PS1:PS1 Japan-exclusive games

This article is a compilation of video games that were exclusively released in Japan for the iconic Sony PlayStation console. Throughout the 1990s, Japan saw an impressive array of exclusive PS1 titles, numbering over xyz, that never made their way to international markets due to various factors, including cultural differences and niche appeal. These exclusives encompass a wide range of genres, from beloved JRPGs like "Tales of Phantasia" and "Xenogears" to unique arcade experiences like "DoDonPachi" and "Einhänder." Many of these games achieved critical acclaim and played a significant role in shaping the Japanese gaming landscape.
