Japanese DS and Wii Games

Hey guys, I'm going to Japan next week for a little vacation and this presents me with the perfect opportunity to pick up some games without the nasty importing costs. I have a DS and a Japanese Wii, so what should I be looking to pick up?

Ouendan 2 is the only game I can think of at the moment, but are their any other DS games that are language friendly and are must haves? I just purchased my Wii, so I am not really sure what to look for in that regard, so any ideas would be great.

There was this thing I bought the other day in Yamada Denki, something like Smash Brawl, or Brothers Three Smash, or X Brawl... Geez I can't remember the name of it but I am really enjoying playing it.

Edit: Just remembered, It was No More Heroes. I am fucking loving that game (and Brawl).

Edit x2: Also try to find yourself a Mandrake while your here. Its a shop that deals in Video Games/Manga/DVD's/Extensive Adult Materials (In the middle of the store next to the children's toys none the less). That's the place to grab Saturns/Dreamcasts/Super Famicoms and games for nothing. I got Mother 2 and Final Fantasy VI for the Famicom there for 400 yen each.

Edit x3 Combo: Also grab FFIV for the DS while you are here. I bought it for the wife and she is absolutely loving it.

And I'm still jealous.

Did I mention they were Brand New in Box? (Also found FFV BNIB and Ogre Battle/Tactics 64 BNIB)

Okay I'm finished, that was just my one big find of my lifetime so I like to verbally cherish it.

Yes, you did...

And I still say congratulations...

Jump Ultimate Stars is worth grabbing, its basically Smash Brothers on the DS. Tons of unlockable characters and stages, plus online as well. All moonspeak though, so you'll need a guide.

Ouendan 2, definately worth it.

I'd just wait for the translated version of Brawl though, rather than pick it up while you're over there. It has a option to view everything in English, but you'll miss out on Snake's codec calls if you do.

Well he has a Japanese Wii (and appears to be from South Korea) and with the Wii region-locked a US copy of SSB:B won't do him any good.

I recommend Super Mario Galaxy and second/triple the nominations of SSB:B, No More Heroes and Ouendan 2.

Hold on there soldier, is there is an English option in it? Do you have any info because as much as I love the Japanese menus, I would enjoy my native language a bit more. I haven't found any English option anywhere.
