What are your gaming translation white whales? Games you want to see translated but feel it'll never happen?

The Dragon Ball Z demo for the PC-FX that never got released. It was basically a high quality FMV short where it reacted to what controller you pushed which was the rage back then, especially on the Sega CD. You will not find this anywhere now unless you were there in person at the time, or a single screenshot from a gaming magazine(Think it was EGM from 94-ish)

Theres a Puyo Puyo rpg-like game the youtuber whoisthisgit showed once, theres no fan translation for it

Didn't we already got this game in English for the Switch as Seven Pirates H ?

For me it would be Sigma Harmonics for the DS, Text in this game is displayed vertically making a fan translation to it, impossible.

I love the music of this game.

deSPIRIA for the Dreamcast - what a fascinating premise and gorgeous and spooky art style. Would really love to play through this someday.

I have good news for you a fan translation for this game is already in the works.

There were 2 white whales for the PS2 that i've wanted translated for the longest time.
One happened in 2020, with Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations.
This is the other that still needs to happen:

That game has translation project

LET'SGOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Just a few I can think of:
-The Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden trilogy on Super Famicom. There are patches but they're incomplete.
-Godzilla Kaiju Daikessen. Yeah another fighting game, but I'm surprised it was never done.
-The Romancing Saga Trilogy. I believe the first game was finished. Just need the rest.

The romancing saga games have been translated for a while now officially, there's even a pc version of 2 and 3, and 1 had the remake, i've heard 2's remake is more different.

I have a lot I want to see translated one day, but the one I think has the least chance of ever being given any attention is Yaku: Yuujou Dangi.

It's a horror visual novel with an arstyle that I've been obsessing over for years, it reminds me of Hideshi Hino...
Also this thread has a lot of cool looking games I've never seen before, maybe we'll get out white whales one day all of us.

That one's been on my list too, that artstyle is really intriguing, always wanted to play it, hopefully it's exoticness will make someone take interest in translating it someday.

Thought I'd add a bit more to this thread since my list is very long haha, But I'd love to see the Kamaitachi no Yoru series translated someday (I really hope that's a little closer to happening since x3 got a pc port released on steam recently) and Sengoku Turb for the dreamcast! Odd little game with a super barebones 3d artstyle that I adore, this one is fun.

I can't find anything on it but it whouldn't surprise me

Still, I would like to see the entirety of the original games translated. Maybe even port the remaster text to them.

I mean that's fine but the pc and newer consoles versions are literally the same games with better resolution for modern systems.

As for more white whales, i think someone mentioned it but i'd also like to see the el dorado gate games for the dreamcast get translated, but those are difficult.

Tengai makyou namida as well.
