Why do we need a translation of a game that already came out 7 years ago in the US? I've played the Japanese version and it's the exact same game as the English version, minus things like Food, the exclusion of 2 song genres but the inclusion of Enka and a tiny bit of different clothing. The rooftop functions the exact same as the Observation Tower. There's no real reason to translate a game that's already come out in the west...
It's been a while since I have posted in the forums and since the 3DS is almost a legacy console at this point (but still my fave console to play in my spare time), might as well post these translation requests that have not been requested yet.

Game Name: Super Robot Taisen BX 3DS
Developer/Publisher: Banpresto/Namco Bandai Games
Release: August 20, 2015
Genre: Strategy/Tactical RPG
Does it have lots of text?
Yes. The SRT series have been a text-heavy game ever since.
Why I don't think this will come out in the West?
No new games will come out on the 3DS ever again? This might be the same answer to all my requests.
What is it about?
Super Robot Wars BX is the second Super Robot Wars to be developed for the Nintendo 3DS. It once again brings back the amazing cutscenes during battle which is the signature of the series.
Since its last appearance in Super Robot Wars Destiny, BX marks the return of Universal Century Gundam back to SRW for a Nintendo-handheld system, though like Super Robot Wars UX did with Kouji Kabuto, BX is the first licensed-SRW to exclude Amuro Ray in a game containing the Universal Century.
Notably, this game is the first time the Eldoran Series (represented by Rajin-Oh) and the Brave Series (represented by GaoGaiGar) collaborate for a Super Robot Wars installment. Also, Raijin-Oh makes its first 2D SRW appearance, as it was exclusively on 3D-based installments.
Popularity in Japan:
SRT games are BIG in Japan. They have a life-size Gundam for God's sake.

Why I think it needs to be translated?
It's an SRT game. Nuff said.
What I can do to help:

Yes. It's a text-heavy RPG.
Why I don't think this will come out in the West?
No new games will come out on the 3DS ever again? This might be the same answer to all my requests.
What is it about?
In this world, players participate in "Hero Battles" using Bankfon Gs, which allows them to rent powerful hero suits and fight battles against other players, receiving power boosts from the public. Kaito Gōshō, a young elementary school student who is always eager to help others, ends up hastily signing a contract to rent the powerful hero suit, Enter the Gold, from a mysterious priest named Sennen. However, he soon learns that this suit comes with a debt of 10 billion yen, which Kaito must now payback by winning Hero Battles.
An anime television series adaptation by TMS Entertainment began airing on April 7, 2014 and ended on March 30, 2015.

Game Name: Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary
Developer/Publisher: SEGA, Sonic Team
Release: December 15, 2011 (Nintendo 3DS Version)
Genre: "falling block puzzle game"
Does it have lots of text?
Yes, it does. Most notably the Adventure Mode, Lessons Mode, and Popoi's Shop.
Why I don't think this will come out in the West?
At this point the Nintendo 3DS is basically dead, and SEGA didn't gave a chance to release any 3DS Puyo Puyo localized game, during the Puyo Puyo Tetris localization impact. You could say that it was too late to be localized.
What is it about?
Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary is the second anniversary game in the series (the first one being Puyo Puyo!! 15th Anniversary), sharing similarities with said game. In this game, you get a bunch of different rules to have fun with, some returning ones (SUN, Puyo Puyo 2, Original, Fever), and some new ones (Gust, Slots, Mini Excavation Puyo, Active, etc.). The game tells the story, as a direct sequel to Puyo Puyo 7, in which Ringo, Maguro and Risukuma, gets blown to another world, because of Ris' gone-wrong experiment. The new cast is now trapped in Primp Town, with a bunch of familiar faces such as Amitie and Arle Nadja. At this point, the Adventure mode divides itself in different stories, depending of which character you choose.
Popularity in Japan:
Puyo Puyo is a pretty popular franchise in Japan, being as popular as other franchises like Pokémon and Kirby. While 20th Anniversary was not good at sales, it surely was a pretty good game, even being considered by many fans as "highly-recommended" to check it out.
Screenshots:

Why I think it needs to be translated?
Thanks to the popularity of the Nintendo DS English Fan-Translation meda by Precise Museum, and the current "barely-finished" state of the Puyo Puyo Chronicle English Fan-Translation, this version of the game should get the same treatment of getting it's own translation. Also, the 3DS version is far superior to the DS version, having some little additives with the camera, better sound and image quality, voice acting, and extra bonuses, but it was never translated. This could also be an opportunity to use the official localized names of certain characters in these translations, such as "Dark Prince".
What I can do to help:
Mostly a revision of the Precise Museum and FlareHabanero English Translation of Story Mode, so it can be in-pair to the Puyo Puyo Tetris English localization. If possible, and if people is willing to support, i can also work in a full Spanish translation of the game, but mostly Text.

Game Name: Aikatsu! Cinderella Lesson (アイカツ! シンデレラレッスン)
Developer/Publisher: Bandai Namco Games
Release: November 15, 2012
Genre: Rhythm/JRPG
Does it have lots of text?
Yes, 100%. There are aspects that are definitely similar to being a visual novel, so not being able to play it translated in English is really missing a lot of the "story" and these aspects of the games.
Why I don't think this will come out in the West?
It has been almost 10 years since it's release, and Aikatsu is so incredibly niche that even the 400+ episode anime has not gotten an official English translation. This, and also the fact that the Aikatsu games are extremely girly games. These kinds of games are unfortunately seldom translated.
What is it about?
It's a rhythm JRPG based around the concept of being an Idol, and doing Aikatsu! (aidoru katsudou, or idol activites). You get to make your own idol insert for the game and play as her.
The main game is a rhythm game, but it also has a lot of cute mini games such as decorating nails, putting makeup on idols, playing piano, etc. You get to become friends with beloved anime idols (like Ichigo Hoshimiya) and do idol activities with them, which to me just fills my inner child!
There's a really cool aspect of the game where you use "Aikatsu Cards", and they actually exist in real life. You can scan them into your game, and actually have your character wear the outfits that are on the cards! It's pretty laid back, but honestly.. I may be biased, but this stupid little game is actually a lot of fun and I really enjoy it.
Popularity in Japan:
While I can't speak specifically for this game, Idol anime and games have increasingly grown in popularity in Japan, including Aikatsu. Aikatsu has had several anime series, one of them running from about 2012-2016. There have also been several movies for those series. In fact, a new Aikatsu movie just released in July this year! There is an incredible amount of different medias for it, including Manga, 3DS games, Arcade machines, Aikatsu cards, etc. Over the years there have even been Aikatsu themed pop-up cafes/or food items in restaurants. It's a shame that it's not more popular in the US.

Why I think it needs to be translated?
I personally believe that a lot of the super girly kids games are slowly dying out, not only becoming harder to find but almost not even existing in English spaces. I have done a lot of research and I am yet to find a single English guide for any of the Aikatsu games. I started watching Aikatsu when I was about 12-13, and have essentially grown up with it. It's a very passionate love for me..
There is a certain mini-game that is essentially a quiz, and unfortunately is TIMED. This one is excruciating/almost impossible to play without an English translation because you can't read what the question or answers are, and there is not enough time to look through a dictionary or use a translator. Luckily it IS a kids game so it uses very simple language/not much kanji (and most kanji have furigana attached), but someone who has no knowledge/very very little knowledge of Japanese most likely won't be able to get past some parts.
I want to share these games with the world!
What I can do to help:
I am not extremely well versed with game design/or coding, but if there are any still images/PNGs I can definitely help with any editing or art that needs to be done! I am not well enough versed in Japanese to be able to translate >w<z
Thank you, I am excited just thinking about the idea of this getting translated!! I have ROMs for the Aikatsu games as well as a physical copy with a Japanese 3DS hahah I just love them so much

You can scan them into your game, and actually have your character wear the outfits that are on the cards! It's pretty laid back, but honestly.. I may be biased, but this stupid little game is actually a lot of fun and I really enjoy it.
Popularity in Japan:
While I can't speak specifically for this game, Idol anime and games have increasingly grown in popularity in Japan, including Aikatsu. Aikatsu has had several anime series, one of them running from about 2012-2016. There have also been several movies for those series. In fact, a new Aikatsu movie just released in July this year! There is an incredible amount of different medias for it, including Manga, 3DS games, Arcade machines, Aikatsu cards, etc. Over the years there have even been Aikatsu themed pop-up cafes/or food items in restaurants. It's a shame that it's not more popular in the US.

Why I think it needs to be translated?
I personally believe that a lot of the super girly kids games are slowly dying out, not only becoming harder to find but almost not even existing in English spaces. I have done a lot of research and I am yet to find a single English guide for any of the Aikatsu games. I started watching Aikatsu when I was about 12-13, and have essentially grown up with it. It's a very passionate love for me..
There is a certain mini-game that is essentially a quiz, and unfortunately is TIMED. This one is excruciating/almost impossible to play without an English translation because you can't read what the question or answers are, and there is not enough time to look through a dictionary or use a translator. Luckily it IS a kids game so it uses very simple language/not much kanji (and most kanji have furigana attached), but someone who has no knowledge/very very little knowledge of Japanese most likely won't be able to get past some parts.
I want to share these games with the world!
What I can do to help:
I am not extremely well versed with game design/or coding, but if there are any still images/PNGs I can definitely help with any editing or art that needs to be done! I am not well enough versed in Japanese to be able to translate >w<z
Thank you, I am excited just thinking about the idea of this getting translated!! I have ROMs for the Aikatsu games as well as a physical copy with a Japanese 3DS hahah I just love them so much
Hey, I hope this is ok to ask here, but does anyone know what's going on with the Atelier Rorona 3DS translation? I've done a bit of searching here and I haven't found anything on it.

Game Name: Girl's RPG: Cinderellife
Developer/Publisher: Level-5
Release: March 8, 2012
Genre: Life Simulation, Fashion game
Does it have lots of text?
Yes, mostly speech bubbles
Why I don't think this will come out in the West?
The game is controversial in Japan, due to the game having you become a hostess
What is it about?
It's a modern Cinderella story where you, a plain girl, is trying to find a magical lucky butterfly and true love. You become a hostess, speaking to clients to meet your goals through dialogue, mini games, and dressing up. The outfits in the game are very cute and there's a lot of variety in hair and dresses. I played through it a bit too, though I don't know any Japanese.
Popularity in Japan:
It sold 9,519 copies in its first week and 31% of it's shipment to stores.

Why I think it needs to be translated?
Fans of Style Savvy and fashion games would most likely enjoy this game. Level-5 clearly doesn't want to translate it due to the topic they used in the game (hostesses) even if the game is rated 15+. Not only that, the game released in 2012, so it's been plenty of time for the game to be localized, just for Level-5 not to do so.
What I can do to help:
I can help proofread and test the patch for the game. My 3DS is homebrewed.
