This is exactly the one I am looking for. Lol. Thanks. Will check it out and see if I can find a copy.

there was a game in that franchise on the satrn too witch i like alot

I played the original on the DOS. I remember playing the up till I get my second wife and had to find my first again in the labyrinth.

I remember being amazed by graphics, Like when the ground was cut up, and scene where the wandering drunk teaches you your first sword technique of raining swords. That was brilliant.

I always wanted to play the original Allods game which the MMO was based on (it's kind of like Heroes of Might and Magic 3, with more strategy) but it only exists in Russian.

I want an official translation. The fan translation that I've played is not even completed, sentences that doesn't make sense and overlapping words.

SE is the worst? They're not even that bad.

Did you use the right version of the game? The patch is for VC3 Extra Edition. Patch does work with both versions of the game but some things will get messed up if using VC3 original. Only reason I would want a localization is if they put it on PC or PS3/4.

So many negative things to say about Square Enix. I could write a book so I won't say anything.

I feel like there should be a crowd-funded translation service. Might be some legal issues with that though.

There was a group that did this. They would translate so much of a game on how much they got paid. I don't think it worked out but I never followed anything they translated since it wasn't in my interest.

Lady Stalker for the Super Famicom.Many people have tried to fully translate that game but have eventually failed.

It's just one of those games in the rather untouched comedy RPGs genre.

I have a pick for a really obscure one. Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special. It has one of the most shocking endings of any game, let alone a wrestling game, and was done by Suda51 (of Killer7). It has a fairly complicated storyline that chronicles your rise to the top of the wrestling world, and deals with depression, suicide, murder, really dark stuff for a game from that era. All of the characters are based on real pro wrestlers (Ric Flair, Sting, etc. mostly NWA/WCW guys but Hogan and the Macho Man are in there too). Here's a good, spoiler filled article on it.

Yeah, that caught my attention when I heard it was one of the first games he worked on.

That's the sequel to Landstalker, right? I'd also like a translation for that.

Every Ys game except Ys IV Dawn of Ys and Mask of the Sun have official English release. Both of these games have fan translations.

Nearly half of the Legend of Heroes series is already out in English on the PSP. Other than the first 2 games "Dragon Slayer" series rest of the game will most likely be released by Xseed.

BB Ball for GBA.
Incredibly obscure game, almost nothing on it here on the interwebs. This game came in my Crazy Frog racer box when my dad shopped for games in China.

I've always wanted to know what to do in this motherfucker. I've never gotten it... it's really strange.

Unlike video games, Anime hasn't become boring to me, and I'm watching more Anime now than I have in years.

I don't want to play any video games anymore, not even the older ones.

Star Ocean Blue Sphere

This? :P

Anyway, I would want these 3 games :

*Insert pic of ルドラの秘宝 here (Lost mine in the limbo of the internet abyss or something)*

The 2 Negima games on the GBA are great. I picked them up randomly since I liked the mangas and I'm having a lot of un with them actualy. Way more than I taught I would have. They are made by Marvelous, who might or might not be known for Senran Kagura. I really mainly want them localised/translated mainly so people can actualy enjoy them. They don't even have patch for emulation or anything ._.

Rudora no Hihou is one of the best obscure Super Famicom I've seen in a while. It's too bad no one really played it, because the soundtrack is awesome and the game is great. The magic system is (easily breakable.... by accident) but it's fun to mess with. The chance this is ever getting a re-release on anything in any language (an official one, at least) is basicaly in the negative, but I still think this would be awesome.

Edit : Oh yeah, and 聖剣伝説３/Secret of Mana 2, for basicaly the same reason as ルドラの秘宝.

I'd love to have the Idolm@ster series translated, especially Cinderella Girls, but the series couldn't be further from obscurity.

Treasures of the Rudra is a good game but none of the older obscure games will ever get a re release. It's all about $ and old obscure games are not going to sell. Wouldn't even care for the offical release at this point because chances are SE will end up screwing it up. Fan translation for this game is excellent. The text in this game looks great compared to majority of the localized SNES RPG.

If anything Seiken Densetsu 3 has a good chance of succeeding if they do a remake. Secret of Mana is at least not a obscure game and it's an Action RPG which is what people seem to enjoy more now days.

But Seiken Densetsu 3 does have a translation...I played it as a kid. Not an official one, but it's good enough I think.

Yupe, I did meant an official release, not a random bootleg from the flea market (NOT OBVIOUSLY A BOOTLEG AT ALL, especialy when you have a chrono trigger hack next to it and 魔獣王 ._.) Wich was the point of the thread.

At least I have it, and I'm happy with that. If only I could get my hands on 魔獣王 I'd be super happy but this god damn game is worth a god damn fortune I can't afford.

Speaking of... I want an 魔獣王 release too, that game was awesome as all hell, and equaly hard ._. (I have played the actual one, not a rom, but it wasn't mine ._.)

Edit : Speaking of Bootleg, why are people willing to pay an insane price for an obvious (bad quality often) bootleg? They can't cost THAT much to make, and most of the time whoever makes them, they take other people's translation anyway. I wouldn't pay 60 for a Secret of Mana 2 bootleg, I paid my 聖剣伝説３ 5$, what the hell?

Yokai Watch 4? That game's animations and graphics easily give SwSh a run for its money.

Some idiot on Youtube was putting down or undermining that fresh looking game because of mindless favoritism of Pokémon recently.

Like fool! get that nostalgia outta your head and use common sense. New games are coming out with more substance and Gen 8 Pokémon is so 5 minutes ago. That ain't hot! but Pokémon as of late did turn into hot garbage.

Speaking of new games, I look forward to the next installment of the Harvest Moon franchise.

Back to Yokai Watch 4, it would be awesome if it could be fan translated. Knowing Level 5, they take years to have their games localized.

Tales and Fire Emblem games. (And they should be put on the 3DS.)

I was going to say Fire Emblem too, but I'm not entirely sure if the old FE games are obscure; sure, they may not be available in the West right now, but the FE games that are available in the West are so popular, that I don't think the old FE games are obscure now.

But either way, I agree it'd be awesome for more older FE games to be translated; would love to see FE Thracia 776 on the Switch.

I don't understand why Nintendo isn't doing that; it doesn't make sense from a business perspective, right? They could simply translate and import the old FE games, and boom! Lots of money. It shouldn't take nearly as much work as making a new FE game.

Though I can understand why nobody translated these since Ikkitousen fans are few and far between.
