Games that should make their way outside Japan!

[Ryuujin]

"True" Super Robot Wars games (not that the OG games are *bad*, mind you). If Japan can work out the licensing issues, why the fuck can't we?

Also the G Generation games. I'm actually kind of mystified why Bandai never tried bringing these over, even during Gundam's heyday in the US. I mean, they don't have the licensing issues SRW has...

[JanthraX^]

great thing is for shmups you dont really need a translation
only the acquistion is hard, Ikaruga ftw!

[HashiriyaR32]

If Japan can work out the licensing issues, why the fuck can't we?

There's a reason why even the voiced OG games won't be sent here and why the english release of the OG anime only got english subs

Blame SCEA's requirement that every NA release MUST HAVE an english voice track added (for games without one) in order for it t be even sold here.

Because the licenses for different mecha series are spread about even more overseas. It's a big pain.

It'd be mightily nice and icing on the cake if there was a Tales of Destiny remake PSP version coming out after Rebirth.

No, TOD 2 was Tales of eternia. Both the true TOD 2 and TOR were on the ps2.

More Shining series.

We got Shining Tears, but they removed all the voicing during story parts.

So why can't we get the goddamn sequel/upgrade in the form of Shining Wind? They fixed so many issues that Tears had.

[Duo Maxwell]

Seconded for Shining Wind.

However, I doubt it would sell enough to guaranteed a localization.

[Mauru]

Sakura Taisen games are really famous in japan, they got better scores than the Tales Games. Hopefully it will get localized, I am still waiting for a official date.

[Bane Rieko]

The Higurashi games and the Lucky Star game should be brought over, they're supposed to be really good (I can't read Japanese, but I've read translations and reviews).

[Bad wolf]

I really want Another Century's Episode 3 to be dubbed >.<

[kk2extreme]

initial d, it is such a great game, not talking about the arcade but the home console.

and other pc rpgs, they are really good, and we never get any of them for computers.

[2H-Dragon]

Yakuza 3, it just look so awesome. Yakuza1 &2 where pretty solid, so can't w8 to get my hands on that game.

Looks like no one mentioned so far, but I'd love to see the other games in the EVE series in english. Hell it was the very first VN (I call it VN instead of adventure-game) I ever truly enjoyed and I was fascinated by it's plot. Since ADAM was soooo unfinished I never gonna know what's happening after that.
Technically it wouldn't be even that hard to get the EVE-DVD (the remake version) done in english considering that it probably uses a lot from EVE Burst Error's dialogs. The same applies to EVE: The Fatal Attraction, because it follows ADAM's story more or less (but at least TFA gives a proper ending).

Well as you can read in the comments at Aoi Shiro's project page here, the translator says he could (hopefully) finish the whole game by Octoberish. The current partial patch now translates the majority of the routes though, if you are impatient. You can import the game legally through Himeya for example.

As far as I know, Akai ito has a step by step text-translation sort of, whereas you'd read along that with the game. Instructions here, and the news about the project are here.

Well i heard the Tales of Vesperia on PS3 is only going to be released in Japan and not internationally so i'm pretty bummed about that. Would be awesome if it made its way to the US
