Why are Sega franchises uniquely predisposed to forum posts about the age of consent?

>>9630184
Oh my god no think of all the virtual pain it will cause the virtual victim!!! THINK OF THE VIRTUAL CARTOON JAPANESE ANIME CHILDREN WITH ALIEN EYES!!!!

I think Sega was founded by Jews

>>9630184
Why do it in a game when you already do it in real life?

>>9630184
You say that as if 8 year olds aren't hot. Pic related for example.

>>9630349
i mean, wasnt the founder a guy from new york?

There's even a slot minigame where you have to match the iris clothes.

Shut the fuck up, you pedophile apologist. You're lucky you can get away with saying this shit with the anonymity of 4chan

She's ten. She says that in game, damn it. The relationship is more "young kid with crush on her teacher" then anything more.

>>9630956
what is it with Japan and Playboy bunny suits? they're like fucking everywhere. I recall even Dragon Quest had those

>>9631674
But the Chinese girl is the best girl anyway.

>>9631679
you'd see them more outside japan but playboy owns the rights

what anime?

>>9633231
Sakura Taisen.

>>9630184
I think Iris was 9 and Coq was 11.

>>9630864
This series introduced and got me addicted to koikoi hanafuda. Played that minigame so much I had to seek out some discreet bespoke hanafuda games.

>>9631685
Wrong. Tsubaki and Mel are best.

>>9632110
A true 1920's experience...
(However, Iris > RIkaritta >>>>>> Coquelicot >>>>>>>>> Azami)

Which Saturn emulator to use for this?

Is sakura taisen 2 already translated?

>>9633915
Careful anon, plenty of stuff has been nearly fully translated for over 10 years.

>>9633750
Mednafen

>>9633954
>plenty of stuff has been nearly fully translated for over 10 years.
Wasn't the original Saturn game only recently translated?

Besides SW5 the whole series has been untranslated. Translations for 2 and 3 are in the works however.

>>9631679
>even
I actually think that Toriyama was the one to popularise that shit there

>>9630184
saturn gamers are creepy as fuck

Wait before you see the PC Engine CD/Turbografx-CD library

>>9634159
That begs the question: why are they translating the Saturn verions of 1 and 2 if the superior Dreamcast versions can be translated?

>>9630184
anything but the cartoon characters! ANYTHING BUT THE CARTOON CHARACTERS! is nothing sacred anymore?!?!?!?!

>>9631679
In the US bunnygirl outfit is copyrighted by Playboy and they actively enforce their rights on it. In Japan it is not copyrighted and when it was introduced to the Japanese audience there was nobody to police its usage in media.

>>9634159
>laughs in Russian

>>9634885
How good are the Russian translations, are they well written and well edited, or are they spotty like a lot of early text heavy translations were in the '90s?

That's a tongue in cheek, wink and a nod jab from an actual retro gaming magazine, dear tranny janny.

>>9633394
For me it was fate/hollow ataraxia. It made me like koikoi so much I opened ebay and bought a couple Napoleon decks. I recommend giving it a try, it's got a couple interesting twists on it, though you'll have to grab a save for the VN if you don't want to read through it (it's an amazing read but it's a sequel for f/sn).

>>9634898
I'm just repeating what someone else told me here:
The first game is awful, most of the scenes are barely coherent.
The second, a passionate fan contacted them and was willing to translate it for cheap. He did a fine job, but there wasn't an editor so you can tell it's a rough first draft. The game also has bugs and crashes not present in the original game due to poor conversion.
It's still better than nothing in the end.

>>9634829
It's easier. For what it's worth it isn't a perfect port and the windowed presentation doesn't benefit from the Dreamcast's higher resolution nearly as much as ST3 and 4 did, and the final PC version is the best content wise.

It is worth to learn Japanese only to play Japanese shit?

>>9635297
Do you want to play Japanese shit? Yes? Then do it. No? Why are even ask?

>>9634885
As a guy from Russia, this shit is just so bizarre. Even more so than the Sakura Wars game on the GBC

floigan bump

>>9635202
>The first game is awful, most of the scenes are barely coherent.
It isn’t THAT awful, but pretty bad, yeah. Second is way better. And what makes me mad even many years after, SW3 was also fully translated, but ultimately canned and publisher went bankrupt soon after.
Gotta give it to Russian localization team, they worked without any support from Sega whatsoever and had to create tools to insert translated text from scratch.

>>9634885
Step aside, Anon!

>>9637297
Oops wrong pic.

>>9635297
Go ahead. I attempted it awhile back and sort of realized that I wasn't missing much. I need to learn it better, but I also find a lot of Japanese to be dry. I still remember one of my Japanese professors called his own mother tongue a "robot language" and I think that's harsh, but there's something to it.

>>9635285
I played the PSP versions of 1 and 2 which I thought were supposed to the best apart from slighly compressed audio. Playing on a PStv at 1080i the text was far clearer than I could get from my Dreamcast although granted that may be different for people who output VGA or HDMI.

>>9635297
Nope. All it did was make anime/vidya obvious that the voice acting is REALLY bad. Like so bad it makes the dubs seem genuinely amazing. So many fake layers of attempting to sound like a trope instead of a person.

>>9637478
a real blackpill

>>9637478
>watch cut and paste anime
>complain about trophes
You are like someone who learns English to watch Adam Sandler movies and complains all hollywood movies are the same.

>>9637478
What a fucking retarded opinion. First, you don't need to know the language to understand the quality of voice acting. If you can't pick up basic stuff like tones and emotions, you have autism and no amount of language learning will help. Try doujin games and bad TV dramas to see what poor Japanese acting really is like.
Secondly, complaining an actor sound like a trope is idiotic. That's literally the point, nobody is going to complain that the moeblob character sounds like a moeblob (except you, it seems). It's like watching marvelshit and wondering why the acting isn't naturalistic.

>>9637297
3 on the PS 2...
>>9637308
4 on the PC...

What fucked up timeline do you live in?

>>9637473
That compressed audio also means it doesn't have any of the extra voice acting other ports added, I think.

>>9638016
You mean there are less unvoiced lines or that there are bonus features it is missing? If it is the former that kind of sucks since I didn't like that a small but noticeable amount of the games were unvoiced. It is so fucking retarded there isn't a simple user powered website like hltb that shows the differences between ports of all games.

>>9638306
IRIS NO!

corny translation, they should have left it onii-chan

>>9638529

t. weeb-kun

>>9638550
She isn't literally calling him her brother though. It changes the meaning and implies she defaults to French when she doesn't.

>>9638529
>onii-chan or Ichirou
Who was right?

>>9638306
Damn brat! Seducing her commander! Correction needed!

>>9637308
I've also got the typhoon games Sega pc release, can't find any information of it online, and it looks like yours is a different release to mine. I think mine may have come from Hong Kong, idk I picked it up in an op shop years back for around $2 lol

>>9638529
- No, oni-chan, but mon fre
- After he had taken GG Bridget, the skeleton hand Is aiming for Reni
- JeanPaulbrosandsis, I have a bad feeling.

>>9638529
Even the fan-translations are taking dumb artistic liberties.

>>9639626
Fan translations have on average probably always been worse for it, given that most are made for either attention whoring purposes, and/or by people looney enough to force their own head canon. You need a specific kind of autistic that's only doing it for its own sake to be better than people getting paid, at least a reasonable percentage of which are going to not be wildly incompetent or going outside their job description.

>>9637478
This opinion makes no fucking sense and ignores like all but one aspect of voice acting.

>>9637272
>SW3 was also fully translated, but ultimately canned and publisher went bankrupt soon after.
Was it ever leaked?

>>9639397
Kek

God I hope the translations of 3 and 4 are quicker. I don't know why the fuck the translation team did the Saturn versions of 1 and 2 when surely it'd have been easier to inject the script into the DC versions, no? I realize I'm talking out my ass but I dunno, it doesn't make sense.

>>9638529
>mon frere
Why does she speak like a french nafri?

>>9639673
>ou need a specific kind of autistic that's only doing it for its own sake to be better than people getting paid
If I thought I was the only person on the planet capable of translating my favourite text heavy game to English I would do it. In reality though everything worth translating will be translated on a long enough timeline, it isn't my problem if the translation they make is sub-par and I ain't working for free. I am sure most people think the same way and that just leaves the weird people who want to ensure people too lazy to learn Japanese can play 90s dating simulators.

>>9640571
>In reality though everything worth translating will be translated on a long enough timeline
Of course it won't. Do you have any idea about how many Japanese-only games there are? PC Engine and Saturn libraries are still mostly untouched, and let's not even talk about computer games. And some officialy "localized" games are such in a sorry state they basically need to be translated again.
It's also not a translator issue anyway since hacking is the bottleneck for fan-translations. It's not the 90s' anymore when nobody could speak Japanese for shit and going "konichiwa sushi" would get you a job at Working Design.

>>9637297
Sega sis…

>>9639626

It's been that way for a while actually, but not enough people noticed until somewhat recently.

>>9641884

You clearly don't remember DeJap translations.
