Started playing an eng hack of this game and holy crap is it good for the NES.

Any other Japan RPGs with eng translations for NES that show off what the Famicom can do?

LaSalle Ishii's Childs Quest (It comes in two flavors being "NoA Style" and "Brutally unfair.")

(It's Final Fantasy 7... on the nes?!)

I'm sure there's more out there and Final Fantasy 7 might not count as a real Japan RPG since it was a Chinese demake. but yeah.

Iirc, there is this one that has you as a child in feudal Japan, but you were hidden there from the future for some reason.

Lagrange Point seemed sloggy and random battle filled, also a son of a bitch to find your way around at points, but damn good music and dat one scene not far in. If I'm stuck for something to play I might give it a proper go.

Esper Dream 2 is the superior Konami rpg. God tier ost using the Japanese Castlevania III chip, the battle system is pretty much top down Blaster Master sections, and there's so much charm to it all. Not overly long but fun as hell.

Radia Senki is likable. Decent little random-encounter-based but real time battle system, which doesn't cut to a seperate battle map and has enemies appear around you. Default speed is slower to accomodate tactics but you can whack the speed up so these play like Zelda. It has the whole Tecmo cutscene thing going on for major plot events, too.

Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru and Armored Dragon Fantasy Villgust are two rpgs based on anime (but have nothing to do with their corresponding series bar character cameos) following the same 'top down exploration, Zelda 2 battles' formula. Heck, both have midgame battle sprite upgrades based on equipment or in Wataru's case, what mecha you're piloting. I liked both for different reasons, Villgust has a bunch of chars to play with in battle with different skills, and Wataru's battles play EXACTLY like Wonder Boy In Monster Land, given Westone made it. It even has the little bouncy coin drops.

Shadow Brain sounds hella fucking rad but shipped with a vhs prologue it might be hard to track down. I think a readme with the patch summarises it. Looks like a very SMT first person dungeon crawler anyway, and I'm wanting to try it.
