Japanese release dates PlayStation 3 titles are beginning to appear - six titles confirmed for launch.
A bunch of press info has been released, revealing a rough Japanese release schedule for the upcoming PlayStation 3 games. Six titles are currently confirmed for the November 11 launch. These are Genji: Days of the Blade, Mah-Jong Fight Club Online, Mobile Suit Gundam: Target In Sight, Resistance: Fall of Man, Sega Golf Club featuring the Miyazato Family and Ridge Racer 7. In addition Armored Core 4 is scheduled for November.
December should see the release of F1 Championship, Gran Turismo HD and MotorStorm. Sonic the Hedgehog and Fatal Inertia are down for release in 2006, and a further three titles are listed for release in the winter - these being Need for Speed Carbon, Enchant Arm and Railfan.
Moving into 2007 there's a further 12 titles lined-up. In the spring expect to see Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realms, The Eye of Judgment and Wangan Midnight. Even later as we move into the summer months, Japanese PS3 owners should eventually see Everybody's Golf 5 and Warhawk. Titles also listed for release in 2007, but without a firm release date are Afrika, Coded Arms: Assault, and the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
With all the games with at least a vague release date covered, there are also a handful of games with a yet to be announced release date. These include Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, Shirokishi and fl0w.
Whilst most probably not complete, the list is the most comprehensive available to date.

Hardly screams buy me does it? Which makes me think the Euro delay is a blessing in disguise. 2007 looks a lot better for games.
