Yes, you can. Depends on the system though, some are region locked, some are not. PS3 games are region locked, you could not play a Japanese game on a US console. PS Vita games are not region locked, you could use a Japanese PS Vita Game Card on a US PS Vita but there might be some incompatibility when it comes to online functions.

How do you modify a n64 to play Japanese?

Japanese N64 games are different than North American games, the cartridge design at the bottom of the game is different between the two, so you need a Japanese N64 to play Japanese games. The only modification I would suggest is taking a Japanese game reader and replacing it with your existing one. But if you can find a Japanese N64 than just stick with that. .j.
