>13 classic games>no eng translationJUST
>fan translation is by right-wing chuds
>>12566590>"fan" of Japanese media for 3 decades>hasn't learned Japanese
>>12566593>Actually based AS BASED.
>>12566590Too Japanese and unappealing
>>12566590I really, REALLY, want to play the Game Boy RPGs. The sad thing is that the chances of something like that being ever translated is really low and not even AI translation work at all with Game Boy games due to the font size.
>>12566590I'm really disappointed by this. At the very least they could just have it up for sale digitally as is, it's not like you actually have to be able to read to play most of these games. What's even more baffling though is Konami actually has gone out of their way to translate previously Japan only games for their other collections. The Yugioh Collection they put out had like 6 entire games with all new translations in it. I guess for Goemon it would be a little more work since only 1 of the games in this collection ever came out in the west but it's not like they're very text heavy they should be able to pull it off. I wouldn't be surprised if some executive saw the poor sales of the few games we did get literally 30 years ago and unironically used that to inform their decision to not bring this over.Oh well, the collection doesn't even have the best 2 Goemon games in it(the N64 games) so it would've been disappointing anyway.
>>12566609I actually wouldn't be surprised with how many of the Goemon games have been fan translated already. All the ones we currently have are relatively recent, so maybe whoever's doing them will get to it eventually.
>>12566593Hate that faggot. Didn't the translator quit because of the harassment he got over correctly translating an offensive word to an equivalent offensive word in another language?
>>12566593>right-wing chudsOr the average Jap or American from the 80's and 90's. Guess you're going to have give up your retro gaming hobby, because what you call right wing chudism today used to be liberalism back then. Get the fuck off of this board, commie. It isn't for you.
>>12566626Anon, the person you're responding to is clearly a chud having a laugh, chill out.
>>12566593Tranny probably is the closest word to newhalf. The uncensored version of Yakuza 4 also translated newhalf bar into “tranny bar”. No one gave a shit back then. I had no idea that hardcore gaming 101 site was ran by a bunch of whiny newhalfs.
>>12566593Damn, it's really been 6 years since that incident...Worse part is that the guy who did the translation wasn't even aware at the time that "tranny" was considered a slur.
>>12566618I remember he got depressed over the whole situation and quit the ROMhacking scene temporally.Thankfully, however, he eventually returned like a year later to help with new fan-translation projects, like SNES Tokimeki Memorial.
>>12566590>None of the PS1 Goemon games>OR the N64 games.This collection is bogus.
>>12566703I hope they'll at least put the N64 games on the Switch N64 app. There's no good reason that they've never rereleased them, they skipped Virtual Console on Wii and Wii U too.
>>12566710>I hope they'll at least put the N64 games on the Switch N64 appIf they haven't done it before, or now, they are probably never going to do it.by the time they do nintendo is probably gonna shut their switch online servers to get Switch 1 users to migrate to swtich 2.
those post PS1 Goemon games are gonna skyrocket in price
>>12566656If I were a tranny I would call myself such, because the word is adorable. It sounds like a cute and fun thing to be. If it's a slur then it's one that's ripe for reclamation.
>>12566590>japanese games about japan>official emulated release>import onlynot sure what you were expecting>>12566730this, troon is the funny slur
>>12566610I bought a N64 to play one of the Goemon games and I didnt like itI spent almost 2 days and couldnt beat it, it seemed half finishedI think Bōken Jidai Katsugeki Goemon is a better gamePlus Ganbare Goemon: Ooedo Daikaiten is already full translated, I want to play it
>>12566760Sorry to hear you lack taste.
at least we are getting Culdcept
>>12566609>I really, REALLY, want to play the Game Boy RPGs. one of them is a pokemon clone and the other one looks like ass. stick with the two fc rpgs that are actually translated
>>12566590I've never played Goemon before. Is the first N64 one a good starting point?
>>12567925Yeah, both the N64 games are great. The SNES one is good too. Once you’ve done with those look into the translated roms of the super famicom games. The second one is kino.
>>12566610The N64 games are my favorite in a nostalgic sense and I love that MNSG makes OoT boys seethe (although I love both), it is undeniable that Ganbare Goemon 2 is the shining star of the series and may be the best (or at the very least, most well rounded) co op action platformer of all time. My only complaint is that you realize it is a little front loaded after beating it, but you should be drinking and playing it with a girl anyway so the only thing that should be front loaded by the the of the game is P2.>T. Autist who used to sing I AM IMPACT to himself in elementary school who now has autist children playing Ganbare Goemon. I think I might have even busted to Goemon saying "Yaoooooh!"
>>12566590I like to own physical copies and have been eyeing this upcoming collection. Would I be doing myself a massive disservice by playing these untranslated instead of just downloading a rom with an English patch? Are they text heavy games? I’ve only played GGA on the N64.
>>12568163Pick up this one too while you're at it.
>>12566609Frankly, I'm baffled they put Tengutou in the collection considering it wasn't made by Konami (it was made by TOSE and it shows, both in overall game design and music). Mononoke Douchuu was the better of the two gameboy RPGs desu (though that's probably not a high bar to clear).
>>12566593Is that really hg101's official account? Jesus. Fuck those guys. I bought their book, now I feel gross.
>>12566609It says "Greetings. Please choose." Hopefully this gets us started on translating this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9oN16rQzK4Playthrough of Tengutou. He provides translations of all the dialog so this should be helpful to anyone interested in making a patch.
The first Goemon console release from '86 was also the first Famicom game with 2 megabits of ROM and...oh fuck you, Konami. Just...just fuck you.
>>12568363this one didn't quite develop the humorous, absurdist style of the series yet but it's an ambitious epic sprawl of a game for 1986
>>12568347this is just medabots
>>12568305>Is that really hg101's official accountyeah
>>12568363>came out only five months after game it's theorized to have stolen stuff fromthey were quick workers
>>12568430It didn't take long to make 8-bit games most of the time.
>>12566593This is one thing about translations that kind of sucks. Not political stuff, but the fact that English text takes a lot more characters than Japanese text so you typically have to chop down dialog to fit in the ROM and the result is simplified and often missing important parts.
>>12566606you have to be a hardcore weeb to appreciate these games and i don't mean some moeblob /a/ faggot but actually appreciate a lot of Japanese history and cultural references, especially when the MC is based on a guy from 16th century folklore.
>>12568430What game is that?
>>12568568He's probably thinking about that cowboy game from Romstar that plays very similar to Goemon 2
>>12567925you should play the PC port of Goemon 64.
>>12566590>2D indie games outsell AAA titles on a daily basis>The collection is Japanese only because??
>>12567969Oh I love Ganbare Goemon 2 as well, easily my 3rd favorite and it's my favorite SNES game, I just like the N64 games a bit more.
>>12568592Well that's just the other way around then. I was expecting to find out there is some obscure western computer game that Goemon copied
>>12566593For trannies who think the Goemon series would be politically correct if only the translator was woke enough, I present Ganbare Goemon Mononoke Sugoroku for the Nintendo 64.Its story premise is about a sex pest old man who can no longer marry any girl in Japan, so after having to resort to time travel (in Goemon 3) he receives a love confession letter from a blonde. He runs to that tree, in what's a TokiMemo parody scene, and then a gust of wind blows away the dress.> ???: Tehee. Ooh my~ <3> Wise Man: Üôgh! That leg hair! It's a MAN!> Goemon: ...I knew it!> Wise Man: Ugh, ugh, ugh, uuuugh...> Wise Man: I'M NOT INTO MEN!> Goemon: *giggles*> Ebisu: In this world, things don't always go your way, eh?> Sasuke: How nightmarish, my word...Angry european tranny in tears takes out a cursed talisman to unleash evil spirits on Japan> Tranny: You really dared and looked, oh my...> Wise Man: Hmm... first of all, this one here... let's run away from it!> Tranny: Now you wait, pray do!> Everyone: HAHAHAHAHA!> Tranny: What?! Even that lot of brats is making fun of poor me!! Unforgivable... Unforgivable, oh my!!> Tranny: You wounded the HEART of a LOVELY maiden, and you'll pay with your body!> Tranny: Hear me! My poor me's cutie Mononoke-chan! Come out, my vengeful spirit!> Tranny: Now you wait! Now you croak, pray do!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKAgd_X4R88Kind reminder this is the series where the localizers solution to the naked plasma man was to make him a people of color, and that the word choice for trannies in official english versions got increasingly worse as localizations progressed (weirdo in N64, man in N64 2, transvestite in PS2)Konami's decision NOT to localize the collection was the absolute best decision they made, otherwise they would have had to retroactively censor the graphics and gameplay content even in the Japanese language options. You don't want a translation you want a censorship job and want others to do it for you
>>12566629The specific nuance for newhalf is someone who changed "half of the body to something new", so it's either man with estrogen-fueled dry boob+dickman with torso+axe woundwoman with a boob+appendage of scraped arm flesh
>>12566710>There's no good reason that they've never rereleased themThere is, actually(It even has a laugh track in the JP version)There was a manga that had to have a reprint to remove some of the slurs in Japan so that might be one reason.
>>12568163I played through the series untranslated before, so I can answer that somewhat>Goemon 1 SNES (aka Legend of the Mystical Ninja)Very low language barrier, except for the gambling minigames and... passwords>Goemon 2 SNESLow language barrier, except at some point there's some guards blocking entry and you need to buy a pass item from a shop in the same city. You'll need to explore each town/level very well and then you won't need the NPC hints. Just memorize the inn options and the yes/no options and you're set.>Goemon 3 SNESHigh language barrier. You need to talk to NPCs to advance the plot constantly between sidescrolling sections. At one point you'll be asked for a password. Still manageable with a guide unlike 4.>Goemon 4 SNESHigh language barrier. It's similar to Goemon 2 SNES but with much more sidequests where you need to understand Japanese (notably when Yae visits a brothel and has to run errands) but the really painful part was one of the boss battle minigames with a time sensitive quiz where you have to pick the proper name for an image that shows partially for a split second.>Ebisumaru SNESLow language barrier>Saraweta Ebisumaru GB>Mystical Ninja Goemon GB>Hoshizora Dynamites GBCLow language barrier for the main quest>Uchuu Kaizoku Akokingu PS1Medium language barrier, you can probably get through it by talking to everyone in each city.>Action Adventure Goemon 3D games (N64, PS2)Medium language barrier, probably needs a guide.I got surprisingly far in the DS game but there's a puzzle later on in the game involving Japanese characters on a floor.>Card game Goemon GBC game>NES RPGsHigh language barrier
I hate how it's become impossible to talk about this series without turning into modern retarded /pol/shit, because applying 2026 politics to games from the mid 90's is the smart thing to do.Next it will trigger the anon claiming that "actually Goemon is a super serious racist anti american series and they designed the games specifically so they could not release in the US" It's just humour from a time when not everything a person did was a political statement.This is also why I hope Tengai Makyou IV never gets a translation, you retards would just ruin it in an attempt to pretend that "actually the game from 1997 is defending my political view in 2026". At least as it is I got to talk with the only 2 other anons who played it without all this bullshit.
>>12568592Cowboy Kids is so similar to Goemon and so high quality (except for the graphics, in part contributed by western devs) that I'm guessing that they must have used a shadow developer that also helped Konami (or was Konami themselves, in case Konami didn't want to associate with the content, similar to Capcom and Poker Girls / Mahjong Gakuen)
>>12568950>Next it will trigger the anon claiming that "actually Goemon is a super serious racist anti american series and they designed the games specifically so they could not release in the US"But that's true in part, minus the "super serious" part. And it's more that they designed the game without giving a single fuck whether they can be localized elsewhere. When Working Designs worked on the PS2 game they alluded that Konami basically considers the franchise "too Japanese to be localizable", and Konami frequently edited-out references to Goemon in other series such as Kid Dracula's newer official translations.Ganbare Goemon 2 for the Super Famicom not only mocks "americans who love Japanese culture but want to forcibly change it into their image" right after the game that tried to change food to pizza in medieval Japan and the main cast game to ching chong stuff, but also Goemon Impact itself in the same game is a parody of bad advertisment and package art used for the 1986 Goemon game (and then in the DS game they put the reboot Goemon in prison for impersonating the real deal).Ganbare Goemon 3 and 4 are a collection of things that would make a Nintendo of America reviewer throw a fit. A transvestite nun capturing a perverted old man harassing women and exploring ideas like robotic child brides, a random church scene, manji everywhere, giant robots with giant dicks that mount each other in an improvised transformation sequence, and then LOTS of jabs thrown at other companies like Capcom, irreverent parodies of other Konami series, irreverent parodies of real-life japanese celebrities including one baseball player accused of domestic violence who has an ingame appearance doing just that...The N64 game opens up with an NPC who says that Goemon Impact is trying to start an artistic career in Europe, which got this same N64 game after a long series hiatus.Not everything is developed to be localization-friendly and creators can mock bad adaptations
>>12566590What kind of bootleg dragonball bullshit is this
>>12568952Or they reverse engineered the game to rip it off. It's not unheard of even on Famicom/NES.
>>12568950>Tengai Makyou IVOf all games you had to mention the one whose stance on america is obvious from the package art alone, that namedrops the yudaya, has a hollywood executive who sets up gas chambers for prospective blonde-haired actors, and heavily implies that modern day evangelical christianity is a satanic cult that tries to corrupt society to bring up the apocalypse faster. for sure any translation discourse around it would be a riot that would eclipse and by the way, it already has an MTL translation for the censored PSP version so you have no one to personally attack for "injecting their 2026 political views" (or more properly, fail to inject yours)
>>12569023Weirder things happened. Kid Kool was developed using materials sourced partially from Nintendo themselves which really give the impression they had access to the sprites and some of the code from Nintendo, there's the Westone mess with the Wonder Boy series, and then Tiny Toons Adventures is so close to Super Mario Bros 3 that some suspect Nintendo gave them the source code or some corporate espionage happened.
>>12569038>Tiny Toons Adventures is so close to Super Mario Bros 3 that some suspect Nintendo gave them the source code or some corporate espionage happened.No matter how important Konami was to the Famicom and NES, I very much doubt they'd have given them any game source code. In fact presumably for TTA Konami had to change their world map because Nintendo asked them to due to it being too similar to SMB3.My bet is they reverse engineered it. Serious programmer back then should have been able to build a debugger to have access to the RAM and from there you have the entire code with a bit of effort.It's funny how they left the code for the P Wing meter on the hud in TTA despite there being no such thing in the game. I love TTA though and I hate when it's reduced to just this, there is more to the game than the things it ripped off SMB3.
>>12569093>I love TTA though and I hate when it's reduced to just this, there is more to the game than the things it ripped off SMB3.Unlike Cowboy Kid which is almost entirely a complete copy of Goemon, iirc the only new thing is the auto scrolling stage(s)
>>12568890>Ganbare Goemon Mononoke Sugoroku for the Nintendo 64.Is that game fun? It's made by KCEK, so I'm interested in it. I've been playing their PS2 game as of late and it's fun so far; a bit clumsy-feeling, but that kind of goes along with the game's vibe in a way.
>>12566590Of those 13, only 4 were released in English elsewhere?
>>12568950political correctness wasn't invented in 2014, brah. surely you remember Nintendo censoring crosses and titties in the NES days?
>>12569019the 86 Goemon game is just based on Japanese history/folklore, it's no worse really than any of the Koei games about uniting feudal Japan which were localized. the later ones obviously that have tons of over-the-top pop culture and satire would be a problem.
>>12566593This is why /vr/ is the best board. We don't cotton to Newhalfs. Truly blessed.
>>12569019>Ganbare Goemon 2 for the Super Famicom not only mocks "americans who love Japanese culture but want to forcibly change it into their image" right after the game that tried to change food to pizza in medieval Japan and the main cast game to ching chong stuff>The game was critically acclaimed.[16] In March 1994, Super Play awarded it 90% and stated that the game was "even more satisfying than the original" with "much more detailed and involving" platform sections. It summarised the game as being "one of the most consistently entertaining and enjoyable games" on any system.[5] Computer and Video Games described the game as original, challenging and large, and as one of the best games released on the SNES that year.[8] Edge described the game as taking "all the best bits from the original" and simplifying them, thus mitigating the criticisms levelled at the predecessor for being too sprawling and open. It summarised the game as blending "brilliant" graphics, "great" sound and "near perfect" playability into one "explosive" package.[4] Contemporary American magazines gave it high marks lol.
>>12569142It's a board game, and not really the fun kind like Mario Party
>>12569334Famidaily said he loves all the Goemon games.
>>12569334no? there were always hardcore weebs who liked the games, they just weren't appealing to the mass audience in enough numbers to localize except on rare occasion.
>>12566593>>12566629based
>>12569020>he doesn't tknowyou're missing out. the N64 games are super comfy
>>12569337The footage I've seen reminds me of Culdcept.
