This site is all about Famicom.  This list is about Famicom.  Theoretically, there is no reason for thread to be deleted or locked.

I meant you can get all of the games from there and call it a done deal..for now.  Instead of waiting for our input, you could go there and almost completely finish the list.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

I think the fan translation vs 1st party translation is a good point though, as most 1st party translations are INFERIOR to fan translations.

Localisation by a publisher is not just about translation, it's about adaptation.  Many things get changed, depending on how text heavy the games are.  It's now gotten to the point where European English translations are different to the North American states versions in some cases, so I think it's absolutely fin to count Rockman 2 and Metroid as fan translations if they are different enough, regardless of whether there is a US version or not.

Personally I like playing Rockman 2 in English rather than Megaman 2, it just feels more 'famicom' to me.

Another good example is the fan translation of Rockman and Forte, it's quite different to the Capcom translation.

Ah, right.  Well, OK, but I need to do that on a computer, since I can't copypaste on a Wii.  And the list will always be expanding, too.

I really wish Castlevania 2 for the FDS was translated to English...

I've heard the English translation is pretty accurate.  That is, the dialog in the game didn't make much sense in Japanese, either.

If you are talking about the Famicom DIsk System version of the game, that doesn't appear to have an English translated release.

I meant Simon's Quest for the NES.  It's the same game, but translated into English.

Yea but I was hoping there would be an english translated version of the FDS game. The FDS game supports saving which is a huge advantage over having to input a mile long password.

Anyone know if there is an English translation patch for either of the Zelda FDS games?
