What the goddamn fuck is there to translate in a Bomberman game?
So what's the lore with these bomberman redesigns where he's more chibi and cute?The first 3 Bomberman games on N64 have the classic angry Bomberman, basically the 16 bit guy but rendered in 3D, but then Bomberman 64 (2001) uses this other design.
>>12692249Bomberman Land series is more like an RPG mixed with a minigame collection. To progress you have to understand japanese to make sense of the clues that tell you where to find the pieces. Even with a guide, tracking them down is a pain they're hidden really well, and the game only gives hints in japanese.I'm surprised someone even made a full english translation at all considering how niche the game is and how full of text it is.
>>12692223This is not the one with the Roguelike mode right? Only the PS2 version?Hope we get that one too.
>>12692267I'm not a Bomberman expert but the chibi design was originally meant for spinoff games only. It became more popular in Japan, so I assume they just put it in every other game released there. I don't know if Bomberman even has lore. I assume he's just a space ranger robot but in the Bakugaiden anime Bomberman are just normal people without mouths.

>>12692267>Release date: December 20, 2001
>>12692280Just confirmed it's the second game on the PS2 with the mode "Survival Bomberman" damn.
>>12692249it just looks nicer, that's iti don't like staring at moonrunes unless it's either vaporwave shitposting or part of an AE86 livery
>>12692249The land series is a spin off with a lot of text anon
I hear this patch has a lot of graphical errors? I saw screenshots like this around and I'm not sure if it's just an emulation issue. Can anyone in this thread confirm?
>>12692223Is it a trannylation, or a slop translation?
>>12692223I remember enjoying the DS game. I suppose this one must be just as good.
>>12692223>entirely minigames huh>>12692473a mystery dungeon bomberman sounds like a perfect fit but also absolute hell
>>12693030I've heard it's slop.
>>12693030It's apparently human-made but poorly-implemented. See: >>12692970
>>12693256Why do I feel this is a situation where>fantranslator genuinely did human translation>but they lack sufficient hacking talent so they overrely on a machine/AI for codingbetter than the other way around, but still.
>>12692970I don't get know you're nitpicking over that. The font looks weird in Japanese too so obviously it's gonna look weird in English. I can't post the screenshot but the translation's been fine so far, no grammar issues or text clipping. As long as it's playable, that's all that matters. If you're that picky about it, you might as well just learn moonrunes.
>>12693486Dude it says "welcome come" above the intended line, did you even read the screenshot.
>>12692267Wanna hear something really freaky? The PSP Bomberman Land game uses both designs. You play as the square-headed Bomberman in the overworld and about half of the minigames, and in the remaining minigames you're the chibi round-headed one.
>>12693498>One error among thousands of lines is le unplayable! That's why I said you're being nitpicky. Would you honestly rather have AI translation errors over a few human mistakes?
>>12693256The text is so mangled that I can't even tell if it's based on an AI translation or not. It reads like the hacker had to cut half the words out of an extremely literal translation of every sentence to make it fit space limits, was probably ESL, and did absolutely no context checking. AI or not, this isn't a good translation.>>12692970This is actually literally correct (original text is ウェルカムカム!). He's supposed to have a silly foreign accent, but the dialogue is so abbreviated that you can't tell and it just looks like a mistake.
>>12692436Yeah it wasn't released outside of Japan.It's actually one of the rarest and most expensive N64 games
>>12692223but that's not saturn
>>12692267I have no idea what you’ re talking about. He started off fat then they made him skinny, that’s it
>>12692267They came up with it for Bomberman Land series to babify the character. It was only used in spin-offs for a couple years, sole exception being Bomberman's first DS game, though the franchise was running on fumes at that point.
>>12692473Looks like Zelda meets Mystery Dungeon Holy shit why didn't we get that instead of Four Swords Adventure
>>12692473I've never seen footage of this before since the Land series completely passed me by and I wasn't a fan of the artdesign. Why does this look good? And this is just a mode?? Why isn't this the whole game??? 2 or 3????
