Well you cant realy say that anymore since 2 of the 4 arnt fighting games.... Check the link.... http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/cat_86.html
I don't know which game you are talking about but i tiried the 3rd phantom(which was the newest).I knew it wasn't 2d but it gave me a very good idea of bleach(I hadn't heard bleach before).Good game , too many dialogues I know.I have it. Not very good games I'm not interested in Japanese language games (except for dragonball ) I got the translation patch for JUMP Ultimate Stars in 20 minutes after it was uploaded,so it's not in the japanese language anymore. Thanks for the quick answers.
Come on.... All you do in fighting games is beat the hell out of your opponent.... You don't need to understand a language to do that....
How about Draglade? It's a fighting game,released in english,and 2d. It has a sequel too,but that was only released in japan(even though there is a menu translation available)
