Retro Game Challenge 2 fan translation moving forward
Earlier in the month, ROM Hacker Xvirus demonstrated the potential for a fan translation patch for the sequel to Retro Game Challenge, long ago doomed never to escape Japan. While the patch was technically possible with Xvirus' skills, he lacked a translator (a common issue currently plaguing two other in-progress patches from the hacker). I'm happy to report that some plucky folks have answered the call to help Xvirus push this project along. The project now boasts a team of four translators, an editor and a graphic designer. They have set up a website where folks will be able to follow the project as it progresses, promising regular blog updates and visual media. As I said before, I would love for this to happen and it's wonderful to see a group of people rally behind this cause. Not to be the rain on the parade or anything but I'm not exactly celebrating yet either. There's a long way to go and I've seen too many efforts of its kind fall apart to get my hopes up this early. I wish the team the best of luck. Game Center CX 2 translation project page [Tiny Cartridge | Thanks, John!] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I hear ya. Even in this day and age, the mortality rate of fan translations is absolutely staggering with pretty much everything that's not by Type-Moon. Why is it that most DS fan translations fail? I really hope that this turns out to be an exception. The fact the project exists at all fells like a goddamn miracle. Best news I've heard all day! Being a European I had to import the original, which was one of the better decisions I've made, because that game is amazing. Jump Ultimate Stars survived to be translated...Please, people who can translate, keep the dream alive until it's finished. Awesome. RGC2 is even better than the first. Let's hope this pans out, so I can play Detective Arino without a walkthrough! Man, when I saw This on my Twitter this morning I was all kinds of excited, thinking that XSEED finally felt the fan pressure. But this will have to do. Good thing I still have that NDS flash card... Yes! Yes! Now all they need to do is get The Last Window over here and all's well. I loved the first RGC, and cannot wait for this. Hopefully they'll manage to do it, not many fan translations pan out. They don't even need to try hard to release a beta version - just have English menus and choices. I mean, the dialogue was part of the charm of the first RGC, but I'll take a playable version over nothing. 7:00 PM on 05.10.2013 Review: Color CommandoThe combination of puzzle and platforming is one of my favorite hybrid genres of all time.
