...the Japanese PSN store?
I heard The King Of Fighters XI, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, and Garou Mark Of The Wolves are available on the Japanese PSN. I already made a Japanese account in my PS3, but it is hard to find the games because I don't know how to read Japanese.
They also have Phantom Breaker Extra, and Blade Arcus From Shining, and I wonder if those would ever have a Western release, so I might as well get them too. I wish they had Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code, and The King Of Fighters Neowave, but I heard they don't have those.

Thanks, yeah that one is old, but somehow I managed to find the genre I like by luck, but now I'm stuck at a screen.

The first entry parameter is your last name, the second is your given. In Japan, the family name precedes the given name. The last is your sex (optional). 男- Male 女 - Female The 3 tabs below are Cancel, Previous/Return, and Next in that order. With O=Previous/Return, and X=Confirm If you want the input of your name in Katakana, I can show you how your name can be written. But you'll have to give me your real name for me to do it... If you manage to get past that, Just tell me what game you want and I will give you the Japanese title equavelant here.

Gustavo Avilés = グスタヴォー・アビレス (I'm assuming your last name is pronounced 'Avi'-'less'. If it's 'Avi'-'leigh', swap the アビレス with アビレイ)
So you want アビレス (or アビレイ) in the top parameter, and グスタヴォー in the second. But if it allows entry for your name in the regular alphabet, I'd just stick with that. Get back to me if there are more parameters to fill after that initial screen.
The King Of Fighters XI ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ イレブン Neo Geo Battle Coliseum ネオジオ バトルコロシアム Garou Mark Of The Wolves 餓狼 (or try ガロウ/がろう) Phantom Breaker Extra ファントムブレイカー: Extra Blade Arcus From Shining ブレードアークス from シャイニング Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code メルティブラッド アクトレスアゲイン The King Of Fighters Neowave ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ NEOWAVE
Addendum: Your last name could also be written as アヴィレス (or アヴィレイ). Maybe this version is a little closer to the real pronounciation. But it's ultimately inconsequential.

Thank you man, it is pronounced Avi-less like you guessed first. The next screen is the address, so I guess I'm screwed because I don't have a Japanese address.

That's Hiragana. You want to change it to Katakana. Akin to switching from lower case to caps in the Roman alphabet.
P.S If you haven't entered your name yet for the initial screen, and you still want to enter it in Katakana instead of ABCs, it might be better to use アヴィレス instead of アビレス like I initially said. So your full name would be グスタヴォー・アヴィレス But remember that アヴィレスbeing your last name comes first in the top parameter when entering it.

That's what I was afraid of. You're going to need a Japanese address to join. What you can do is sign up for a storage suite with a forwarding service like TensoI believe there might be an initial sign up fee, but you can then keep that address forever. Plus you can then order from places like Amazon.co.jp if you're so inclined. There isn't any uppercase or lowercase as we think of them in Japanese actually. Hiragana is mainly used for the native Japanese sentence grammar construction, while Katakana is mainly for foreign/Western derived nouns. That's why the majority of Japanese titles are written in Katakana, just as your own name would be.
To make it a little easier for you to input the characters, these are how the characters sound as listed on the display as per top row down. a ka sa ta na ha ma ya ra wa i ki shi chi ni hi mi yu ri wo u ku su tsu nu fu mu yo ro n e ke se te ne he me " re - o ko so to no ho mo . ro (small characters) They will be the same for Hiragana or Katakana.

That's so cool you know all that. Maybe if I use any address? A McDonald's in Tokyo perhaps. They are digital purchases so it should not matter. Besides I'm not using a credit card, I will use a Japanese PSN card. What should I choose? It's the last step. I entered my US address in probably the wrong fields and it says this:

These are what the parameters are from the top: 郵便番号 = Postal Number 都道府県 = Perfecture 市区町村 = City 住所と番地 = Address ビル、マンション名 = Building name If you have an address in mind, copy and paste here and I'll tell you what belongs where.

It worked! I'm in. For the second to last I only entered the one symbol I was able to find, while for the last field I just put JR. Thank you man, now I can add items to my cart, I already have 10 on it. Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
