@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

So there are a number of games, both released in Japan and the US, that are Tie-ins to Western TV or Film franchises. The ones I am aware of are...

Addams Family
Batman
Darkwing Duck
Die Hard
Knight Rider
Talespin

Well, apart from Batman they all seem to be utter shite.

So my question is, have I missed any and more importantly are there any that are actually good fun to play...?  :-k

These aren't strictly limited to TV or film, but licensed from Western franchises/brands-

Sherlock Holmes CD 1 & 2
Syd Mead's Terraforming
Camp California
John Madden Duo CD Football
Andre Panza Kickboxing
Champions Forever Boxing
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

None of the OP's six were released in both regions - Addams Family, Darkwing Duck, and Talespin were TG-16 only; and Batman, Die Hard, and Knight Rider were PCE only.

The titles I listed are brands that existed before becoming licensed games.

Beating Addams Family is OK for a two-hour romp. Tailspin underwater sucks, but the sidescrolling is fine; I like it as much as Donkey Kong Country (not saying much). Darkwing is average but clunky.

The Turbo had lots of below-average games. If you're going to love the Turbo, ya gotta love the duds too!

Nice list.

A few Amiga games I see listed and always hoped a few other games from Europe would have been converted namely Darkmere and Lionheart.

Off topic - were there any WESTERNS on the PCE? As in Gunsmoke/Wanted/Sunset Riders-style wild westerns??

I don't know how wild it is, but Fiend Hunter starts in a saloon IIRC.

There is a thread on this. Short answer = no.
