Whooper Of Xbox 360 BC/Region-Free List For Japan
Kingrocka over at game site CAG pinged us, letting us know that he's done folks living in The Land of the Rising Sun a huge favor by compiling a huge backwards compatibility/region-free list for the Japanese Xbox 360. Hit the jump for his post in full.
360 JP Backward Compatibility/Region-Free List if you feel this doesn't belong here, i apologize. i thought this might help some people decide on the purchase of a jp 360. it has been a really nice added feature for me. ninja gaiden can still hang with the best of the next gen (but NG black cant for some reason).-
UPDATE: Jim's Attic

this is a site run by a guy in japan who appears to be xbox superfan #1. it may not be an exhaustive list, but it's bigger than mine. if you want, you can cross reference it with the BC list to find some games that should work for you.UPDATE: Added for reference
