Plenty of them are. Lots of games don't need any knowledge of Japanese;
the shooters on the DC for example, like Zero Gunner 2 or Border Down.
The Sega made Puyo Puyo Fever for the DC has a full English option.
PLenty more games where no knowledge of Japanese is needed. Then there
are other games that you can get familiar with with a FAQ and can then
play quite well with no knowledge of Japanese (Tokyo Bus Guide springs
to mind). Then of course there's the UK imports that play in English.
Did you import Transmetals right when it came out? Cuz it came out domestically.
