Magmavision2000 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 This is a thread where you can help make a list of all (or most) the English friendly foreign games. The quality doesn't matter, as long as it's English friendly, I'll update the list. My current list is: Famicom/FDS Route 16 Turbo Yie Ar Kung Fu Super Mario Bros. 2 (JP) 3D Hot Rally Ultraman: Kaijuu Teikoku no Gyakushuu Sega Saturn Puyo Puyo Sun Super Famicom Godzilla: Kaiju Daikeesan I know my list isn't much (these are all the Japanese exclusive games I have/had), but I feel like it's an okay start. If you know of any games, please tell us about them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I have been collecting Sega Saturn games for years now and have been gathering Japanese games that are English Friendly. As soon as I can create a list I will be sure to add to this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Invader Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I can add Metal Slug, Marvel vs Street-Fighter, X-Men vs Street-Fighter, Puyo Puyo 2 and Layer Section to the Saturn list. I had language issues with the Japanese versions of House of the Dead and Baku Baku. Edited June 9, 2020 by English Invader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Ok as promised, here is my personal Japanese list from my collection. I am leaving out the US and PAL Exclusives since they are already in native English. I have played all of these games at least a little and after a lot of research I purchased them since the 90s.. haha die hard Saturn fan here! I am not giving you my wish list however since I don't want any competition looking for them haha... There may be like 1 - 2% of these games that are heavy Japanese but I bought them because I liked the characters or art or something else, but this list is like 98% English Friendly more or less.

imstarryeyed Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Ha ha not quite all of the English friendly games but certainly a lot of them, this list represents 100s of hours of research, collecting and negotiating, what a ride.. A suggestion for anyone who wants to play something interesting.. Check out these titles. J EMIT Vol. 1: Toki no Maigo Koei 1995 Education J EMIT Vol. 2: Meigake no Tabi Koei 1995 Education J EMIT Vol. 3: Watashi ni Sayonara o Koei 1995 Education J Dark Hunter: Ge Youma no Mori Koei 1997 Action/Adventure J Dark Hunter: Jou Ijigen Gakuen Koei 1997 Action/Adventure These games were made by Koei and are a very interesting beast.. these games are English learning games with a weird ass anime story. Its fascinating as you can set the language to Japanese or English and the Subtitles to be Japanese or English as well. You can play the entire game in English or at least go through the whole story of all volumes. Since it is English learning software all voices are in English and Japanese as well as the subs... This is just one of the better kept secrets of this game list, there are so much more I can go on and on and on about... I do want to start making videos in the not too distant future and will focus on all of these games, so hey.. no stealing here folks! haha...

Steven Pendleton Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Does it have to be things that only got released in Japan? The Japanese Mega Drive version of Jurassic Park, for example, is 100% in English, and they didn't even change the part on the license screen where they mention the Sega Genesis to read Mega Drive instead. I think this game is region locked, so you'd need a way to bypass the region lock unless you have a Japanese Mega Drive. Similarly, KOF 98 on the Neo Geo defaults to Japanese, but it has an English option in the menu. Not sure if that counts since it was released internationally and it's on a lot of different and modern systems, but it's entirely in English if you want it to be. Now that I think about it, most Neo Geo games should be fine, but again, those have international and modern releases, but it's nice for people who want real carts and can't afford the prices of the international releases. As has already been mentioned, almost any shooting game is probably safe. Do games that only got released in the US on Sega Channel count? If those are okay, add Golden Axe III to the list. I think Pulseman should be okay as well. Ninja Ryuukenden on PC Engine has Japanese text by default, but a button combination changes it to English. On the subject of the PC Engine, Dracula X has 100% English menus, and I think you'd probably be fine with a lot of earlier HuCARD games that are not RPGs. Most of the PC Engine games that I've played have English menus. I forgot the 5 SuperGrafx games. Those are all fine. Of course, 3 of those 5 are shooters and one of them is crap (Battle Ace), but it's nice to see that literally the entire library of a Japan-exclusive console (it did get kind of "released" in France, though...) is fine for non-Japanese people!

CatPix Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego" on Pc-Engine. I assume, due to the game being partly educationnal, the PC-Engine version can be played in English. The only non-english segment is the "encyclopedia" part (which make sense) but nowaday, this can be easily replaced with your smartphone and Wikipedia... or a paper encyclopedia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPix Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Oh I meant that I assumed that the Japanese editor left the English version available because the game is educational at core, so selling it as a fun way to learn english made sense. I actually completed the game recently so I know for sure it's in english, except for the built-in encyclopedia. Sorry for the confusion And thanks for the JB murder club, that's another game I could add to my PC-Engine library If it's really in english. The screenshots are from the US version, and the cutscenes may be in english but the game text in Japanese...

Tanooki Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I looked into it because it kept popping up in a search I was running for new games and people specifically said on some web forum/facebook style posts the game is universally in english which kind of confused me unless it just natively had a Japanese and English text setup from the start so they'd not have to bother localizing it. The game isn't all that large yet uses a CD so the space is more than there to store two alphabets and translations. Pulled this off the wikipedia as it was the first hit = The TurboGrafx-CD version featured still photographs, text and audio voices as well as the option to select the language, English or Japanese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.B._Harold_Murder_Club See the first reply to this persons question how to get english on this page: https://iwasateenagepcenginefan.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/so-uh-how-do-i-play-j-b-harold-murder-club-in-english/ Oh and here's the copy pasted steps to do it too: 1) Start the game. You’re at the screen where the woman says, “Hi, JB!” Press Button I to bring up a menu with five commands. 2) You want NONE of those commands. Press right on the D-pad to get to a sixth command. Select this one. 3) Now you’re at a screen with a gun. Press button I to bring up a menu with five commands. 4) You want NONE of those commands. Press right on the D-pad to get to two more commands. Select the top one. 5) Two more commands come up. Pick the bottom one. 6) The menu disappears. Press button I to bring it up again and voila! English text.

CatPix Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Duly noted! You do'nt need all of that for Carmen; the game boot to a screen with the choice of language, with English written in English 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Well now that is helpful, no lame hoops. If I come around again to buying more PCE CD games I'd probably snap the pair up, or at least JB Harold as I have that recently (within a year) released Carmen dedicated handheld so it's pretty easy not having to fiddle with CDs and all that start up when I have it at the flip of a switch.
