Did a search and didn't really see a post about this. If there is one that I missed, please direct and close this one.

I recently bought the Asian release of SD Gundam G Generation Genesis, a game that will likely never get released here so I could play this game with English subtitles (even though it'll likely be a fairly poor translation), and wanted to find a list of other games to import that we'll never see here.

Here's what I could come up with:

Vita

Airship Q (English through patch for either JPN/ASN version)

Chaos Rings III (English only for CR1, CR2, CRO. CR3 is not translated)

Moe Chronicle

PS4

Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers

Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament

PS4/Vita

SD Gundam G Generation Genesis

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3

Gundam Breaker 3

Super Robot Wars V

Xbox One

Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness (Asian version got a downloadable English Patch)

I'm sure I'm missing something.

Grim Patron · Dec 2, 2016

sd gundam g generations genesis and GB3 on Vita are english sub as well.

Megalosaro · Dec 2, 2016

Gundam vs I think

jetsetnickradio · Dec 2, 2016

Great thread idea. I only own DOAX3 out of the games in the OP, but I want them all!!!!

BakedTanooki · Dec 2, 2016

Oreshika and Soul Sacrifice Delta for the Vita.

Hellraider · Dec 2, 2016

The Chaos Rings collection has english? Why the hell aren't they just putting them on the store for the rest of the world, then?

I think this is about games that arent available in any form outside of physical / digital in that region. Oreshika and SSD are digital in the West. The games above are not available in the West without importing/ using those region accounts.

Last I heard English was supposed to be patched in, but I don't think it ever has. I & II are downloads that you need Asian PSN account on your Vita to use.

Rap2thaMoon · Dec 2, 2016

I'm I crazy or were there a Yakuza game that came out in HK with an English localization?

Yeah, it makes more sense if English is not there yet (or probably ever if that's true).

Robots yo
PS3 had better stuff.

georly · Dec 2, 2016

I love this list, thank you. I hope with switch going region free it also opens up devs to implement this practice on more games.

ghibli99 · Dec 2, 2016

How is SRW5?

Yeah my idea was just for a list of stuff that wasn't available in any form here in the west in the English language.

I'll add these two in a separate category though.

jimmypython · Dec 2, 2016

I would like to get back into SRW games........i am too old and lazy for importing tho

Tribes of Trusty · Dec 2, 2016

All the Chaos Rings games on vita in a collection in English ? Sign me up !

Anyone knows good sites for importing in Europe ? I usually ordered on play-asia...

That's gonna be a huge category that eclipses the original idea of the thread lol

Longer term with no PS handheld in play I could see series like SRW and other traditionally PS handheld titles going the Switch route, so for that reason I hope it is both Region free and not as locked to a single account like the Vita is.

Not out for another 3 months

I've actually be ordering through ebay because they seem to have those codes for $15 off 60 or 75 every month or two now. Got my SD Gundam game for 45.

Yeah that's true I just looked at the list... I think I'll just keep it at this then.

joe2187 · Dec 2, 2016

Airship Q as far as i know was only released in japan. But the physical version has a full english localization patch. Even some english voices

Thanks I added it!

Anyone know of any releases like this for non-Sony consoles?

Upcoming Taiwanese PS4 game Xuan-Yuan Sword EX: The Gate of Firmament will have English sub.

The thread I need! Just ordered SRW OG Moon Dwellers. Getting it same-day shipped too! I was pretty surprised about that.

Ahh damn was just looking for this on amazon too.

If you are talking about Asian English release there might not be any as Nintendo's' effort in Asia has been lacking, and Ms barely has any Asian/Japanese support. Almost half the game on the list are from Namco Bandi, who is making a strong push in the Asian market.

SliceSabre · Dec 2, 2016

Awesome list. I've been curious about games that fit into this category.

dancrane212 · Dec 2, 2016

I left the Vita stuff to Dallow_bg's list but I've been keeping track of other console physical releases, including out of region Asian releases, here.

Is it possible to download the chaos ring games without a Japanese account?

PSqueak · Dec 2, 2016

It's a V, not a five hahahaha.

BTW, will it release at the same time as the japanese version or will it come out some time after like Moon Dwellers?

Nobody knows. There hasn't really been any news except an English translation will exist.

Shizuka · Dec 3, 2016

I used to keep up a list, but it's long been forgotten and become outdated. You can definitely keep track through Dallow's list and Play-Asia, but I'll already help by start saying that Chaos Rings III is not an english asian release.

Gunkankun · Mar 23, 2017

Xuan-Yuan released on HK psn today. Its kinda rough but pretty charming.

Sakujou · Mar 23, 2017

there were a bunch of ps3 games, which were playable in english. it would be cool, if someone could make a list.

play-asia did list a lot of games, if they were able to be played on pal, ntsc-j or ntsc-us systems back in the day, i dont know, if this is still existing somewhere to look up.

Gnilres · Mar 23, 2017

Thank you for this thread! Been wondering about PS4 games and now Switch too

LiK · Mar 23, 2017

This is a good thread for us importers.

Banjo-Kazooie · Mar 23, 2017

The Asian version of Psycho-Pass on XB1 was updated with English subs since it never came west like PS4 did

I'm really interested in this, if only to see what Taiwanese game dev is like nowadays. Has anyone received the packaged PS4 version yet? I can't seem to find PS4 version-specific impressions anywhere.

I'm waiting for my copy! Once I get it I'll definitely give some impressions.

Aokage · Apr 2, 2017

I ended up grabbing Xuan-Yuan Sword. It's... surprisingly decent, and absolutely fascinating. The English localization is perfectly fine, too. I'll write up some impressions after I dig into it a bit more.

That actually looks pretty interesting. Is this an action RPG with Wuxia/Xianxia setting?

Damn that sucks. Guess I am gon a need a PS4 in the future. The Vita won't last forever. Hopefully Bandai Namco maybe adds english subs to JP releases or atleast ehop.

I want to just be PC/Switch but SRW would make me buy a PS4.

Well at least for games like I Am Setsuna on switch the English language is on all of the international versions. So hopefully they'll do that for some other games.

Summer Lesson is getting an Asian version with English subtitles.

Or at least mistaken, unfortunately.

Holy shit, didn't expect it to be this long if howlongtobeat is correct. 50 hours!

My ex used to work for softstar, I might check this out.

Id probably double dip at that point. Get the eshop release so I can play on release date and the collector's edition to have whatever extras they offer. I think SRW V's CE just used the official music which is pretty cool. It was only a Japanese release with no option for English subs so I skipped it.
