oh I must have missed where you said Mainly looking for FC....
hmm
I second aclbandit's suggestion in that case.
Ladystalker for SFC is pretty good
Brandish doesn't require much Japaneseing.
Hyper Iria was pretty fun. (I like the music)
Cacoma Knight is addicting, and obnoxious
^^All SFC titles
Also, the Sailor Moon games, if youre into Sailor Moon. The beat em up is pretty legit.
are we ruling out games that are also English released like Castlevania?
and excluding RPGs due to text heaviness, what are your next favorite kind of games.
