Unless you're referring to a commercial game or that one, awful 3 minute hentai game.

Well, if you count dating same in the lot then there is also the Sakura War franchise.

now you're talking... in fact, I really wish they'd translate those games and re-port them for the PC or some console available in the US....
after all, they're doing that for some of the older Final Fantasy ones.. (and I mean the ones before FF7)

FF is a generic label now because Square was able to "occidentalize out" the game serie (lot of FMV, occidental character, big scenarii show hollywood type). If Enix hadn't merge with Square the Dragon Quest series would have never been out of Japan too.

Sakura War is a niche game (aka tactical dating sim) men oriented so it's really difficult to make it to the west, and the franchise now only count on the fan base because imho the game died after SW2 (the Paris part was the best of the serie, because they did an awesome and extremely precise work on info gathering) : that mean goodies and concert, which is not possible outside Japan.

Te-he-he...
Actually, Sakura Wars got it's way out of the Japan. But not in English domain! In fact, it was officially translated and legally released in <fanfaraes> RUSSIA!!! prooflink: http://ru.akella.com/Game.aspx?id=374
I think, it is a first time when Russia beats English domain in anything anime-related... A am soooooo proud of my Motherland...

I don't count fan translating in the lot because in that case 80% of japanese games can be considered as translated (most popular Hgame are translated in China and Korea few month after release, 3D Hgames are done by HF US teams...).

Translating by illegal means is a thing, getting it to be released translated in the general public market is another (and also english script translations of Sakura series were often up few weeks after release when the english fandom was big)
