So on the 16th I will be making yet another visit to what I feel like is becoming my second home. While I can read kana and a wee bit of Kanji, any time I go to the game stores I feel overwhelmed and my mind shuts down and it all becomes a wall of scribble scrabble. This time I'm going to try and be proactive and hopefully get some ideas for some quality DS/PSP/PS3 games, new or old. It doesn't help that I feel rushed whenever I'm trying to browse, my girl gets impatient quick and that throws my thought process even more in the garbage. 
 
I'm not looking for any RPG's though, so I suppose that knocks about half of the game suggestions out! On a side note, does anyone know any good game stores in Osaka other than the usual ones like Super Potato? I have been to both locations in Osaka but I know there must be more out there with the same mix of new and old in one store.

So what *are* you looking for specifically if not RPGs? Give us a sampler of what you have enjoyed playing on those devices?

Just about anything, action, puzzle, adventure, racing. The key prerequisite  is that there is not massive amounts of text, like an RPG, my Japanese is not up to snuff.

The DS Castlevania games tend to be expansive and full of exploration fun when they're not lobbing hard-as-nails bosses at you, and the amount of text in that game is pretty acceptable. Banga-O Spirits is enjoyable, too.

Radiant Silvergun. MAKE IT HAPPEN

If your looking for something fun to play on the psp you can always check out the patapon games. And there are the zelda games on the ds you could check out too. 
I don't know what you have/like though.
