Not English, not Japanese but a secret third thing

A topic I’ve become fascinated with is games that are available in neither English nor Japanese (especially for non-PC platforms), since most games released on consoles are available in one or both of those two languages.

There’s a lot of games that are based on European properties, like game shows and children’s books.

For examples:

Benjamin Blümchen: Ein verrukter Tag im Zoo - GBC

17452852638065403810347625015718

Bibi und Tina Fohlen “Felix” in Gefahr - GBC

Schlag den Star (series) - Switch/PS4

Slide Stars op avontuur met Freek Vonk! - Switch/PS4

There seems to be other ones based on European shows out there too.

What other games do you know of that don’t have English or Japanese translations? Especially console games.

I’d assume that most of them will be based on German, French, Chinese and Korean properties.

This is the absolutely way too ambitious to actually be playable nonsense I love to see from European microcomputers.

Fantasia Sango II is probably one of the top of my lists of “want to play but can’t” along with Sword and Fairy’s 2 - 5 and most of the Xuan Yuan series
