Dai Gyakuten Saiban/Great Ace Attorney
Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2/Great Ace Attorney 2
Gyakuten Kenji 2/Ace Attorney Investigations 2
Mother 3/EarthBound 2
Zero no Kiseki/Trails from Zero
Ao no Kiseki/Trails to Azure
Senjou no Valkyria 3 E2/Valkyria Chronicles 3 E2

There's more, but this is the stuff that immediatly springs to mind.

And yes, I know about the fan-translations for some of the games. Would still be nice to see them in an official capacity someday.

Originally it was DQ7 3DS but now that its reality, Tales of Destiny PS2, though I've already played the hell out of it and can get through it in Japanese I don't really care anymore. It would be novelty.
 
All of the War of Genesis games. Those games are obscure Korean PC RPG games and the third one sold a lot when it came out. It even won a price and not a lot of single player games earn that price in South Korea.
War of Genesis won awards in a time when single-player DOS/Windows games actually were the norm in South Korea, before MMOs took off and almost entirely decimated single-player market share. That's the biggest reason why games from that era differ so much from recent South Korean output.

Basically everything Falcom and Atlus. :p

Especially: Zero/Ao no Kiseki, Brandish 2 and SMT If.

It's coming soon, for real this time...!

Also going to second Zero/Ao no Kiseki, again. They, especially Ao, are among the best games in the finest RPG series I've ever played. I still have complete faith that XSEED will eventually be able to get around to them, even if they have to do CS3 first to prevent it from falling into NISA's hands.

I don't get why Sega won't localize Yakuza Ishin...:/

Also Ace Attorney Investigations 2, Great Ace Attorney 1 and 2.
 
I can see Sega localising Ishin when the well starts to dry up hopefully after Kiwami 2 and Like A North Star. What I want is Black Panther. I don't know much about it other than the soundtrack being god damn amazing and it's far less likely considering it was on the PSP.

How in the hell has nobody said this yet?!

Because it's not a fun game
 
the new final fantasy and dragon quest itadaki street special that is coming out next month in japan.

I will get it regardless and even force myself to learn enough japanese to play it. but I would love an actual english version of it.

I still figure a simple localization leaving the voices in japanese but translating the other elements of the game shouldn't be that expensive, and that the two IPs alone would be enough to sell enough copies to make a profit, but it still seems unlikely SE will localize it at this point.

My man.

I have to second the SD3 requests. I mean we have a great d fan translation, but to get a proper official localization would be great.

Not a game exactly, but if we're talking "dream localization", I'd love to see that old Dragon Quest anime fully redubbed with British VAs in the style of modern DQ games.

Mainly echoing DGS and My Summer Vacation.

Hoping for Disaster Report 4 and, moreso but less realistically, City Shrouded In Shadow as well.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, new Fortune Street would be cool. Still gotta get friends to play the Wii copy I bought a couple years ago. It's kinda surprising that they're not up for bringing it over at a time when FF and DQ are both relatively popular, especially with DQ 11 soon...

(If you couldn't guess from my avatar)

I know this has a fairly good anime adaptation as visual novels go, but I was especially unsatisfied by how rushed the entire ending section of the series was, and I want to know what really went down. I need my scientific explanations!

Sadly the only way I see this getting localized is if it gets a port to something that's not Vita. With a sequel coming out (allegedly) next Spring, I would hope they consider it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. A Switch port would be nice since they teased the sequel may come to Switch.

Ugh, I really want this to come out here, if only since with the vague stuff I read alone that sequel is definitely going to be a sequel to both Steins;Gate and Chaos;Child as well. Sucks that Elite is Vita only; I really hope they port it (and not a new version like S;G Elite, ugh) to Switch and/or PS4 so that it can be comfortably brought over here.

Right now, Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki.

Mother 3 is also a game that I really want to see a localization for, but since the fan translation exists it's slightly lower on the priority list for me than Zero/Ao.

As much as I love Dragon Quest XI... It would be really awesome if they could add voice over in the western release of the game. With SAG-AFTRA potentially reaching an agreement, I hope that SE and the devs changes their stance on this for DQXI. I miss Yangus' voice actor (Cor Blimey! Whacha doing Guv!)... :(

Yakuza Ishin & Kenzan

Seiken Densetsu 3

After having tried that demo on PS4, I just want that samurai Yakuza game. :p

The DQ games with voice acting are recorded in the UK, the strike only affected LA based actors so you're good either way (I'm hoping for some good voice acting too)

Well... so far SE and the devs have stayed firm regarding their position on the matter of VA in DQXI. They keep saying it would impact the localization process, but there is nothing stopping them to add the voice over after the release of the game in the West.

Yeah man. i want Yakuza Ishin to make its way to the west as well. It's really hard to understand why there are no edo-meiji era games on the consoles.

EX Troopers
Capcom pls
Lost Planet games are fun and this looks like it has all the fun of Lost Planet but with a rad manga artstyle, faster movement, and faster melee combat.
Though this is the biggest, some others I wish made it over are:
  • Beyond the Labyrinth
  • Live A Live
  • Bullet Girls 2
  • Digimon World Redigitize Decode
  • Valkyria Chronicles 3
  • Moero Crystal
  • Durarara!! 3way standoff
  • Durarara!! 3way standoff -alley-
  • Durarara!! 3way standoff -ally- V
  • Net High
  • Omega Labyrinth
  • Omega Labyrinth Z
  • Gun Gun Pixies
  • Shining Resonance
Ex Troopers is definitely the worst offense though. Just look at this!

Ao and Zero no Kiseki obv....

And also an extra dream re-release and localization of the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia for current gen so I can replay that gem without dragging out the old shitbox

So what's the deal with My Summer Holiday 3, a bunch of you folks are talking about it.

I searched up a trailer and it looks cozy as fuck. How playable is it without any Japanese knowledge?

It's one of my favorite games for relaxation.It's really beautiful as well with some great hand-painted backgrounds that give a strong Studio Ghibli feel.For people who were lucky enough to spend time in the countryside when they were younger (during the 80's and 90's i spend all my summers at my parents countryhouse until i was 15-16) they can relate a lot to this game regardless if they are American,European or Asian.It really captures a sense of nostalgia and has a very nice atmosphere with a very minimal use of music (it relies a lot in the countryside sounds in order to build atmosphere).

You're doing daily activities in your uncle's farm during the 80's,and going to nearby places such as temples,visiting neighbours,hunting bugs and make them fight each other,and various other activities as the day and night progress.You can discover some new things if you visit the same areas at night.

You don't need to know any Japanese (i didn't back in 2008 when i first played it) in order to progress for at least a few hours but i remember that eventually i got stuck at some point and i could only do the same activities over and over again.

Actually recently i was thinking to return to it now that i am beginner + level at Japanese and see if i can progress any further than the last time.

One really odd one that I wish we would have gotten is Segagaga. The self referential nature of it seems so neat. But I probably won't bother to play a fan translation or whatever.

Possibility of this happening with the Sega Forever service on mobile. From Eurogamer's interview with Mike Evans (SEGA Networks chief marketing officer):

"I'm actively looking at Segagaga as a title which will be a great thing, there are other titles I'd love to see like Panzer Dragoon."
