Saturn Japan-exclusives (and PAL-exclusives) with low-language-barrier + fan translations
List extracted from the Saturn Champion Collection, a "one game one rom" set on archive.org that includes one file for every English-playable game
every Sega Saturn game Japan has been hiding from the rest of the world that you can play WITHOUT knowing Japanese
I encourage you to switch the sorting to "Avg Rating" or "Popularity" to prioritize showing you good games instead, or to "Trending"
also check out my PS1 PAL-exclusive English game list (https://www.backloggd.com/u/PZT/list/ps1-europe-and-europejapan-exclusives-all-english-games-that-werent-released-in-america/)
and my similar, even longer PS1 Japan-exclusives with low-language-barrier list (https://www.backloggd.com/u/PZT/list/ps1-japan-exclusives-with-low-language-barrier--fan-translations/)
PAL-exclusives are tacked onto the end of this list due to there not being enough of them to justify its own list
