I LOVE his art style! I'm not sure this piece was made just for the game but it's very similar to the one he made for Max Romeo's "Loving You" in 1983 or Naoya Matsuoka's "September Wind" also in 1983. Another 80s Japanese illustrator with a similar, but more detailed art style is Eizin Suzuki. They're the two big names when it comes to 80s LP cover art in the city pop / jazz fusion music genre. Eizin Suzuki is well known these days for the cover art he did for Tatsuro Yamashita's "For You" in 1982.
Huge thanks for this. I'm currently on a PS1 'kick' thanks to the new(ish) MiSTer core, and am hugely interested in titles that I haven't played to death 20+ years ago.
Honestly I’m really happy to see you back and making videos at this level of output again. I’ve been following you on RUclips for at least a decade. I’ve popped into a few streams but it’s really not my preferred entertainment medium. So seeing you make videos again has been awesome. Keep it up.
You've spoiled us with three of these great videos in one week, Pete! And your picks are excellent--I'm so glad Kaze no Notam got some love! I've yet to pick up a copy but I've put on the soundtrack many times over the past couple of years. I hope you're having a great day!
Its crazy how some amazing games only came out in Japan. My top 3 Japan exclusive games for the ps1 are: Kitchen Panic, Nekketsu Oyako and Fist of the North Star.
Really enjoy this content man. I love learning about lesser known imports. I have pretty solid Famicom, MD, Sufami, and Saturn import libraries, but import PS1 is pretty unexplored, so this is really educational. Definitely going to pick up Gear Fighter Dendoh asap.
I like seeing retro games that I've never seen before, so thanks for these videos. I think the days when I aspired to collect games like this myself are well over now though - the prices are just too crazy now.
Honestly I'd love to see a video on Japanese only RPGs regardless of how much text they might have. Also good call on putting some game footage into this video. The weirder a game is the harder it is to get a clear idea of what it is based on a description alone.
Honestly I seen some of your vids and I always appreciate hidden gems and obscure stuff to add to my collection. But having to open another window to see the gameplay was annoying. I'm glad you included gameplay and More so import friendly games. I've pretty much rounded out my collection so now I'm looking more into the Japanese market. Keep these vids coming. Subbed
Dendoh is my childhood! It is really fun even tho you can't play 2 players I recently tried Lucifer Ring and Kaze no Notam, Lucifer Ring is simple but great gameplay, and Notam is really relaxing but hard to master And others look cool too! Thanks for the recommendation! Looking forward for more PS1 games contents!!
Thank you for the content Pete I really enjoy these types of videos. I’ve been recently exploring Japan PS1 imports and one of my favorites is Groove Jigoku V, a Warioware type mini game compilation that’s essentially the predecessor to Work Time Fun for PSP. There’s a lot of games you covered that I haven’t discovered yet!
Thanks for the video, would love to see more as its cool to collect jpn imports to me. Sadly so many of them are expensive nowadays like you said haha.
i would say this video is a rare gem. thank you for the great selection of games that honestly i don't often see reviewed, if ever, on other videos. that odo games has that same over the top artistic vibe of that sega saturn 2d platformer title, astal.
I'm looking for Japan exclusive PS1 games as we speak, I really recommend the PSIO, I've been having a blast and currently have all the PAL exclusives but am missing out on some Japan exclusives, thanks for the recommendations Pete!
Wow seems like Pete is back again! :D Absolute legend of RUclips and video game related vlogging. Glad to see you brother, thanks to you I started collecting video games for real :)
Great video Pete! Definitely going to be on the look out for a few of these over the next few weeks. Especially Odo Odo oddity and kaze no notam. Ten made jack though....I can't handle that music! 😂
This is great! Hopefully you continue this into a series, maybe with PS2 as well. Really appreciate the great video and the inclusion of gameplay footage.
Wow I just happen to remember your name randomly today and wondering if you still make videos. Glade you do cause I haven’t watch your videos since I was in middle school w the ps2 collection/360.. now I am 28 and just remembering the nostalgia I had.
more of these videos please, been watching for years and imports im very fresh on. some cool looking titles here. thanks for taking the time and making content.
I have Lucifer Ring! Here are some other honorable mentions: Aconcagua Baby Universe The Adventures of Robin Lloyd Blaze & Blade: Busters Boku no Natsuyasumi Boundary Gate (super good and overlooked!) Critical Blow Deep Freeze Gekisou Tomarunner Lup Salad Genei Tougi Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Gekitouhen Love Love Truck Soukaigi Silent Mobius Welcome House 2 Wonder Trek Racing Lagoon Tiny Bullets
Proof ahgain there is no game too obscure for PeteDorr. And yes I want more of these for sure, this generation of Japan games specifically that work with only and English speaker. I have access to all games so I need to know what to play and this is exactly what I want to see more of. Earlier generations had more games that English can playh, but this generation and further got more and more text and speech so hard to find them.
Really well made video. I have no interest in PS1, let alone imports, but nonetheless I watched the entire video and would watch more. It's fascinating to see the gameplay.
Hi. I had about 150 of these games back in the day. I’m trying to search for a puzzle game that was, if I can remember was a maybe rotating shape with arrows on it . Racking my brains here , weird puzzle thing
These games all look legit terrible. Lol. But I like your passion for these weird PS1 imports. I prefer JP PS1 games like Gradius Gaiden, Rakugaki Showtime and Panzer Bandit. But to each his own!
I haven't properly edited gameplay like this into my videos in many many years... it's been so long since I felt that feeling of being satisfied with all the hours put into the finished video. Could this be the start to rekindling a flame in my desire to edit videos? We'll see if it's worth it. I hope the gameplay helps in your purchasing decisions!
Love you, brother
Great job. Can you do some in-depth reviews?
OG viewer since i was like 13 back in the day here and man I'm really glad to see you back again!
I love the added game footage. Super appreciate that. Definitely could watch tons of these recent videos. Learning a lot. Thanks so much Pete.
Love Gear Fighter! 👍
7:04 this game reminds me of walking home from the bar
I just love the look of PS1 and early PS2 era games it felt so special and magical
Gameplay moves these videos into must watch
I love these old school style videos - keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻
I appreciate these videos because just the US PS1 library is great. Adding the imports opens it up even more. :)
Many of these videos? Hell yes! Can’t wait for more!
I love the vibe of these games you picked, really cool games.
great video once again. I want a copy of Kaze no notam. these more relaxing games are a nice addition for sure.
Pete, I LOVE these kinds of videos!! Do a Japanese PS2 one!!! 💜💜💜
Always a nice surpirse to see an upload from you Pete!!!
thanks for the gameplay footage, these look amazing!
really considering looking into ps1 japan imports now
Odo Odo Oddity looks amazing and I'm definitely going to check it out. I appreciated the game play clips for this one because I knew of none of these games. I would have been lost without footage. Keep up the ps1 content (or any content really) and I'll keep watching.
I've been watching your video since I was around 15 years old; I'm 25 now and super happy to see you still kind of making videos. Cheers!
These kinds of videos are why I’ve been following you since 2008/09. Great content, Pete. I’ll be tracking some of these down for sure.
Absolutely wonderful to see you making videos again! Talking to a camera is good on its own, but showing game play as well is the cherry on top! I look forward to seeing more recommendations of obscure games I've never heard of, just like the good old days.

Love all the gameplay all new games for me so great to see how they play!

Pete those videos are a goldmine! Im so happy you decided to make these :) Please make more!
Its crazy how some amazing games only came out in Japan. My top 3 Japan exclusive games for the ps1 are: Kitchen Panic, Nekketsu Oyako and Fist of the North Star.
Nekketsu oyako also hit Saturn. I used to have it.
Very much appreciate the gameplay footage. Definitely enjoying these
The PS1/Saturn/N64 generation has always been my favourite. Thank you so much for making these videos.
Really enjoy this content man. I love learning about lesser known imports. I have pretty solid Famicom, MD, Sufami, and Saturn import libraries, but import PS1 is pretty unexplored, so this is really educational. Definitely going to pick up Gear Fighter Dendoh asap.

Thanks for getting me into retro gaming/collecting Pete

This is why I watch you here and Twitch. Awesome video!
Thanks for putting in the hard work with the edit. This was a joy to watch
Dendoh is my childhood! It is really fun even tho you can't play 2 players
I recently tried Lucifer Ring and Kaze no Notam, Lucifer Ring is simple but great gameplay, and Notam is really relaxing but hard to master
And others look cool too! Thanks for the recommendation! Looking forward for more PS1 games contents!!
TYSM FOR SUCH AN INCREDIBLE VIDEO PETE, ILL KEEP WATCHING ANY VIDEO YOU UPLOAD
Thank you for the content Pete I really enjoy these types of videos. I’ve been recently exploring Japan PS1 imports and one of my favorites is Groove Jigoku V, a Warioware type mini game compilation that’s essentially the predecessor to Work Time Fun for PSP.

Thanks for the video, would love to see more as its cool to collect jpn imports to me. Sadly so many of them are expensive nowadays like you said haha.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Pete. Great video!
I will def check them out. A Xbox 360 Hidden Gems Video would be nice
OH NO! aka Back to the Future for NES if it were playable
Imported Japanese video games are so unique in a way.
i would say this video is a rare gem. thank you for the great selection of games that honestly i don't often see reviewed, if ever, on other videos. that odo games has that same over the top artistic vibe of that sega saturn 2d platformer title, astal.
Very nice. Dendoh is a fun game, played it one or twice.
I'm looking for Japan exclusive PS1 games as we speak, I really recommend the PSIO, I've been having a blast and currently have all the PAL exclusives but am missing out on some Japan exclusives, thanks for the recommendations Pete!
Wow seems like Pete is back again! :D Absolute legend of RUclips and video game related vlogging. Glad to see you brother, thanks to you I started collecting video games for real :)
Same
Pleaaaasse do more of these. I’ve never heard of any of these games and I thought i had pretty good knowledge of the ps1 library but I guess not lol
Thank you so much for making these videos.
Great selection Pete, was fun watching you stream them, even if the Jack and the beanstalk game was frustrating!
Would love to see a dozen of these vids. I have over 100 imports but none of these, think I missed the boat on these price wise however.
Great video Pete! Definitely going to be on the look out for a few of these over the next few weeks. Especially Odo Odo oddity and kaze no notam. Ten made jack though....I can't handle that music! 😂
Controversial, but overall I like PS1 more than PS2
This is great! Hopefully you continue this into a series, maybe with PS2 as well. Really appreciate the great video and the inclusion of gameplay footage.
I know it is more work for you but I really like it that you included gameplay this time
Wow I just happen to remember your name randomly today and wondering if you still make videos. Glade you do cause I haven’t watch your videos since I was in middle school w the ps2 collection/360.. now I am 28 and just remembering the nostalgia I had.
amazing selection! actually very nice to see your gameplay bits. i will give at least 4 of these games a chance soon:)

Thanks for showing gameplay. It's the 1 and only thing that I was gonna comment about
Thanks for doing these man! Love it ❤️

Nice! Thank you for making this! I've not heard of any of those titles! Keep them coming!
I love these videos . The ones that looked interesting to me in this video are way too expensive though .
More videos Pete!
Thank you for the new video Pete!
Great video I have a Japanese ps2 so I’m always looking for more playable Japanese ps1 and ps2 games.
I appreciate the effort and work it took to put gameplay in

In Oh Ho it seems that in 8:02 two men choose to go women's (onna) side instead of men's (otoko) side 🙂. Great to see not so well known games!
This is awesome! Thank you for doing this series.
Surprised to see an upload, I really miss this channel.
Top video, we need sequels
I finally found your channel again! Noice.
Ah, time for those old hidden gems, nice share man 🤠✌️
Please add gameplay videos in future videos it helps a lot
Great stuff.
Keep ‘em coming 👍🏻
eggscellent choices pete! 😎
Love the video keep it coming Japan 🇯🇵 culture is good
the Let's go Jack song can't get out of your brain
I really enjoy these new videos!
Awesome video!
Absolutely loved this. On ebay right now. Love ya Pete B)
Great games. Great video. Thanks.
Proof ahgain there is no game too obscure for PeteDorr. And yes I want more of these for sure, this generation of Japan games specifically that work with only and English speaker. I have access to all games so I need to know what to play and this is exactly what I want to see more of. Earlier generations had more games that English can playh, but this generation and further got more and more text and speech so hard to find them.
Metal slug x is so fun I recommend the game for ps1 import collecting
The PS1 definitely has some unique games (to say the least) that unfortunately never made it to the US.
Really well made video. I have no interest in PS1, let alone imports, but nonetheless I watched the entire video and would watch more. It's fascinating to see the gameplay.
more of these videos !!! and pls other sytems like ps2
Thanks, will check them out!
Hi. I had about 150 of these games back in the day. I’m trying to search for a puzzle game that was, if I can remember was a maybe rotating shape with arrows on it . Racking my brains here , weird puzzle thing
You should do a Dreamcast import RPG video. There are a good amount of them that are really obscure in the west.
Wow very good nice. I'm your fan＋👍🔔
Great channel , subbed
Would love to see the Japanese rpg video!
hell yea pete! love this shit!
id love to see some saturn imports if you got em
These games all look legit terrible. Lol. But I like your passion for these weird PS1 imports. I prefer JP PS1 games like Gradius Gaiden, Rakugaki Showtime and Panzer Bandit. But to each his own!
Top 10 quirkiest Japanese games.
yes
Please can you do another video with Johnny AKA The Happy Console Gamer? Great video Pete! :)
