...Iru!

Fully translated to English by SnowyAria in 2021. Renamed as '...They're Here!'.

Fully translated to Spanish by Mr.Nobody in 2021. Renamed as '...ya están aquí!'.

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere

This game got heavily dorked in its international release. The japanese version included 2 discs and 52 missions, and featured a branching story with multiple endings, fully animated cutscenes and voice acting. The rest of the world only received 1 CD with 36 missions and a severly simplified linear storyline, without factions and no decision making. There were also slight gameplay differences between regions.

There's two major fan-translation projects of the japanese version to English, by Project NEMO (2017+) and Load Word Team (2023). With no offense to the first, the work done by Load Word Team has been largely praised as one of the most comprehensible fan-translations ever released.

This massive collab also propelled two additional translations to Spanish and Italian. The Spanish fan-translation was handled by Traducciones del Tío Víctor & friends, while the Italian was made by Load Word Team themselves.

Fully translated to English by EsperKnight and Cardogin in 2023.

Renamed as 'Addie's Present: To Moze from Addie'.

Fully translated to Portuguese by Kuroi in 2022.

No English translation of this game exists up to this point.

Air Management '96

A fan-translation of this game to English was released in 2021 by Lady Jessica. While it's considered a beta, apparently translates every text of the game with the exception of some buttons, which cannot be deciphered. Could also need a bit of testing period.

Fully translated to English by *Adventurous Translations' in 2020.

Renamed as 'Ganbare Goemon: Space Pirate Akogingu'.

Germs: Nerawareta Machi

A cautionary tale: this game received first a fan-translation to Spanish by Mr.Nobody in 2021, and then a patch to English by grundo in 2022 that received some criticism because of the use of machine-learning to change it from Spanish to English. Both translations also had many problems to fit the screen with the character limit specifications, and the accuracy may have been compromised.

But it's better than nothing, the effort is still appreciated.
