@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...

How about a separate list for games like Neo Nectaris that are totally playable for non-Japanese speakers, as not much of any reading is required at all.

For 80+% English games, most arcade style games like shooters should fit the bill. So there are probably a good 100 - 200 mostly-English PCE games.

Gate of Thunder is 100% English, except for the credits(?), which I believe shouldn't factor into the English percentage.
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!

Isn't there a thread already for English friendly PCE games? If not, I can compile the list with this one.

I'm just wondering how games with very little language will be judged. I think for all games, cinema language shouldn't enter into it. It should just be in-game content.

I believe that Faceball is around 100% English.

I did not know this.

BigusSchmuck

Edited the title a bit, please guys lets add some pce games that we know we don't need to read Japanese in order to play!

SignOfZeta

Are there ANY shooters that require Japanese? If not, add these: http://www.pcedaisakusen.net/2/27/list-games-Shmups-1-0-100-name-asc-0.htm

Which ones are "little Japanese" or "no Japanese" I can't say, but I can't recall any PCE shooters that require reading.

BTW, its "Gate" not "Gates" of Thunder.

I would also include basically every fighting game. Flash Hiders, Advanced VG and Askua %120 have lots and lots of spoken Japanese, but its irrelevant to gameplay.

NecroPhile

Parts of Carmen Sandiego aren't translated, but it's still playable.

Godzilla would be an exception to the rule, as the bonus rounds are all in Japanese.  It's still easily completed by just guessing, but missing out on the bonus points makes it impossible to unlock all the bosses.

Did some more editing, keep em coming guys, thanks zeta for that list.

turboswimbz

Here are games I own that I find easy without knowing Japaneese:

Puyo Puyo CD

RANMA 1/2 - DATŌ, GANSO MUSABETSU KAKUTŌ-RYŪ! - English menus for the most part, it's a beat em up 1 on 1 style so the cutscences that do contain voices are not needed to still follow the loose story line

Baby Jo the superhero - 100% English IIRC

Be - Ball - Easy enough to figure out,   

Black-hole Assault - Fighter lots of English

Road Spirits - 90% English

Devil Crash and Alien Crush - pinball

Conan Future Boy - While it doesn't have much English, not knowing Japanese won't hurt you at all, other than some dialogue

Yu Yu Hakashu- Strange mix of fighter and 1st person shooter, really a timing game - not knowing Japanese isn't a problem.

F1 Circus (all) - racing game, lots of English though I don't recall how much.

Faceball - you can figure out the little bit of text and the such easily.

Gotzendiener - Most of the game has no voices or text.

Wonder momo - no need for any language.

Splash Lake - mostly English

zero4champ (1 and 2) - 100% English
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)
BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

BigusSchmuck

Man with these mostly english games, it makes you wonder why we haven't seen some more translations!

Thanks for making the effort to create this list, Bigus!  This is awesome, and needs to be stickied. :)

Hatris!

VolfieV(D)!

Lode Runner: Lost Labrynth  :-"

I don't have it but I would imagine Double Dragon II would be easily playable without any knowledge of Japanese.  

Flash Hiders is a fighter and can be played without understanding the text.  That goes for all the fighting games, Street Fighter II: CE', Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, I'm sure there are others I'm not thinking of (I don't own or play many of 'em).

I see some PCE versions of US games listed, so here are a couple more of the Japanese counterparts that don't require any knowledge of the language: Crest of Wolf (Riot Zone), Pomping World (Buster Bros).

Altered Beast, though you'd need a V1 System card or a flash card to play the CD version.

Magicoal is somewhat text heavy, but it's still playable (and enjoyable).  Same goes for Dungeon Explorer II and Neutopia II.

Also, the Tennokoe Bank is easy to figure out how to use and is an essential addition to any library.

If you want to go the extra mile, I've been using great walkthrus for FEOE: Kabuki Den and Dragon Knight III and have had no issues so far.  The games have been very enjoyable to play with the walkthrus (found on gamefaqs). I've saved the text files to my computer, but if you'd like I could dig up the links on gamefaqs.

Current want list:  Bomberman 93

wildfruit

die hard is easy enough to play. the title credits are in english and so is the continue screen. there are about 2 lines of japanese at the start of every level but it doesnt seem rewuired to understand it

Trenton_net

A little off topic: What parts of Carman Sandiago are in English and what is in Japanese?

NecroPhile

The only part not translated is the encyclopedia you can use to look stuff up, but don't let that scare you away.  You likely won't need it anyway, and there's always google if you do need some info.

Is Exile II playable without much Japanese knowledge? I know the fights are all side scrolling action, so I was hoping so.

It's more straightforward/linear than Exile.

What about Adventure Island Aka Dragons Curse (US) is there much text?

How is Zero 4 Champ 100% English? All of the dialog is Japanese.

I've tested over 280+ pce games found 123 so far that are playable:

I probably should create a spreadsheet or a little bit easier format instead of just listing as the list continues to grow..

cjameslv

Damn, i just realized a few of those (4-5) were english translation patched roms. So my count of 123 is more like 118 unless you are using an everdrive or emulator etc.

The Wizardry games are English.

If you're playing CDs as long as you hae the right level system card you can play imports. To play Japanese HuCards on a US system you need a convertor, the cheapest one to obtain is a chopsado which attaches directly to the card.

The second cheapest is to have the system modded.  It's only $16 plus shipping for OBEY card if you can handle soldering iron well.  8P2T switch used to be cheapest but lately it has been hard to find one for less than $25 and it's too frickin' big for PCE GT or TurboExpress.

How about Valkyrie no Densetsu? I was thinking about buying it since it looked fun and like it would be playable without being able to understand Japanese, but sometimes it looks like there is a bit of dialog in the game and I don't know if it contains anything you're going to need to know to play certain parts of the game.

It's playable & very fun.  From what I can tell, the Japanese bits are only for earning bonus items, so it should be doable without knowing the language.  If you wanna get the questions right, there's a longplay video on YouTube that shows what the answers are.
