Exclusive Famicom games that really need to be translated and re-released in English?
Recently picked up a bunch of famicom stuff, and was avoiding some of the games I was told are in Japanese. It made me wonder, what are some games that really need be released and translated somehow in english. While i already know a bunch that have been, I'm sure there are tons out that really need to be.
I don't have any games in mind but was thinking, what games do you think really need to be re-released in english? Either digitally or cart.
Avoid mentioning ones that have been translated.

Looking at the list of translation requests over at romhacking.net, it looks like 100 games have not been translated to English yet.
It's actually over 300, probably close to 400:

There are a few errors and I find the formatting/field naming a bit confusing, but overall this is a good overview of what's out there.

Thanks for the link! Is this something you manage?

They released the Famicom-edition Game Boy Micro here, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch. Market it as "Nintendo classics you never got to play!"
They also oddly released the ROB Famicom Colors Amiibo.

You're welcome! The list is managed by Spinner 8 over at ROMHacking.net. He also did up a list for the Super Famicom, which has a huuuuuge number of unlocalized games:

That being said, most of the really neat ones have been translated. I'd like to see more SFC games translated than FC games.

Maybe it's because I'm on mobile and maybe not getting the optimal view, but this just looks like a list of every game. I mean, Battletoads is listed.

Every Famicom game is included -- to make use of the list, you have to sort it by one of the categories. The easiest way is to sort by column H, "Untranslated?", and look at all the entries that say "Yes".
(However, the person who made the list chose to label games released in English on other platforms as translated games, which I don't agree with.)
