So, I can read Japanese, which probably increases the amount of games I can play by quite a bit . Do you know of any great Japanese retro games that never got an English translation?
I'm mostly looking for NES, GameBoy and Genesis games, and I'm not much into JRPGs.

You could try Kamaitachi no Yoru for the SNES.
It's a meditatively-paced murder mystery, more of a VN. It might be a bit too sedate for you, but I enjoyed the slow boil interspersed with moments of panic and crushing despair when I realized how little progress I'm making with the language

Getsu Fuuma Den is a good action RPG for the NES. It's kind of like Castlevania meets Zelda 2.

Thanks, but I'm not much into detective games, and there are much better VNs out there. Check out Saya no Uta if you haven't already (it's from 2003, so it's still within the scope of the board)

Just played through the first level, looks interesting.

If you haven't played it you should really give Sweet Home a try on the NES.

If you like srpgs at all, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 are great games.

By that extension, and you begin to like detective games OP, try Otogirisou and Machi.

If you liked the Serial Experiments Lain anime, check out the PSX game, which at the very least does a great job at capturing the anime's atmosphere.
Or just listen to the audio and watch the videos here:

Ghost Sweeper Mikami is a great SNES game, even for those who don't speak Japanese:

Its one fault is that it takes a few levels to become challenging, and for the mechanics to shine. The soundtrack should tide anyone over til then, though.

Any English games like this? I don't really play games so that sounds interesting.

I recently found out about Mizzurna Falls and I heard it's fun. I might try playing it while reading a translation on the side.
