cooking mama is a terrible example considering it sells way better in europe and america than it does in Japan. Cooking Mama on Wii sold a whopping 33k while the one on DS sold 60k. In America the Wii version has sold 117k and is still selling 5k a week while it is dead in Japan. Cooking Mama was on the European sales charts for quite a while (doesn't show numbers, but it gives you an idea). The DS version has sold 338k in America.

Nice job.

Then pick any myriad of popular sim/puzzle games that sell in Japan and don't sell at all in NA or the EU. While Cooking Mama may have been a poor choice, the point is still valid.

Sure, Nintendodogs and Brain Training. Last time we got some officiel numbers Nintendodogs was at 5 millions in Europe, and I think Brain Age was around 2 millions. Their is a lot of gamers that plays those games. Their is also a lot of games that never get released in Europe or USA.
