So.
A lot of us have Famicoms. A lot of us have Famicom Disk Systems.
Unfortunately, not a lot of us can speak/read Japanese.
This thread is devoted to those Famicom and FDS games that gaijin like us would have no problem playing, regardless of our native language.
So how about it? Obviously, most RPGs are out due to the sheer amount of text within them. But there have to be a good number of games released for the Famicom and FDS that contain a minimal amount of Japanese.
I think it would be best to keep this thread limited to Famicom/FDS games that did NOT see a port to the US. So "Pro Wrestling" is out, but "F1 Race" is welcome.
What would the best idea be? Just have everyone add his/her suggestions below? Or would it help for me to continue editing this first post into one master list? It might help for followup posts to contain a VERY brief description of the game in question (ex. "RPG," "overhead shooter," etc.) followed by a description of just how much Japanese is in the game. For example, "Devil World" = No Japanese text at all, "Metroid" = Title/Menu screens in Japanese, etc.
Any takers?
