Namco X Capcom... in English?!!
Anus Mcphanus | 4:32 AM on 02.26.2008 14 comments


Holy mother of sweet baby Jesus!

I don't know if this is old news but I just found out that Namco X Capcom is being translated into English!



The best part is that the game is already in the beta testing stage ^__^ I say already even though the game was originally released in 2005 but considering this was never meant to see the light of day outside of Japan I am now crying sweet tears of joy!

For those not in the know Namco X Capxom is a strategy RPG which shockingly features characters from Namco and Capcom games much in the same vein as the Super Robot series of games in Japan which features various mechas from different anime series.




Now I doubt this is on the legal side of things so God knows how you'll be able to obtain the game once it's fully translated....my guess is it'll be leaked as a torrent which you can download and play on a modded PS2.

Just thinking about this game is making me cream myself....so check out this video to see some of the game in action. Sorry it doesn't seem to have an embedding option or maybe I've gone blind.....I'm going to go change my underwear....

I would love to play this. But i know the fanboy references would be too much for even me to keep up with and would constantly grate on my soul :(
lem's Destructoid Blog
Dammit, i thought you meant an official release.
This is pure awesome in my books though regardless
Cowboy TTop's Destructoid Blog
I hope its an official release, as I as never understood why we got Under the Skin and The Gregory Horror Show, but not Namco x Capcom.

If not, its worth importing, despite the japanese. I do want.
lem's Destructoid Blog
Also, i wonder how much it costs to mod ones ps2 now-a-days.
Just asking for research sake.. not to actually go and do it myself or anything.
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
I tried to play this thing in Japanese when it came out and couldn't really figure anything out without an EXTREMELY detailed FAQ, so I'm sooo glad they're doing this. It's actually pretty cool.
Batthink's Destructoid Blog
First Super Robot Wars, and now this game. I have never been this happy about upcoming games for a while. :O)
Tragic Hero's Destructoid Blog
Thats pretty cool. I was really looking forward to this one back in the day. It is just unfortunate that I heard the game got pretty sub par reviews.

GOD DAMN!
Scape's Destructoid Blog
Unfortunately this project will probably be shut down, but they really need to localize this game and Super Robot Wars.

Now all we need is a translation of Front Mission 5....
Tenro's Destructoid Blog
It hurts me like stabbing myself to say this, but I don't think I have the dedication to torrent, burn, and more importantly, mod. Frankly, I might just not trust myself to do it.

@mentok
i think there are a patch for the battle´s menu in fm5
Anus Mcphanus's Destructoid Blog
Whoops sorry guys I should have said this was an unofficial translation project in the headline but I was too busy jizzing in my pants my bad.

Looks like you will have to apply a patch to the original games iso file to get the translation and yes that means a modded PS2 which I have no idea how much that costs these days... but find out, do it and feed your inner fanboy!
Lightthrower's Destructoid Blog
I've played this game until chapter 30ish and it's GREAT! Can't wait for the translation, but the website seems down...

 about me

Good day sir/madam and welcome to the world of someone who calls himself Anus Mcphanus. In the real world I go by the name of Dan.

The name Anus Mcphanus comes from back in school in 6th form. We had a TV in our common room and I used to bring in my N64 to play games during our lunch breaks. Being in a public (or private to you yanks) school meant that we couldn't shout out obscene profanities so openly and so we made up words/names we could say and not get in any trouble. Eventually these words became associated with a certain person and I became known as Anus Mcphanus which meant arsehole. I thought the name was hilarious and so I kept the name and use it as my online and gamer name from then onwards.

In my free time I enjoy being Welsh, taking long walks down the beach where I bury my secret stash of peanuts (dry roasted of course) and happy slapping drunks on the tube.
My life is rather dull and uninspiring except for those times where I lose my clothes and need to communicate via the wonders of interpretive dance.
I can't sing but often kid myself into thinking I can.
I do not like things up my butt.


This is my sorry arse
