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 T
aisen 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.
