Wishlist of games you wish got translated

[Toppis]

good choices that the legend of heroes ii is my most wanted english translation

 

[Gromoff]

In no particular order, here are a few that I'd really like to see and why:

• Madou Monogatari (Saturn)
  I like both Puyo and the Saturn quite a bit and therefore want to play this one.
  
  
• Dragon Quest IV (PS1)
  Translation work is technically already done thanks to the English mobile version, which was a port of the DS version which was a port of this PS1 version.
  
  
• Click Medic (PS1)
  This is the only Game Freak game to not be available in English that requires reading to fully enjoy. I recently went on a non-Pokémon GF game marathon but had to skip this one due to the language barrier.
  
  
• Time Twist (FDS)
  I want this one mainly for the novelty of it. I won't spoil it here, but if you know, you know.
  
  
• Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut (SFC)
  Seeing as how the original Famicom release got two separate fan translations a little while back, I'd like to now see what this DX version has to offer.

Thoughts?

So I know I'm extremely late on this, but one of these got fulfilled a few months back when Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut got translated! Only four left!

Probably Musou Orochi Z, a compilation of Warriors Orochi 1 and 2, with some added content and slight tweaks. It's the definitive way to experience the two games imo, but I guess with the availability of the English versions of 1 and 2, it's not really a big deal.

That or I could just list the countless Super Robot Wars games.

 

[Cureless]

That game being completely translated would be so damn awesome. Good choice!

 

[Toppis]

this has a translation project

 

[memphiskite]

I only have Queen's Gate: Spiral Chaos on the mind.

 

[A4lmond]

the Angelique games, I know there's an unfinished english patch somewhere but I've read it's VERY unfinished and the site looks abandoned , also the PSP/PS2 versions of Princess Maker 5, but that one seems more unlikely since the game already has an official translation for PC

 

[theshiningpath]

After going through the Infinity series, I definitely wish this was translated as well. It's considered a spin-off, but Uchikoshi is still the writer so it's probably got all the stuff he's known for.

There are still some SNES and PS1 rpgs that i wish got translated:

PS1:

SNES:
This one i WISH someday got fully translated...

Some of you might say: "If they were translated no one would play because people don't have patience for rpgs anymore"
And i would answer...
"WRONG"
PEOPLE would grab any old rpg(except maybe Majin Tensei 1, 2 is great) because i've been getting into the genre, and honestly it's fun, just magical old good fun.

Here's my English translation patch wishlist. Might make another one in the future:

64 de Hakken!! Tamagotchi: Minna de Tamagotchi World (N64): Before there was Mario Party, Tamagotchi had its party outing on the Nintendo 64. Mikachu and Professor Banzo do their usual things.

Akazukin Chacha (SFC): An RPG starring a character who apparently inspired Bulleta/B.B. Hood from Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire/Darkstalkers 3: Jedah's Damnation.

Chibi Maruko-chan: Mazae! Minami no Island (SFC): Among Konami's licensed outings, this game supports 4 players and features a few different mini games.

Chou Makai Taisen! Dorabocchan (SFC): I know, it kinda feels like cheating listing a game that already got localized as The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang. The thing? That localization made the enemies more tankier than they originally were (and thus, making all speedruns of this game use the Japanese version), removed the option to restart an area at full health, among other changes.

Doraemon: Nobita to Yousei no Kuni (SFC): This is where my Fujiko F. Fujio "fanboy"-ism starts to kick in. For reference, only the 4th SFC Doraemon game received an English patch back in the day thanks to being one of the very few SNES games to have practically all of its graphics data uncompressed, along with Super Mario All-Stars and Captain Commando, to my knowledge.

Doraemon 2: Nobita no Toys Land Daibouken (SFC): The sequel that seems to be more aggravating to speedrun. You get to play as the other characters earlier, and apparently they were going to have their own life icons?

Doraemon 3: Nobita to Toki no Hougyoku (SFC): Made by probably the same company as the SFC Pokonyan game, this game departs from the others in terms of gameplay and an art style that to me contrasts with the character designs.

Doraemon Wii: Himitsu Doguou Ketteisen (Wii): A party game that used to let you easily garner YouTube views back in the day. Some of the mini games like the one where you must mimic the Mini-Dora's poses last way too long, and the requirements for making 2 vs. 2 Mini Games seem to be based on the relative amount of points between players.

Down the World: Mervil's Ambition (SFC): Back in 2012, I decided to listen to the SPC's of this game's soundtrack for some reason, and I enjoyed it for the most part.

Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! (SFC): What once was going to be a port of Fighter's History Dynamite (I refuse to call it by its European title, thanks MAME!) turned out to be a spinoff that focuses on the goofy titular shoto. Take out a bunch of characters, update Karnov's appearance, add Zazie, Yungmie and even Atomic Runner Chelnov.

Fushigi no Yume no Alice (PCE): I really wanted to like this game. A platformer where you play as a little girl? I'm sold! Almost... except the physics are terrible! Alice slides around like a bar of soap, the screen only scrolls when you're close to the corner of the screen, and bouncing off enemies requires you to press and hold the jump button with near perfect timing.

Gokinjou Boukentai (SFC): An RPG where you play as a female preschooler who humorously rams into walls. The battle system is one of those that's reminiscent of Dragon Quest.

Groove Adventure Rave: Hikari to Yami no Daikessen 1 & 2 (GBA): A licensed fighter with platforming elements, you deliver the finishing blow and mash as hard as you can. Also, Ellie is best girl. I also love the ending theme (?) that I can't figure out how to legitimately play in the game.

GS Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body (SFC): This platformer from Natsume has quite a following, doesn't it? There's actually a translation of the script up on Data Crystal IIRC, but AFAIK it hasn't been implemented into a patch yet.

Hamster Paradise Advanchu & Pure Heart (GBA): Listed them here as more of a joke, though, these two Pet Simulation games have you raising hamsters. I did like a few of the music tracks in the games.

Jungle Wars 2: Kodai Mahou Atimos no Nazo (SFC): A sequel to a Gameboy RPG.

Kingyo Chuuihou!: Tobidase Game Gakuen (SFC): A 3-player party game starring the ever so loving Wapiko. One of my favorite mini games is the RPG one. Taunts can be cancelled, too.

Kishin Douji Zneki: Denei Raibu (SFC): A game within the Zenki series that alternates between platforming with chibi versions of the characters and "epic" anime boss battles that falter in the gameplay department.

Magical Taruruto-kun: Fantastic World (FC): After the Mega Drive game (the best one in the series IMO) received a translation patch, I would like to see this game receive one too.

Magical Taruruto-kun 2: Mahou Daibouken (FC): Now you can play as Honmaru, as well as Mimora the witch! Man, just look at her face on the cover...

Magical Taruruto-kun (GG): Shmuppin'!

Mahoujin Guruguru 1 & 2 (SFC): A parody of the RPG genre, it's also fitting that the series spawns its own RPGs.

Majokko Daisakusen: Little Witching Mischiefs (PS1): Perhaps one of the funniest video game re-brands I have ever seen. The Unholy War was reworked into a Magical Girl crossover featuring franchises produced by Toei Animation.

Majokko Cream-chan no Gokko Series 1: Wannyan Idol Gakuen & 2: Kisekae Angel (GBA): A series starring a magical girl named Cream who's friends with Whip and is rivals with Meringue. May also appear in the Kawaii Pet Game Gallery series. The character designs made me curious about the series.

Makeruna! Makendou 2: Kimero! Youkai Souridaijin (SFC, PS1): A fighting game sequel to a poorly localized platformer followed by an RPG on the PC-FX, this game features Madonna de Swan, who I featured in my Street Fighter II ROM Hack. Admittedly I slept on this game for far too long, probably because of the SFC version's unusual Versus Mode Menu. The PS1 version was released on the PS3's Playstation Store.

Pokonyan!: Henpokorin Adventure (SFC): One of the easiest platformers I ever played, as far as Any% goes.

Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary and 20th Anniversary (Wii): While the DS versions of these games have English patches, the Wii versions feature a Double Play mode where 2 players share a board with each other, a feature that returns to Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S, a re-release of a rehash of a problematic crossover.

Rushing Beat Ran: Fukusei Toshi (SFC): Here's hoping for a translation that's faithful to the original Japanese script when it was localized as Brawl Brothers. The first Rushing Beat localized as Rival Turf received an English patch.

Rushing Beat Shura (SFC): Same deal with the above, the liberties taken here seem to be even more extreme. It's likely that crtical plot points were changed in The Peace Keepers. There's probably a Korean patch.

SD Hiryu no Ken (SFC): Min Min is best girl.

Shounen Ashibe: Goma-chan no Yuuenchi Daibouken (SFC): In my opnion, this licensed game is a far superior version of Flicky, a game I disliked as a kid. Play as the seal Goma-chan and avoid little boys and girls who hant the hug the living stuff out of you.

Shounen Ashibe: Yuuenchi Panic (GB): One of the weridest RPG's I ever played. Yes, an RPG that uses a pasword system. The titular eggplant boy himself is tasked with travelling to 5 different worlds at the start. And yes, you can call Goma-chan for help... I think.

Sugoi Hebereke (SFC): I always found 4-player Area fighter pretty charming. I wish it didn't have so much slowdown, though. It's certainly one of the most unexpected games to be added to Nintendo Switch Online along with Wrecking Crew '98, which received an English patch several years earlier.

Super Chinese Fighter (SFC): Added here along with SD Hiryuu no Ken.

Super Nazo Puyo: Rulue no Roux (SFC): A Mission Puyo Puyo game that adds Rulue to the mix. I enjoyed listening to the soundtrack back in the day.

Super Nazo Puyo Tsuu: Rulue no Tetsuwan Hanjouki (SFC): Ditto the 2nd sentence above.

Surging Aura (SMD): For over 12 years, Red Comet was working on a translation patch for this RPG.

Tsuppari Oozumou: Risshinshusse Hen (SFC): I made a game whose gameplay completely rips off this game. This sequel never got relelased on Virtual Console or Nintendo Switch Online, as far as I'm aware. You can unlock female sumo wrestlers who wear a tire for a belt with a button code. There's a sequence of actions you can do to take your opponent's clothes off, female characters included. Anyways, the music is goofy sumo wrestling fun that fits the game perfectly.

Wagamama Fairy Mirumo de Pon!: Taisen Mahou-dama (GBA): A Taisen Puzzle-dama/Crazy Cross game themed after the Mirumo series.

Youkai Buster: Ruka no Daibouken (SFC): Japan's adaptation of The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates, you play as a girl who uses some sort of demon head for a vacuum.

As well as my picks here

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

Digan no Maseki I love the art and music for this game. The plot seems unique even today. The gameplay sounds interesting and fairly deep though I don't even know what the combat is like (I think it plays more like an early Wrpg which is more interesting to me than like a typical Final...

Here is my obligatory niche Japanese visual novel entry lmao
Baroque syndrome for the ps1 was a complementary story to the game Baroque, a game where some blonde douchebag sends you down a tower to kill god like most jrpgs, and god I wish I could play it man, there are some translation scripts that are amazing but i just wish you could play the game in full in English, but sadly visual novels have gatta be the hardest things to translate lmfao

This looks interesting i wanna try this game

 

[artificialrose]

Machi PS1/Saturn which is a visual novel with live action photos which 428 Shibuya Scramble is a spiritual successor to.

I’ve wanted to play it for years and I’ve heard that it’s difference of prose between each route (alongside each route being written by a different writer iirc?) will pretty much stop it from ever getting a fan translation patch.

It’s a good reason for me to get back to learning Japanese when I’m given an opportunity though so I can’t complain.

[Giggling Tilly]

When it comes to Japanese-only releases, I'm pretty casual. I want to be able to play the rest of those popular series without wasting too much time with a dictionary. I want Ryu Ga Gotoku: Kenzan. I want those old Atelier games. I want the rest of Sakura Taisen. I also want games based on popular anime and TV shows, like Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Gundam... That kind of stuff

The entire Tengai Makyou/Far East of Eden series.
