Perhaps consider getting the game in Japanese. I find that Japanese versions of retro games tend to be cheaper or more common. 
You might need a Japanese console though, or learn how to mod your console to accept those regions. Also, obviously there's a language barrier, but you could use online software to translate them. 
For example, I can read Japanese, but not understand most of it, so I simply speak or type the words onto Google Translate and it gets the job done. You're typing letters, just like in any language, so it's just a matter of looking for the correct squiggly letter over and over as you type.
