N64 Japanese Exclusive Games - Categorised Games List for English Language - Translated, Not Translated, Playable in English etc.


Recommended Posts

Japanese exclusive games are always interesting. To non Japanese speakers it's an entirely unexplored library of games waiting to be discovered. However, the obvious barrier is the language.

We of course get fan translations to overcome this obstacle, and with their rising popularity it's awesome to play these games frustration free.

But, we also have games that don't have a translation but are still totally enjoyable. Sometimes Japanese only releases are entirely in English, or have a mix of Japanese & English with enough English to be able to play. Other times the Language barrier is there but the game itself has minimal text, menus and/or story, making it pretty easy to play.

Of course there are some games that are just unplayable unless you are fluent with Japanese text, mainly RPG story based games or 'menu bashing' games. I tested the games without a translation to see if the language barrier was an issue, then take note of the ones that are totally playable for me as an English only speaker & reader (with a low tolerance for frustration).

So, below is the FULL list of ALL 85 Japanese Exclusive N64 Games. Categorised into Translated, Untranslated: Still Playable & straight up unplayable.

There are 21 Games Translated - 11 Untranslated: Still Playable  - 53 Untranslated: Unplayable

Hopefully this list will help you to get the most out of the N64 library while not wasting space with unplayable games.
