This fellow called Taizo runs a site called fuji something, which has some great resources for D3 Publisher fans out there. While the US offices of D3 fiddle around with Puffy Ami Yumi and Dead Head Fred (a Stubbs the Zombie clone? That was quick), 505 Gamestreet has been localizing the budget games D3 is so well known for. What 505 Gamestreet has done though, is renamed everything. That's where fuji something comes in. He's linked almost every 505 Gamestreet title to its original game and name. Keep in mind this stuff is largely EU only, which is a shame for those of us in the states. They brought out Grasshopper Manufacture's Michigan in english. Shame we can't buy it!

taizo also has lists of all the Simple series games, even if they didn't hit western shores. He's also got other random stuff if you check around. There's a menu translation of Snowboard Champion for the GBC, for instance. In all, it's a good resource, and if you live in the EU and aren't exploiting the ability to buy stupid yet excellent (yet stupid again) D3 games in your own language, you're the worst kind of fool.
