Reminder that there is an officially localized version of the first Torneko Mystery Dungeon game that never got released, that some German dude is selling for 50k euros on eBay.

>Why would they localize the spinoff of a DW4 character?
Several reasons:
>introduce roguelikes to western console players that otherwise never heard of them (I think the only other 4th gen console roguelikes at the time were on Sega: Fatal Labyrinth and Dragon Crystal), using a familiar IP to boost awareness via brand recognition
>the story is minimal and secondary to the gameplay anyway, so it's not like you really need to have played DQ4 to understand it
>since the story is so minimal, there's not that much work translating what little text there is
Apparently an official translation of Torneko 1 was already complete, but got shelved.
