Plays like Cybernator with RPG elements. It's a phenomenal game that pushes the hardware. There's a good fan made translation for it too.

The Ganbare Goemon games are all great and only the 1st was released in the US as mystical ninja.

They are massive games for platformers especially the 3rd and 4th ones. No English translations are complete but they are decently playable without them.

Rejoice (Japan Art Media): Top down action RPG, battles fought in real time and you can jump around. You play as a memeber of a group of thieves who gets washed away and lost from your village in a flood and has to find his way back. Some evil enemy mastermind dickery happens too of course.

Rendering Ranger (Rainbow Arts): For some reason this game by a German studio only came out in Japan. It's legitimately rare, not many copies floating about. It's by Manfred Trenz so it's basically an overly difficult Turrican/Rtype hybrid that's more technically impressive than it is actually playable.

Live a Live: (Square): We all know this one, JRPG but you play through different scenarios that all have their own unique story and characters.
Prehistoric era with dinosaurs and shit, Bakumatsu/Feudal Japan scenario
Martial Arts chapter featuring ninjas
Wild West chapter, play as a dude on the run from a bounty hunter
Present Day where you enter a tournament to fight a bunch of dudes
Future chapter where the government are being dicks and you fight a demon god using a mech
Scifi Chapter where you can be a Robot and investigate a ship where people are mysteriously dying
Medieval chapter unlocked later, rescue princess etc
Last chapter is unlocked after the medieval chapter is finished. There are 4 different ways this chapter will go depending who you choose and other choices you make during the game.

Super Saiya Densetsu, it was a remake of the first 2 Famicom DBZ games. There was a 3rd and 4th game only on Famicom, against Cooler and the Androids/imperfect Cell, and the 4th one had an original story that would later be adapted into anime (the Destroy All Saiyans OVAs)

If you learn Japanese, it literally opens the floodgates for hundreds and hundreds of games never released in the west, the SNES and PS1 alone would each have like another 100 games worth playing. Not to mention how many games were on the Sega Saturn and Sega CD. There's also the MSX and the PC Engine. It's actually ridiculous how many games we missed out on.
Not only that but the Japanese games are uncensored and usually don't have the retarded arcade difficulty because game rentals aren't allowed there.

You'll wait for English translations for hundreds of games? It would take less time to learn Japanese than to wait for all that.
It literally only takes about a year and a half to two years with risky study, it only took me about 3 months to pass Level N5 on the JLPT and I only do a couple of hours of Japanese study each day.

I don't think we can even talk about knowing most console catalogues here in the west, list of best games feel completely crippled, always repeating the same titles because there wasn't too much else we could play.
But being able to discover new games after decades is also pretty cool though. And new translations make me feel like we are still having new releases.

Japanese isn't even hard. The grammar is trivial and once you learn a few kanji learning the rest isn't a big deal.

The hardest part of learning any language is motivation, and with Japanese you have the hundreds/thousands of untranslated games waiting for you as motivation.

Japanese is really not as hard as people make it out to be, yes it's one of the hardest languages to learn for native English speakers, but that's in comparison to languages like French which could be learnt in a few months.

It definitely doesn't take only 2 years but yeah I know what you mean, I was able to play through Crono Trigger with about 2 years of nochalant studying. I still think learning a language is way out of most people's scope specially middle aged men with families and full-time jobs.

Lot of those Super Robot Wars games were released for the SFC.
Most of them got PSX ports and later remakes even. One of them is completely translated (The 3rd one). And there are a few partials.

>You'll still be far from reading at a comfortable speed though.
Depends. If you spend most of your practice time reading, you should be able to read normal books and games at a reasonable pace (not native level obviously, but good enough for it not to feel painfully slow) after 1.5 years. Again, it all depends on how much time you put into it and how you use that time.

Yeah SRW series is classic. The SFC ones are really good.
Banpresto also released a shit ton of games using many of the SRW franchises as well as others like Kamen Rider on the Battle series, I lost count on how many of these were released, but there's a lot of action games, cabal-likes, racers, even pinball.

[Anonymous No.4777651]

I agree with you. Constant and full monolingual Japanese immersion is the ideology behind AJATT. You won't be able to spend most of your time immersing though, you have a job, friends and family to attend to and even then reading Japanese is fucking hard work, your brain will eventually get tired and slip back into your native tongue. You act like reading Japanese novels in 2 years is totally easy and effortless as a humble form of bragging.

Actually I don't think that laziness is the cause of most people's problems. Most Japanese students I know are stuck with the intermediate topics not the beginner skills like learning jouyou kanji or reading Pokemon.

[Anonymous No.4777674]

>you can read Japanese novels in 1.5 years
You know that's bullshit, the person you're trying to convince knows that's bullshit, everyone who's not completely clueless about Japanese knows that's bullshit, the very beginners you're supposedly trying to help will know that's bullshit, what's the point of outright lying like that on the internet?

>>4777651
If your goal is to be reading novels in two years, total immersion isn't necessary. A few hours a day should be sufficient as long as you're consistent with it. Most of the "studying" is just things you'd probably be doing anyway, like playing games and reading books.

The other extreme is acting like "japanese is totally easy, bro" and that if you don't learn it by reading a couple hours a day in a year you must be a stupid weeb. Both are equally harmful mentalities.

[Anonymous No.4777868]

>>4777831
No one's claiming that. My claim was and still is that 1.5 years is a reasonable amount of time to be reading typical native materials with minimal dictionary assistance if you commit and go hard on it. If you half-ass your studies, obviously it's going to take longer than that. If you go full autism with total immersion and such, you can potentially do it in less than that.

I already said it, but I'll say it again: learning Japanese is easy. You just have to be willing to put in the time.

[Anonymous No.4777885]

>>4777868
I'l second this. I am two years in and am at a level I can read stuff at a bearable pace while checking the dictionary pretty often. Someone who studied more diligently and took less drugs than I do would learn faster.

I read my first LN in Japanese when I was about 4 months deep. It was a slow, shitty process, and there was a lot of guesswork, looking grammar up, etc. but by the time I was done, I felt pretty good. The more you read, the faster and better you get at it, and there's no shortage of material to read.

Also, video games and manga are literally hundreds of degrees easier to read than novels, since they're both 99% dialogue. You won't get the full enjoyment of the dialogue until you're more fluent, but they're a pretty easy starting place.

Best to pick something newish with decently high-res text, though. That's the only thing that kills old games, kanji are sometimes so compressed you can hardly tell what they are.
