Japanese games that never made it across the Pacific can be huge hits on the import market. Now, with the advent of digital distribution, older titles can find new life and new audiences with minimal effort. Monkeypaw Games has started to release unedited PSOne games in their original Japanese on the PSN and Yukiniku Bugyou, available for $5.99, is now available.
PS3 Attitude says: "Recently I had the chance to try out a couple of games which to my knowledge did knot exist before they hit the store. Two PSone era Japanese imports which may not have stood the test of time but whose gameplay mechanics we still see today."
Examiner: Given MonkeyPaw Games' penchant for bringing over little-known (and some well-known) Japanese-developed PlayStation games, it's no surprise that they would eventually get into the cooking/restaurant genre at some point. Yakiniku Bugyou takes the Japanese art of grilling and puts it in a game where different dishes cook at different speeds and every customer is both picky and impatient.
Yakiniku Bugyou is a new release in the Japanese Import section on Playstation Network. Being the first in the series, you take on the role of a Japanese chef who has to grill food for customers on a barbecue. Yakiniku Bugyou is like being a barbecue pit master, but Japanese style.
it's good casual fun but hard to figure out, unless you read Monkey Paw's online instructions.
what is this?
It's a PSOne Import game just released by Monkeypaw games. It was... interesting. Not the easiest game I've had to review.
