The Famicom Tantei Club series would be very nice to have. It has nice musics.

I'll be amazed if someone else on GAF would pick that...
No. Start with Guardian's Sword: Alpha Era.

Pretty sure this was fan translated a couple years ago.
Always wanted to play this.

I came in this thread with the intent of saying this, but you beat me to the punch. I own the PSP version of this game and intend to play it eventually, but as you say it's difficult with limited Japanese knowledge.
So instead I'll offer Infinite Loop for the PSP, a VN from Nippon Ichi. Its basic framework (you possess souls while working through a time loop to unravel the mystery of your death) was reused for Disgaea Infinite, which we did get in English because it's Disgaea, but it was kind of watered down and I'd really like to go through the original with its medieval setting.
Edit: Here's an old thread which does a good job of explaining what Infinite Loop is like.

Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation

Somewhat based on the 4th game, with an accessory that allowed you to use real chips along with ones you collect in-game. Your Navi was AI controlled while you used tactics, and events in the world were based on a real-time clock. Growing up with MMBN being my favourite series, this was the dream. I did play it and it was alright, but the language barrier and emulation issues with the clock were a problem. I'd love to play it with the accessories and a complete set of chips.

My absolute first choice is Shin kamaitachi no Yoru(night of the true kamaitachi or banshee's last cry), it's like a serious danganronpa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY-LNH4XZV4
But there's a lot more i would like to get, on vita and psp.
EDIT:
some gameplay.

That's the fourth game in the Kamaitachi No Yoru series, right?
Always thought it was interesting (with how one of the games has the previous game's writer as a main character).
Please.
Please turn over to the first reply.
What was the name of the first one again when it came out here?
Not just the second one; the whole series. Censor out the nudity if you must, I don't care. I just want raise cute anime girls from a homeless orphan to the most powerful person in the realm.
Princess maker 2 is already localized(maybe that's exactly what you were saying? lol)
I don't know the series, but i played the japanese demo and despite not understanding a single word i thought it had the potential of being an awesome game.

Hence, I went with:
Wasn't that well received, yet I'd still love to play an English version of it. I do own the JP import so one day I'll fumble my way through it somehow.
Otherwise, my answer would be the Boku no Natsuyasumi games, even though there are others here who would pick them I'm sure. I own all the games, and I'm learning the language, so hopefully one day I'll be able to play them and understand what's going on, but for now I still can't help but deeply wish they'd gotten the localisation treatment.
Boku 1 (PS1)
Boku 2 (PS2)
Boku 3 (PS3)
Boku 4 (PSP)
These were going to be my choices as well.

Worked fine as Tetris Attack. Would pay zillions for a modern version of this game. Last one released was 7 years ago.

I played a bit of it and was kind of disappointed - lot of cool ideas with really shaky execution. If it ever got translated I would be happy to give it another shot though.

I already see Captain Rainbow, Fate Extra CCC and Princess Crown mentioned, so lets go with this:
Amagami. The anime was fairly enjoyable so I'd like to try the VN, but it only got a Vita, PS2 and PSP release so none of the VN publishers (like Sekai) are going to pick it up, and the fan translation is dead too.

Goichi Suda's work prior to Killer7 & Flower, Sun & Rain
Twilight Syndrome (PSX) (Both Search and Investigation)
Moonlight Syndrome (PSX) - Another game in the Syndrome saga. These are essentially Suda's take on Clock Tower. He made these games at Human Entertainment, the developers of Clock Tower.
The Silver Case (PSX) - The direct prequel to Goichi Suda's Flower, Sun & Rain. We've honestly been getting the Kill The Past saga backwards. lol.
I still hope Suda lives up to his promise on releasing this in English one day since Flower, Sun & Rain is one of my favourite games of all time and I love killer7 too.
Shin Hayarigami (Vita/PS3) - Still annoyed with NIS for not localizing this after promising we'd get more visual novels...
Growlanser (PSX/PSP) - It huuuurts. Why, Atlus? Seriously though, I get it, they don't sell, but damn, this game looked great and it's one of my favourite RPG series out there.
Goemon games on the SNES, PSX and DS. We never did get enough Goemon games. It's a shame. Next to Metal Gear as my favourite Konami series ever, no doubt.

Arcturus, a Korean JRPG which had some influence on Falcom's own games afterward (they localized it for Japan during Trails in the Sky's development arc).
Another translator's gotten to work on this, last I checked the romhacking.net thread.
Princess maker 2 is already localized(maybe that's exactly what you were saying? lol)
I don't know the series, but i played the japanese demo and despite not understanding a single word i thought it had the potential of being an awesome game.
Localization for PM2 was started, but the translation company went under before release. This unreleased ROM soon made its way to the Internet and the rest is history.

niche game coming out after the 3DS launched had no chance. =(
Still waiting for a fan translation. It has to happen some year, I just know it.
Still waiting on Front Mission 2089: Border of Madness, too.

The Ryo Digimon games for Wonderswan. These have been my holy grail for probably 15 years.
This has been one of my top picks for years. I'd love to get to play this in English.
I'm more than happy with the quality of Reigitize's fan translation, but I do hope to get English versions of Adventure and Decode some day. Decode is really just a matter of the technology getting caught up.
SIGH.

Moryou Senki Madara 2 for Super Famicom. I remember AGTP translation group said they were progressing, but that update was in 08' and it says it's still stuck at 60%. Incredibly lush soundtrack and cool realistic-looking characters when the norm on Super Famicom was SD. Combat system was super fast and had a neat auto-battle feature. It even has weather in the the overworld that changes. I bet I'm one of the only fans of this game here lol
But yeah Music is SNES Konami at it's finest, with compositions by...

Front Mission 2 as well. The fan translation is incomplete...
I don't think NO ONE would want these localized, but judging by GAF I assume they're not really enjoyed. Regardless, I need more SRW games brought stateside, specifically the OG games, since those don't have the HUGE licensing issues bringing over the crossover continuity games presents. If I had to pick a single game, it'd be SRWOG Endless Frontier EXCEED. We got the first game and that was such a pleasant surprise for me I still go back to it every once in a while, but the sequel never made it over...
The runner ups would be OGs and 2nd OG, since the GBA games that were ACTUALLY brought over have been retconned and redone out of relevancy...

With so little left untranslated ! There must be a valid reason but it fucking breaks my heart.

What's behind with the tech on the 3DS release?
People already mentioned The Silver Case, Wachenroder, and Ihatovo Monogatari, so my choice would probably be one of these:
Serpentrion: Out of the Blue
Serpentrion: Out of the Blue
Garage: Bad Dream Adventure
Yuuyami Doori Tankentai
There's been a fan translation out for years.

Hacking tools, mostly, and emulation lacking some features. The team is working on it, but they're having to go slower because of things not being as advanced (which is why they're doing a Lost Evolution translation patch in the mean time).

Giftpia. I know some people say the game itself is not that good, but it has an appealing look, is suitably weird, and the OST is fantastic. I've never been bored by a skip Ltd. game, at the very least. Even made an appearance at E3 one year.

My pick is Super Robot Wars Alpha 3. It's a perfect pick for this thread because 80% of GAF doesn't give a crap about SWR, and the 20% that does would consider it an obvious choice and therefore avoid picking it.
There's a port of it for the PSP (in Japanese only, sadly).
It's not. Like, at all. Sorry, or perhaps congratulations on not really missing anything worthwhile.
Princess Crown - Sega Saturn
https://youtu.be/yIV2JqC37dk
It's the pre-cursor to Odin Sphere and VanillaWare in general.
A port to any system would be welcome, but it's too much to ask to port and translate
