How many Kanji's, (Japanese words ) should i learn if i want comfortably play Japanese import games or non English translated games.

[HollyGamer]

I am starting to learn Japanese this month, hopping to get schoolarship in Japan and also i want to enjoy games like Super Robot Taisen games other imported games, so i need some advice for people who already familiar with Kanji, or Japanese people on VG chartz.

Some people say I need 1000 more or less, but   for now i just want focusing on Kanjis word that essential for playing games, or that always have on games like Super Robot Wars Games. So how many words should i learn or remember ?

Thanks
