Then leave it on. These games really only count if they actually were something we could have expected to play and understand as kids. It'd be like adding in FF5 or Seiken Densetsu 3 or (for the NES) Mother 1 or Lagrange Point. Sure they're supposed to be great but if the question is who had it better back then, it doesn't count if we couldn't get it. Heck even now you're only going to play ANY of those if you import, and you wouldn't be able to play any wordy RPGs when you can't understand anything. There's unofficial translations, but if you're trying to stay legal, that's a lot of hoops to jump through.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
