I would be good with some sort of platformer month again, just not a licensed platformer month. That was rough. Of course there's whole genres of gaming no one's put on a poll yet. Adventure games. Puzzle games. Oh, howabout flight sim month! Yeah only I would vote for that.

I... might have something along those lines as an option as well.

Last Bible III looks great. This one was on my most wanted list back when I first got into emulation and tried all the Japanese-only RPGs on the Super Famicom & Megadrive. Took almost 20 years, but it's finally been translated!

Pretty sure eventually all the good to great SFC RPGs will be translated into English, we're getting there. I wish AGTP would finish Lady Stalker though.

I'd love to see some of the more obscure strategy games get translated... Angelique, Bounty Sword, Dragon's Earth, First Queen, the Farland games, and so on... I'm getting off-topic though. This is a thread for existing fan translations, not most wanted.

This is a thread for existing fan translations, not most wanted. The first 6 Farland Story games have been translated for the PC-98. I'm pretty sure the Super Famicom Farlands are just ports. Besides, they're awful. They're so incredibly easy that there is no strategy whatsoever, so all you do is tediously move your army around the map and execute weaklings, over and over. Farland Symphony (which runs on modern PCs) was also fan-translated, and it's much, much better. The story is decent, characters likeable, gameplay is tighter and more fun. Only problem with it is that the final battle would crash all the time for me, though I eventually made it through. Could be my configuration at the time.

I am aware of those translations. Generally speaking though, I prefer to play what I actually own.
I did enjoy one of the Saturn installments, for whatever that's worth.

So a new, complete translation was released for the first Game Gear Magic Knight Rayheart game. It's a RPG, making this the third available in English along with the stellar Saturn ARPG and the mediocre SNES turn-based RPG. It's a very simplified RPG that seemed to be aimed at small children, though, similar to the Madou Monogatari games. There are no stats - it just tells you "that was a good hit!" and "you level up!". The battle system is weird - you have to spin a wheel and stop it everytime to pick which character will attack next, and the strength of your attack is partially determined by how fast you spun the wheel. Encounter rate's really high, story is silly and poorly-written... in the first village, some kid steals an item that belong to you, and you have to find him and fight him to get it back, then do it again, and again, and again... by the time I quit playing, I think I'd fought him 5 or 6 times already and they weren't done with that stupid chapter. Supposedly the whole game is about 5 hours long, so you can see how much of a cheap cash-in it is. It's too bad, as the graphics are really nice.

I tried it briefly, but had a hard time figuring out quite what was going on with that battle system. Should have fiddled more with the speed stuff.
