Is there a list of Japanese PS3 games that feature English (menus, text, and voices) when played on a North American PS3 (with an NA account and language set to English?

So far I've tried the following and found them to be fully in English on both NA and JP PS3s:

Devil May Cry 4
Uncharted
Ridge Racer 7
Resistance

Tested by others:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Warhawk
Virtua Fighter 5
Ratchet and Clank
Pixel Junk Racers
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Tekken 5 DR


On the other hand, Sega Rally REVO, Burnout Paradise and GT5P don't.

So if you have tried any game, please report your findings here.

I thought this would be useful for people with NA PS3s but living in Japan, or when a Japanese version of a game can be found cheaper or sooner.

Bought it early thinking it'd be decent... heh.

On the other hand, Sega Rally REVO and GT5P don't. I'll try Burnout Paradise and report back (no English when played on a JP PS3).

i have burnout asia region and it has full english>.>

Dont be suprirsed if Dragonball Z Burst limit goes in that category aswell.

The game comes out only a week later in the US so i bet it has english already on the disc.

 

[Space Runaway]

The Japanese Virtua Fighter 5 switches completely to English when played on a US PS3. The Japanese match commentary becomes English too.

 

[tanod]

Almost all of Sony's first party releases have all languages. Only the Asian versions of MotorStorm and Hot Shots Golf come to mind as games which don't.

I've only tried my JP version on my JP PS3, but I'll double check by playing my version on my bro's NA PS3.

I'll also check Minna no Golf 5 and Genji on his system. No need to check Ryuu ga Gotoku Kenzan as that is sure to be purely in Japanese no matter what system it's played on.

Tekken 5DR - English
Eye of Judgment - English (but the cards are all JP of course)
Ratchet & Clank: Future - English

Burnout Paradise - Japanese Only (but can play cross region)
GTA5P (JP PSN version) - Japanese only (There is some english in the menus)
COD4 - Japanese (Dialogue is English)
FlOw - Japanese (not much to read though...)
SuperStardust (StarStrike in JP) - Japanese

[Zoc]

Pixel Junk Monsters - Japanese

I bought that in Japan on a Japanese PS3 too, and it's completely in English, no Japanese at all.

I'll also add
Heavenly Sword - English dialogue but Japanese menus
Oblivion - completely Japanese
Star Strike HD (Super Star Dust)- Some Japanese, but a lot of English and completely playable with any knowledge of Japanese.

Echochrome is mostly in English too. I know that's not the point of the thread, but there you go.

Japanese version of Folklore was Japanese only as well.

Metal Gear Online Premiere β

Too bad no one can log on yet. :lol

Japanese version of Folklore was Japanese only as well.

FMVs in Folks Soul are dubbed in English with JP subs.

 

[Zoc]

It might also be worth noting PS2 games that support full English on Japanese systems. That info is much harder to come by than for the PS3.

I have Rez and Buile Baku (building demolition puzzle game) which are both completely bilingual, and apparently so are Devil May Cry 3, Shin Onimusha, and Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[Miburou]

Note that there is a difference between JP PS3 games and Asian PS3 games, as Asian games are more English friendly (was the same with the PS2). For example tribal24 says that Asian Burnout has English, while I just tried the JP version on my bro's US PS3 and it does not.

 

[flipping_heck]

Any word if the JPN release of Trusty Bell/Eternal Sonata having any english options?
