I knew about those games, but never knew they were by a Japanese developer.

And yet both Gundam and Macross anime have been released outside Japan, in their original forms with English subtitles.

Maybe, but the games are still confusing when you can't understand any of the mission briefings or any of the in-mission orders. Are you supposed to be attacking those large ships, or protecting them? Where am I supposed to go in the city? Am I supposed to pick something up and take it somewhere? Why did I just fail the mission?
