Title: If you can have 1 non-English release on the TG (in English), what would it be?
Post by: storino03 on May 06, 2012, 07:24:50 AM: and I mean officially released, not unofficial methods like patches/translations or anything of the sort.

For me, not quite sure yet. Still new to the system.

Post by: BigusSchmuck on May 06, 2012, 07:33:18 AM: Gulliver Boy, that game would have shown the power of the super cd even though it could use the arcade card.

Post by: SamIAm on May 06, 2012, 07:53:30 AM: Serious question: How does Gulliver Boy on the PCE compare to the Saturn version, objectively speaking?

On topic: Legend of Xanadu II is still the best PCE ARPG that I've played. I'm looking forward to finishing the fan translation. :)

Post by: KingDrool on May 06, 2012, 10:53:36 AM: I remember seeing pictures in EGM of Snatcher and Far East of Eden. Those screenshots gave me nerd boner, so in honor of my 15/16 year-old self's nerd boner, I'd say one of those.

Post by: SignOfZeta on May 06, 2012, 10:57:14 AM: Yeah, probably Snatcher.

Post by: Otaking on May 06, 2012, 11:17:43 AM: Would love to see an english translation of Street Fighter II that game is impenetrable in Japanese.

Ys Books I&II a close second and Beyond Shadow Gate an even closer third.
Title: Re: If you can have 1 non-English release on the TG (in English), what would it be?
Post by: storino03 on May 06, 2012, 11:23:31 AM: Ys Books 1 and 2 are in English, at least on the TGCD.
Title: Re: If you can have 1 non-English release on the TG (in English), what would it be?
Post by: Bernie on May 06, 2012, 11:24:52 AM: And Beyond Shadowgate was only in English. :)

Post by: storino03 on May 06, 2012, 11:32:30 AM: I was originally asking, in other words, what Japanese-only release would you like to have seen released in English. Not necessarily the other way around. ;p

Yep, and someone mentioned Ys 1&2 and Beyond Shadowgate. You mentioned Ys was already done and I mentioned Beyond Shadowgate was an English only release. :)

It is the best game ever made. It features standard JRPG elements, but is extremely original. It is modeled after Final Fantasy IV in basic ways, but is the peak the TM/FEOE theme, aside from maybe TM The Apocalypse IV.

I believe the only one that was released in English is the Neo Geo version. Sadly it's a mediocre fighting game and nothing at all like the rest of the series.
