Why is it that of the PC-98 touhous, only SoEW and HRtP are (barely) translated?

Can't the western Touhou fandom even get something as simple as this done?

the pc98 games are even worse than the kog flash games

If the PC games are considered an evolution from the PC-98 games, I don't even want to know what is the kind of dialog and plot present in those.

Why does a Touhou game need to be translated exactly?

>> No.6170992

no one translates PC-98 games to begin with. that said, I think it's not much different from translating PC games, from the technical point of view.

To be honest, SoEW is a pile of shit. Except for some melodies.

the PC-98 was hardly mainstream in Japan when those games came out, let alone when touhou became popular in the west.

The ending for Makai of HRtP was great.

The bad ending was great too, with amazing ZUNart.

People who don't like PC-98 Touhou just don't appreciate 8-bit graphics. I liked it better when every enemy except the bosses wasn't a fairy and the stages actually were fun.

God, his drawings suck even more than ZUN's art for MoF.

But, yeah, I think nobody can deny that KoG is a pretty cool guy when it comes to his relationship with the Touhou games. I would honestly not mind him, were it not for his spamfests.

>> No.6171074

>>6171063

Pretty much this. ZUN games are now about flying through countless danmaku spouted out by generic fairies with a 3D background to reach the boss. In the past, all the enemies were actually creative.

ZUN should do what Nintendo does and make a remake of Touhou 2-5 for the PC.

He's too excited about the general premise of his creation, so his skips over the details, like the background art.

Those weren't fast,nor were they everywhere. That looked rather gentle.

KoG is a cancerous wart that needs to be ISP burned off 4chan, and anybody who continues discussion about him should join him, myself included if it means getting rid of him forever.
