/vr/ - Retro Games

Ladystalker is a very eop friendly by the way.
Just pull by the bootstraps and do it.

i think there's a japanese only bomberman out there, but i dont remember which

>>9502360
There is a couple bomberman rpgs on gameboy and they all double as pokemon catching games. Lots of fun.

>>9502360
The entire Bomberman Land trilogy is text heavy and untranslated.

River king 2 for super famicom
I guess that translation project /vr/ started is completely dead

>>9502343
Not that one, at least.
Anything without kanji is baby mode that anyone can read if they apply themselves and have enough patience, kanji heavy stuff is what's really worth translating.

>>9502393
By that logic everything which is written in other languages in Latin script is baby mode and is not worth translating to English.

You forgot the first River King for the Famicom. I don't think that's been translated either.

So that's where they ripped Psyduck from. Nuts to you Gamefreak stealing character designs from obscure RPGs no gaijin has ever heard of.

>>9502480
romhacking does have a translation patch for this one

>>9502480
>Duck
That's a mole...

>>9502480
Especially when you consider the fishing stuff in Poggemanz I'd be willing to guess GF were quite big fans of the River King series.

>>9502386
at least we did get the GBC port

>>9502360
There's also that full fledged Bomberman game for the wii which they only shipped the battle mode out for the west.

This so much, I'm surprised no one has finished it since it was supposedly started over a decade ago but they seem to have dropped it because they haven't updated about it in years.

didn't they like not finish translating Tom Sawyer for the Famicom?

>but that game isn't PC it's...

big deal. just do a sprite hack and redesign "that" character to be more PC. if they'd done an official localization back in the day they almost certainly would have done that anyway.

>>9502343
Never ever :(

>>9502523
Swordcraft Story Hajimari no Ishi translation patch was 100% finished, only waiting beta testing. Never released.
Samurai Spirits RPG, 99.9% finished only waiting menus. Never came out.
Princess Crown. Halfway done. Never ever.

I don't think any of the Hokuto no Ken RPGs have been translated.

Marl Kingdom 2 (Rhapsody sequel) has an expertly fan translated english script that keeps the tone of the Atlus writing. It's worth following a youtube playthrough at least if you're a language learner or a fan of these sort of anime.

>>9502393
Stuff with kanji is way easier to read though

Linda cube please

>>9502343
>Which game need english translation?

>>9502587
this is like the SNES Final Fantasies where the official localizations chopped up and mangled a bunch of stuff either out of content censorship or saving on ROM space or both

>>9502536
"Coming Soon, guys. Only a few more things!"

>when

>>9502480
oh...this is a FDS game no wonder it wasn't on Bootgod's site. doesn't appear to use the FDS sound though.

>>9502343
Dragon Quest 4 for PS1. If you go by remakes the first five games still follow a logical technological progression.
>1 and 2 on SNES look like basic early SNES games
>3 is a gorgeous late SNES game
>4 is on PS1 and mixes 2D and 3D, arranged MIDI soundtrack
>5 is full 3D on PS2 with orchestral music
Currently the main options to play DQ4 in America are the NES version (NES RPGs never feel good, don't even bother with the reply) or the DS version (made for two handheld screens instead of one screen, gimped audio quality compared to PS1).

what makes retro vidya only released in jap part of the *holy grail* of eng translation?

>>9502870
I suppose they could always translate Spanish adventure games for the Amstrad CPC if you prefer that instead.

>>9502409
pretty much

>>9502859
>(NES RPGs never feel good, don't even bother with the reply)
funny that, until browsing /vr/ the idea had never occurred to me that i wasn't having any fun playing NES RPGs and was actually suffering

>>9502926
At least with some, like Lagrange Point, you can jam out to the catchy tunes while you suffer.

>>9502921
Okay, there's no reason to translate Turkish RPG about medieval vampires, it is written in Latin script anyway, who cares if it is not in an Indo-European language, just stop being lazy and pick up a dictionary.

>>9502931
Just ocr the words on screen
You're being ironic but it's really that simple

>>9502870
People used to say chip enhanced stuff like Star Ocean and Tengai Makyou Zero were holy grails of rom translation due to difficulty of spaghetti programming.

>>9502343
Tengai Makyō series
Monster Maker series

>>9502343
sir please do the needful sir

>>9502952
I see that you did not grow up with pirated PC games which had their text "translated" by throwing them into PROMT and pressing whatever it threw up onto CD.

>>9502343
Recommend some baby level japanese games
I suck at katakana so pls be kind

it's just like...idk man, RPGs don't get good at all until SNES. NES ones are just too fucking primitive. SNES RPGs actually feel like you're on an epic adventure. NES RPGs are just like...move some pixelated 3 color cardboard cutouts around a static background like a slideshow over bleepy music.

NES RPGs are more cute than powerful.

>>9502536
This game is really good!

>>9502343
Just learn Japanese. In the time that it takes for. Single game ti be translated you could easily reach a level in Japanese where you can play whatever you want and you don't have to worry about shit like tranny translators who change stuff that they don't like.

more Super Robot Wars

I'd like to see that weird KOF Kyo rpg get english. There's a spanish one but no habla.

>>9502343
The Hybrid Front.
At this point is easier to just learn nip, though.

PCE stuff has barely been touched because not many Westerners have access to hardware to play it on (you'd have to emulate in most cases) and CD games have voice acting so you'd need to redub all of that in English and have friends/co-workers willing to record dialog.
