I think being specific in the 'Officially Untranslated' column would be redundant, since it's already in the 'Other' column. Sometimes the Famicom version could be different enough that they're really not the same game. QuoteI also think the 'Officially Untranslated' column could/should still get a 'Yes' - or at least a 'Yes (NES)' - if the game in question has only been translated on a different platform. Therefore, any fan translation listed in its own field would've been done as a retranslation of the original. Any row that has the 'Official Release' field filled out already has an official English release for the system. Maybe I don't know what you mean, but I think it works fine as is. But seeing 'Translated 20xx' for games like Double Dragon III and Sqoon throws me off a bit. QuoteOne thought: do you think it might be worth differentiating between 'partial translation' and 'partial re-translation'? When I'm sorting by fan translation, it'd be helpful, though of course I could just download the spreadsheet and use better sorting filters locally (better than Google Docs offers to non-editing viewers). Thanks! It is indeed nice to have it all laid out in one place. There's Japanese text in the SG-1000 version (which I translated), but I don't remember any in the NES version.? Sometimes the Famicom version could be different enough that they're really not the same game.īTW on that note, Chack'n Pop was also released on SG-1000, and that version is far, far better than the NES or MSX versions.

OTOH, the progress made on the NES library is very impressive.

It's pretty humbling to realize that over half of the SNES/Super Famicom library is still hidden behind a language barrier. These lists are great - thanks a lot for preparing them.
