Wish I knew how to read Japanese.

Always seeing JP versions of Turbo Duo games on Ebay going for next to nothing while US versions going for outrageous prices makes me wish I had learned how to speak and read Japanese when I was younger.  I understand why the JP versions are so cheap.  Just wish the Turbo Duo had been more popular over here in the States then maybe the game prices wouldn't be so damn high.

More importantly, there are a bunch of games that are Japanese only.

Thank God for xenophobia or I'd never be able to afford these games.

Is there something stopping you from learning it now?

Very true.  Now that I think about it, there are a few games that I wish would have came out in the US.

Too old.  No time.  Looks like a bitch to learn.

Have you tried playing on a LCD monitor and using google translate on your phone? It works well for a lot of games

There's not that many US games where the language really matters.  Unless it's an RPG (or has a few RPG elements), the PCE version is perfectly playable.

Google translate...it works...kinda

I'd say that's about on par with period translations of TG-16 games.

I'm a fan of RPGs.  I have Ys 1, 2 and 3.   And have Cosmic Fantasy 2.  Wish I could get 3 but they never released it over here.  I've only played one RPG in JP and that was for the Genesis.  A buddy bought it from a game sales ad out of a magazine(before the Internet) and didn't realize it was the JP version.  So it gave it to me.  I ended up beating it. At least I think I did.  And I remember how much of a pain that was.  Don't want to deal with that again.

The game was Shining in the Darkness for anyone wondering.

I wish I could too.  Just start slow with learning a few Kanji or Hiragana symbols in a game menu and build from there.  I'm not very good, but just gaining a bit of experience here and there from a few games/movies, I have started to understand a few words, and can figure out the difference between "confirm" or "decline".  lol

And the WD translation:
