Funky Horror Band would be nice, though I have the feeling the opening is the best thing about it.

GOODLY GOOD TASTE IN GAMING!

Best Gundam game. Luckily it's easy to play with no knowledge of Japanese anyway as long as you know all the Gundam stories you're good. Only bad thing is the load times.

>>6483921
amen but i hope that anon who said he'd work on it delivers. desu this was a thread to bait out updates from him

Go give DDSTranslation a big fat THANK YOU for Goemon 2-3

The Yarudora series

Pretty sure we're gonna get this one soon, Devil Summoner on the Saturn

>>6483654
ost is dope as fuck

>>6484810
I know isnt it? Blade Arts, another game that needs a translation has a cool ost too

And I mean an OFFICIAL translation.

How the fuck has no one translated Tokimeki Memorial in all this time?

>>6483815
It sucks

>>6483654
While we're at it, this game also deserves a Dark Side of the Ring episode.

>>6486003
Think you meant to respond to >>6484728

>>6484234
Man I really WANT to see the Langrisser games get translated and an official release on some modern platform would be great but I just can't abide that remake.

>>6486038
How come this was not translated yet?

>>6486038
what's the best game in this series?

I'd love to see more license games get translated like Hunter x Hunter and Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

>>6483654
>>6483921
And Blade Arts!

Starting to question whether Brightis is really going to be a thing.

>>6483994
Part of me wonders of they kept the sim part in, that it would probably gather more attention and the game wouldn't have been as forgotten as it is now, maybe the idea of single player content in fighting games would have spread more, who knows

>>6486202
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns

Why is /vr/ suddenly obsessed with this game? Because it looks like Darksouls?

>>6485931
>official ”translation” aka murrican meme localization
No thanks

Azure Dreams could use a voice acting restoration. It's not terribly hard to play it in JP if you're familiar with the game though.

The localized port is the most horrendous port I’ve ever seen outside of Sonic GBA.

Segagaga

I'll just leave this here

I always wanted to play that Saturn Lunar (Magical School, I think?) since I enjoyed the PS games so much.
No idea if it's even good.

>>6488412

It's a text adventure, how bad can it be

>>6483654
Kinda cheating because it already has a "translation" but the Japanese version of mechwarrior 1 has a better style to me.

>>6488601
What's this one about?

>>6488406
Racing Lagoon gets a plus one vote from me.

But whoever decides to tackle it better know how to translate informal Japanese for real, none of that cleanedup machine translations bullsht.

>>6488406
>>6489083
>Racing Lagoon
I don't understand how this game hasn't been translated yet

>>6488601
Can anyone confirm if anything was actually censored in the PS1 version but not the Saturn as is commonly repeated? I've only played the Saturn version and I know the soundtrack and sound effects are different.

>>6483654

>>6488406
>London Seirei Tanteidan

Looks awesome. Is it fun? Looks a little like Lunar or Grandia which I like but which are a little dull with regards to character progression and actual gameplay.

>>6487825
We had a 400 reply thread a few weeks ago and it was the best in ages. Also yes looks great, proto demon souls. Or a darker zelder

>>6488406
>Kings Field 3
Confused. Do you mean JP 1?

Why don't you study Japanese instead
Most of those are likely not hard to read at all.

>>6490047
.t doesn't speak Japanese

>>6490214
You're right I don't speak it but I can read it at least. For example out of these >>6488406 I played Boku no Natsuyasumi, Aconcagua and Giftpia, all of which were easy to read and also pretty boring. Aconcagua specifically is a remarkably and atrociously bad adventure game with a shitty story. Giftpia is okay but not better than the company's other games.
Also surprised the list didn't include Mizzurna Falls, another terrible game with a generic story that reached meme status by non-Japanese readers

>>6490219
To be fair, it really depends. I can read Japanese okay enough for manga and most video games, but VNs or games like>>6483769 that use a lot of outdated kanji are really fucking hard.

That said learning Japanese is more productive than whining about what games 'NEED' to be translated by other people for free. I like these threads though, because it points me to interesting games I can play.

>learning Japanese is more productive than whining about what games 'NEED' to be translated by other people for free
Zero whining in this thread except from you.

>>6490020
You got a link to that thread, mate? Can't find it in the Archive

>>6490235
And you!

Just an image unfortunately.

The only game as of now that I'd like a translation of is Racing Lagoon.

>>6486231
It won't. Fan translation projects for videogames almost never suceed because there is always some unforseen technical difficulty that the translators don't know their way around because they're not professional software engineers.

PSX version

>>6489743
I played through it a couple months ago. While not terrible, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for the combat. The dungeons are pretty sparse and the combat is pretty run of the mill. There was one dungeon that was just a train tunnel that you ran right for 14 panels and then ran back out left for another 14. Only the run out had enemies though.

That said, the game is pretty short and oozes charm. It’s broken up into chapters, but you can explore almost the whole world map from the beginning. My Japanese is pretty shit, so I’m sure I missed out on some of the side quests and characterization, but I still thought the cast and world were great. It’s definitely worth checking out if you ever get the chance.

>>6484256
I'm still mad over what that cuck Kurt did.

Dragon Slayer MD?

>>6490595
Is there big differences between the original PSX version and the PC re-release?

>>6483654
Day of the Idea

>>6490602
Great, thanks. I'll definitely try it out, then, I was just in the mood for an interesting and relatively short RPG. That's also why I liked eg Rhapsody, it's cute and fun but I wouldn't want to play it for thirty hours.

A translation patch came out for Bahamut Senki (Genesis) today.
No idea if it's a good game, but the cover art looks nice.

>>6490805
>a member of King Crimson
>2 dudes who worked on Serial Experiments Lain

What the fuck is this game!? Too bad it's just an RPG. Even worse it's on Saturn which is impossible to emulate. Oh well, I'll just try to forget about this.

>>6490239
Revel in the glory. >>/vr/thread/S6386890#p6429854

>>6488810
I think someone is working on a translation for this right now on a Saturn forum.

>>6484803
Are we really?
Soul Hackers got one so I guess anything is possible.

I really wish this caught anyone's interest.

>>6493824
4th Apocalypse is cursed.
Working Designs tried in the 90s (Saturn), again in the 2010s (PSP) as GaijinWorks, there have been several fan projects that never went anywhere...

Most of these jrpgs I'd rather watch a longplay than play it myself

>>6493824
I need a quick rundown

>>6494016

>>6494016
It's a sequel to a JRPG series that's basically a parody of a 19th century foreigner's perception of Japan. Now take that same attitude and apply it to a Japanese person's perception of America.

>>6493824
I haven't tried it yet, hadn't even seen the manual. Is it a better cover than the actual cover? What do you think? I'm fond of the rusty 3D crosses and blurred crows, blood red sky.

>>6485931
>fan translation comes out

ResetEra, never change.
Still butthurt about the "yellow devils", no "gregory wright", and your refused applications to "take over the project under NeoGAF's direction"?

>>6493993
Are you into cuckolding?

>>6489231
Japanese Wikipedia says Saturn has extra gore, and both PS1/Saturn are somewhat toned down from PC Engine.

>>6493824
It did. Then the Goemon situation happened and affected multiple projects from this series, this included. If someone wants to translate it, I can extract the text data.
There's a forth project for TM:IV that's like 10% done on some Saturn community but it's infected by the same HG101 plant handling Magical School Lunar, and bragging about censoring it, because Tom (then the target of an ongoing witchhunt) did a superior translation patch for a Game Gear version of the same game. If such an asshole who loves to tear down his peers to virtue signal is there, it's not a very viable project...

>>6494090
This looks funny. Would I be able jump right into it without playing the prequels? I can't figure out Saturn emulation for the life of me and there's a PSP version of this one.

>>6490025
He means pilot style I believe which has also been translated

>>6488586

This. There's a weird "fictional" quality to Segagaga, like it's from a mockumentary about the downfall of Sega instead of a real game that actually exists, and it deserves a translation for that reason alone.

>>6489107
I ask the same, Thor

>>6489719
>Sequel of Rhapsody
My African American buddy

>>6494746
Found an answer for those interested.
This can absolutely be played as a first entry in the series and it is apparently suited to RPG first-timers as well.

Also the PSP even has the first 2 Tengai Makyou games on it! Is PSP the best console of all time? I think yes.
I hope they're still interesting even if I don't know much Japanese history.

>>6494465
Guess I'm going to have to play the PS version to see what exactly got toned down for it.
