Japan only Nintendo published games with unoffical fan translations
Translations may or may not be complete. All translations can be found on romhacking.net unless otherwise specified.
Information on who published Satellaview game is not on wikipedia. If backloggd says Nintendo made it or its in a popular Nintendo franchise its eligible for the list.
I could also mention Pokemon Picross. Its a cancelled game and its nearly complete prototype leaked a few years back, completely in Japanese and fans were quick to completely translate it. Presumably, if it had released, it would stay in Japan same as Mario's Super Picross and Picross 2, but since it never officially released I decided it doesn't count.

The Game Boy Wars series is very strange since, aside from the original, currently untranslated first game, all of them are developed and publish by Hudson Soft not Intelligent Systems and Nintendo. I kinda figured since Game Boy Wars Turbo is an upgraded version of something Nintendo did develop it sort of belongs here.
Game Boy Wars 2 and 3 are also untranslated and all three are marked as Unfinished on romhacking.net
Edit: As of March 22, 2024, the inferior version of Game Boy Wars has received a complete fan translation on romhacking.net

While there's no patch for it yet a translation exists here(http://kirameki.altervista.org/eng/giftpia.php) I thought it was worth mentioning because there is otherwise no Nintendo published JP only Gamecube games with fan translations.
At least I thought that was true. On September 26 2023 a patch for Kururin Squash released making my previous statement outdated. Also the Nintendo Puzzle Collection has had an English translation for at least a year so Im probably just shit at research.
