Games that should make their way outside Japan!

[Oppius]

There are some good games that we might not play but the Japanese. Maybe the Japanese also have same problem on many good Western games. It just unfair that the only problem with some good Japanese games is the language.

My personal vote goes to Super Robot Wars Original Generations and Super Robot Wars Original Generations Gaiden both for PS2. Both games did not have any license unlike many previous SRW games because all characters involved in both games are completely original. If Atlus can release both SRW OG games in GBA but why not PS2. Maybe because both games failed in North America. Forget about English voice-acting. Just look what both G-Collections and Peach Princess did to eroges. They just translated those games into English subtitles instead. It was cheaper, faster and more profitable. If the voice acting is the biggest problem, they just can use English subtitles instead. In fact all dialogs in those games have their own subtitled. They just can translate the subtitles instead and leaving the Japanese voice acting unaltered.

I know some of you may disagree with me but those two are best candidate that should make their way outside Japan.

I learned Japanese in the first place all because of SRW, the game series inspired my life, instilled hot bloodedness in me. Its a great game series and definitely needs to be more well known outside Japan.

But I really wouldn't want to hear someone else say 'Dark Sword Kill! CHOP!!', besides Latouni herself in Japanese.

If any Japanese games need to go western, there should be no voice changes, only subtitles, like what you've mentioned. The same goes for anime itself.

I think the option should be present and living in Europe is a pain because instead of having the option of hearing the person speak Japanese I have the option to hear him speak French and German

[Hemisphere]

Just two? You sure?

I could think of several more titles.

I wished they were making haruhi suzumiya into a pal game
its just being released in Japan, i was gutted when i found out *cry*

[MeganeShounen]

I'm going to say this ahead of Erhjegel (Yes, I know he's going to mention this one).

Ar Tonelico 2. They've already done it with the first game, so please do the second game, GUST/Banpresto. (Though, chances are it's already being TLed, and they're just being hush-hush about it?)

And while I'm at it, Persona 3 FES. (And again, chances are it's also being TLed at the moment, but no info.)

I would've liked to have seen the following games brought over:

-Recent Cave Shmups (Mushihimesama Futari, ESPGaluda 2, Pink Sweets, Mushi Mushi Pork) - admittedly, there are no console ports, so this is really wishful thinking
-Arcana Heart Series - PS2 port can be imported, but not so sure about the sequel coming out next year
-Melty Blood Series - can be run on PC, but with Japanese text, PS2 port of Act Cadenza can be imported. What will happen to Actress Again?
-Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes - Supposedly like Dynasty Warriors but much better

[Alexandrite]

- Kingdom Hearts Final Mix +. Given the fanbase here, I see no reason to keep it in Japan
- The A.C.E. games. Dammit, I want to pilot me some big robots of death (especially the Valkyries)
- More visual novels. After seeing some of the shows based off them, I'm curious about the original game itself.
- I wouldn't mind getting to play Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine, the MMO. It looked pretty interesting, but I realize this is the most impractical choice of my list.
- Provided it was as good as some of the other titles in the series, the Shin Megami Tensei: NINE should get here too.
- You know what? Just bring all the rest of the MegaTen games over here, even the oldest ones.
- Idolm@ster: Ever since I saw the video previews on YouTube I've wanted to play this game. It just looks really fun.

I'm modding my consoles and picking most of these things up when I go there later this year. >_<

Ooooh, Ar tonelico 2, you bet! I'd do anything short of murder, mass genocide, and/or wanton unnecessary destruction of boats full of food and medicine to sick dying orphans just to get this game localized and translated.

[Miko Miko]

Higurashi Matsuri and Daybreak <3
Haruhi Game
Lucky Star game..

basically any game of the animes I love!!!

[Jazzrat]

Front Mission 5
Persona 3 FES

[Kazu]

Eh, sounds like fun to me. Do want.

Also, I want Saya no Uta or Melty Blood games.

[Kaioshin Sama]

Front Mission 5 beyond a shadow of a doubt. I know Front Mission 4 sold poorly, but Front Mission 5 was ranked by many game websites as the import game of the year when it came out.

Tales of Rebirth as well, and maybe one of the SD Gundam G Generation strategy games. They've proven with games like Gundam Musou that they don't care if a game reatures unlicensed series or not, so why the heck not bring a game that isn't a straight up action game out. I mean considering we got Gundam Crossfire, which was an abomination of a game, it's the least they could do to bring out something good.

[Bandersnatch]

Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine
Shin Megami Tensei: NINE

and I'd love to see Berserk for PS2 brought over.

[UzumakiW]

Higurashi Matsuri and Daybreak
All the Negima! games
School Days

No dubs though, I'd want to see them in Japanese with subs.

[Terrestrial Dream]

All the Super Robot War games and all the Fire Emblem games!

I'd say the same, but with Tales Of Rebirth too.

Also the Ys: Origin and the other Ys games on PS2 that never came in America.

[lilguy]

Well, there are a lot of games that we want from Japan and don't make it but, I really want the Front Mission games released for America in the future

[p997tt]

Final Fantasy 4 DS. Last time I heard they will never release an English version of it.
