Given the latest firmware update for the PS3 has enabled upscaling of PS2 (and PS1) titles to HD resolutions, there is now real incentive to play these games on a PS3. I have an Asian PS3 which unfortunately only plays NTSC/J PS2 games, so I am trying to compile a list of NTSC/J PS2 titles (Japanese, Asian and Korean) that do support English in one form or another. I have spent the last couple of hours on the web looking for such a list, but none seems to exist . A resource like this would be a valuable one for the many importers out there so if anyone knows any NTSC/J titles that do support English, could you please list them here. I'll start the list of with several titles that do fit this criteria.

NTSC/J PS2 Titles with English Support

1. Silent Hill 2
2. Silent Hill 3
3. Silent Hill 4
4. Ace Combat 4 (Text and Voice)
5. Devil May Cry (Voice and menus only)
6. Fatal Fury Collection vol. 1
7. Fatal Fury Collection vol. 2
8. Final Fantasy X International
9. Final Fantasy X-2 International (Voice only)
10. God Of War (Korean NTSC/J version has English voice and Korean subs)
11. Burnout Dominator
12. Resident Evil 4 (There is an Asian NTSC/J English version of the game)
13. Shadow of the Colossus (Chinese NTSC/J version supports English text with Japanese vocals)
14. Tekken 5 (Chinese NTSC/J version supports English)
15. Soul Calibur 3 (Chinese NTSC/J version supports English)
16. Okami (Korean NTSC/J version supports English. Note that there is also a Korean NTSC/J Japanese language version!)
17. Odin Sphere (Korean NTSC/J version supports English and Japanese vocals with English subtitles)

I own a NTSC/J PS Two.

Two versions of Okami were released for Korea - one Japanese language the other English which is the one I bought.

God Of War 1 - Korean version as the English language soundtrack with Korean subtitles. Japanese GOW is dubbed into Japanese.( I understand )

Burnout Dominator - Asia version is all English. ( Just wish I could get the progressive scan mode to work ) Japanese version is not yet available.

Resident Evil 4 - Asia release available in English version.

Shadow of the Collossus - China release is available in a English version.

Tekken 5 - China release is available in a English version.

Soul Calibur 3 - China release is available in a English version.


Theres proberly alot more English language NTSC/J games out there these are just the ones I have bought.

All the above have been stocked by PlayAsia over time. Some titles are now out of print and unavailable.

Thanks for the reply Cinema_Revival . I have updated the list accordingly. Anyone else out there with more info? I am especially interested in the Korean version of Rogue Galaxy. From the screenshots shown at the Play-Asia site the game appears to contain English text only. Can anyone else confirm this?
