Wishlist of games you wish got translated

[regnor]

I'm still hoping for more of Koei's strategy games to be translated.

Digital Monster Ver. S (1998) Sega Saturn

One Piece: Dragon Dream! (2005) GBA

Jump Super Stars (2005) NDS

I loved Princess Maker 2, and wish that more than one game in the series had been translated into English.

One of the only Japan-only Xbox games and it looks great.

Verne World always seemed like a fun and different RPG for the SNES. I haven't seen many people talk about it online.

 

[KoolFiller]

Policenauts for PC98

 

[zusurri]

Wagyan Land 3 for NES/Famicom and at least one for SNES; Ninja Cop Saizou; Shin-chan and Keroro games

 

[LastValsion]

The entirety of the Super Robot Wars Z series

 

[Ppapeno7135]

Surging Aura for the Mega Drive, and the Sega CD Shadowrun game.

After playing project X zone, i wanted to see where does neneko come from. There is an anime but it sucks and i suspect that it doesn't even scratch the surface of Yumeria as a whole. So yeah, this will never get a translation. Never ever.

For PC-88/98 games, it’s usually enough to translate just the interface to make them playable for people who actually want to play. That’s because there is the Textractor hook and AI translators (ChatGPT, DeepSeek, you name it). With those, you can probably enjoy the story even better than with an in-game translation, since there’s no byte limit on the translated text. When translators have to fit within strict byte limits, they often end up crippling the original meaning of the Japanese lines.

Same can be said about windows (non-DOS) games.

Terra Phantastica Sega Saturn

There's a translation patch in the works for this one, actually! Progress has been posted here: https://segaxtreme.net/threads/lets-localize-terra-phantastica.25272/

Yes, I saw that back in 2022, just waiting for the day it gets fully translated :)

I've been hopeful for a re-translation of Pokemon Gold and Silver. This is a series that alters names and terminology for just about *everything*. From towns, items, people, the critters and creatures...

BUSIN 0: Wizardry Alternative NEO

However... even more than that, I think more retranslation projects would be nice. Obvious choice is the first two Lunar games, but there are others that slip my mind. Final Fantasy VIII desperately needs one. Xenogears has that Perfect Works project in the works.

For me it was Ace Combat 3 and Princess Crown; while those had html-based translations for ages, for the longest time there really didn't seem to be any actual patches for the games.

Breath of Fire 6 is another one I know for a fact I will never seer translated, since it's a mobile game from before the gacha boom that didn't do very well and everyone hates. Likewise, it would be nice to get a better retranslation for breath of fire 2 - the ryusui one takes way too many liberties with the script for my liking. At times it felt more like some kind of fandub script than an actual translation.

Didn't Ace Combat 3 recently have a translation done for it? I can remember it getting uploaded to the repo, I believe, last year or the beginning of the year

Yeah, but games did. Hence "for the longest time".

So it's no longer a whale if it's been translated. The white whales are the ones we are waiting for most :)

 

[blossom357]

Yes, and that post mentioned Breath of Fire 6 in the next paragraph as their current white whale. This exchange is silly.

I've been dying to see Monster Hunter Portable 3rd finished. The current translation is fully beatable but after spending 500+ hours across two saves and grinding out all the quest, it just made me what to hear and experience everything. Since my PSP's memory card got corrupted, I've been wanting to play through again, but I feel like I'm just going to get bored again after seeing everything in English.

also would be nice to know what the palico armour actually did lol

Sorcerian for Sega Genesis, a very complete and easy to emulate version.
Only the main menu was translated and there has been nothing for 5 years ago.

It's a shame because the game has quite a bit of content and an impressive soundtrack.

The Genesis version features all original scenarios, btw, so it's not just a port. The scenarios were written by people who worked on the Phantasy Star games mostly. Would love to see it translated.
