Western Games with Japanese localization

[PhantomTohsaka]

As the title suggests,it's Western games with Japanese localization, one of those games being Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube where the game is translated into Japanese while the English voice acting is in the game. Which other western games has this?

All video games released to JPN? Unless your talking about RE4 or Metal Wolf Chaos?

Hmm? I'm not sure how these count as western games.

Anyway. Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX, or Star Fox Adventures would be more prominent Gamecube games where the voice acting is in English.

RE is a japanese game, and IINM, even the first game was using english VA because the concept is just like that.

So you mean Japanese games in the early 2000's that were made to appeal to the western audiences?

As otogirisou said, Resident Evil 4 is a japanese game, it's not western. Where did you get that info?

Any Resident Evil game has this, and also Silent Hill but the last one, Dino Crisis, Rule of Rose, Haunting Ground, Kuon, etc. Mostly horror games I have to say, but all of them are japanese games.

But back to the topic, there are dozens western titles with japanese voice acting: The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Hellblade, Control, Life is Strange, Horizon, Mass Effect and The Last of Us, to mention some.

...Games that successfully psyopped people into getting their country of origin wrong would be a fun category.

I have a Japanese copy of Fable II if that's anything :-)

Indeed. It's kind of funny how people stablishes a game is from a specific region only by their voice acting. That's kind of an american thinking, where they want to have absolute everything dubbed to their language first, so any game from an american developer would have english dub regardless if the game's look is very japanese.

EDIT: That fable deserves a commercial :D

Fallout 3 has a full Japanese dub(on PS3 I remember, not PC), Skyrim and Doom 3 BFG have one too.

Resident Evil 4 was produced by Capcom's internal Production Studio 4 which is located in Osaka, Japan. That's a Japanese game with an English voice track, not a Western game localized into Japanese.

Resident Evil is a bit of an odd duck either way. Within the game's setting, it's extraordinarily unlikely most of the characters would speak a significant amount of Japanese.

Borderlands.

Most GTA has a Japanese version with lots of wild changes compared to it's original one.

 

[Mopeybloke]

The international versions of Final Fantasy X and XII have the English voice acting. Do those count?

Undertale & Deltarune had a whole studio (8-4) translating them to japanese, as well as making/publishing the console ports.

Did you mean JP games with EN dubbing? cuz RE4 is a Japanese game. Sin & Punishment on N64 and Rising Zan on PSX are two Faux Western games I quite like. Metal Wolf Chaos is also a fun classic.

If ur looking for JP localised games, I know the Halo franchise have gotten proper dubs. The JP ver of CE also had some sweet box art.

 

[Mopeybloke]

Metal Wolf Chaos is also a fun classic.

The most American game ever.

Dead rising 1 is a Japanese game but the original language was English, then got redubbed in Japanese iirc.

Borderlands.

Trevor wears two pants in Japanese, what a gentleman.
