BONUS: Here's the mobile phone versions of Doki Doki Penguin Land, or the ones that I could find screenshots of. There's also the BREW version from 2003, at least.

I also colorized this image from the same Ys III ending back in 2005:

You say Compile'd, I say Hudson'ed. ;)

Oh nice! I wasn't thinking that anyone would fan-translate this one. Took me a while to realize that it's the PS2 version that's being talked here. I wonder if Ys IV PS2 is going to be fan-translated to English too.

Idol Project is pretty good, indeed! Seems to have been popular enough in Japan to get a sequel and also 4 OVA episodes.

For a moment I thought this was a rage bait post. (:

Lushiris, the Goddess of Light from "Der Langrisser" (Super Famicom, 1995). This game is a remake of Langrisser 2. Thanks to Zenkerdus for letting me know about this orb girl.

Familiar with Yume Tairiku Adventure/Penguin Adventure for the MSX, where Hideo Kojima was an assistant director for (uncredited)? In that game the trigger to get the good ending is how many times you've paused the game. I bet that was one of his ideas!

Ah, thank you! It has now been added. (:
