Hi, I just wanted to make a neat list of great games that us English-speakers miss out on. For instance, Jump Ultimate Stars is a great game, but needs (and has) a translation patch. I was hoping some of you could tell me what great Japanese games there are out there, and possibly a link to the english patch. Or perhaps some games that you don't really need to read to play. (Like Elite Beat Agents and Metal Slug 7) Thanks for your time.
Dude there are only two places I can recommend to you: http://www.romhacking.net/ -> this place has got a translations projects list section that lets you have easy access to every known game that has a translation patch & easy access to the guys who made translation patches. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?act=idx -> now if newer current gen games are what you seek, this place handles translation patches for them. Problem is, you got to wade through the forum to find what you're looking for as their search function kinda sucks as they use a google tie in for their searches.
It really depends on your gaming genre preferrences, I for one love classic/retro RPGs, so most of the SNES Japanese RPG Translation patches are my favorites.
To me,the best japanese game that has an english patch is Monster Rancher DS ' Jump Ultimate Stars '.You can unlock komas a lot easier.
JUS was okay, but I'm just not an anime fan. I will admit that the combat was cool, but I didn't like the charachters. If we could get a pallet swap of Super Smash Brothers charachters, I don't think I'd ever put the game down.
well ... i would vote for tales series ... as for soma bringer already playing it although the translation just a little bit more to finished ^^
i want to play these games: phantasy star zero, soul eater, ragnarok ds but i don't understand japanese
