Greatest hits on PS1 is where it all went down hill.

All we get now are shit flaps of double-sided paper with one side controls and one side legal information.

I just bought Monster Hunter 4U for the 3DS... the "instruction manual" was safety information in 3 languages and literally nothing else.

I had forgotten this was even a thing, RIP. Not surprising though, most 4chan projects die horribly.

How fucking incompetent can you be? You disgust me.

Was supposed to be a fan game for the community of /vr/, but got abandoned as the team got busy with other things.

It makes me sad that Mega Man 3 is Inafune's least favorite Mega Man.

Because Zero is best grill.

>They have way less challenging platforming
There you go. That was easy.

>Elmer started hacking Xanadu II from square one. It has only been a few weeks since he began, but already he has not only cracked Xanadu II, but also made enormous headway into opening up Xanadu I for translation as well.

>Xanadu II is first in line to get done. At this time, the script is extracting completely, including odd things like the menu text and weapon shop text. Once any remaining kinks are ironed out and the layout of the dump is finalized, we'll be able to transfer my old translation into the new dump (hopefully using automation) and begin reinsertion. No promises, but since the Japanese-to-English side is already so far along, this should come together relatively quickly.

>Xanadu I is a beast of a game. It is literally 2.5 times the size of Xanadu II in almost every regard: it takes about that much longer to beat, there is about that much more text, and the cut-scenes are about that many more minutes. Though there are some things about the way it operates behind the scenes that are structurally simpler than Xanadu II, we're also more starved for free RAM with it. A good English translation is going to take up a lot more space than the original Japanese text, so some miracles are going to have to be performed to make everything fit. However, I am very optimistic about it coming together.

>I really hope it does, too, because Xanadu I is a hell of a game.

>However, at this time, none of the enormous in-game script is translated. It's going to take a while. Happily, while waiting for new script dumps, I have as of today completed my first draft of an English script for Xanadu I's cut-scenes. They literally total over one hour in running time, and the draft is over 5000 words. And this leads me to...

I don't understand Falcom's naming policy. What do Legend of Xanadu Next or Tokyo Xanadu have to do with Dragon Slayer 2: Xanadu?

>>2784059
Xanadu is a real thing.

Played the hell out of Rayman 2 on the PC. The game is pretty linear but I still went through trying to get all the lums, cages, and secret level endings. Still my favorite Rayman game in terms of gameplay, story, and aesthetics. Overall really charming. Really felt they nailed this one. I still make an effort to play it through at least once a year. 3 was kind of a let down, but still hoping we'll see any kind of Rayman 4, even if it's not like the 2nd.

You know the other Shining Force 3 games for saturn have been translated right?

Not that one in particular, but in general yes.

It's kinda strange that I would miss something like that, come to think of it.

Miss? I play em all the time but I'm pissed my ps2 disc tray motor is fucking up. Gotta hold it out while I put the next disc in while it desperately tries to snap my ps1 X Files disc. Buying a slim from a buddy for $20 so I'm excited to excise this paranoia for good.

This is why you should always go for top-loading optical media devices

It's especially hilarious when you see stuff like "Do not use sprites from this sheet without crediting me!" or some shit on a sheet

OP there's already a thread about games you want to see translated but likely never will.

But this is a Goemon thread so I'm not mad at you.

I wish the good PS1 games in the style of the SNES games would get translated. At least the GBC game is a straight platformer and can be played without problems.

As for the dick sucking, just pay them. That'll do.

It's a shame whenever people get into series beacuse of remakes or reboots. Everytime I see people talk about Ys it's always the newer ones. Imo always start with the originals. You should try Ys 1 or Ys 3, both give you a good take on Ys.

Zelda is not an action-RPG, except LoZ 2.

*tips*

What you spoilered there is actually concerning to me as the unusually grim time of ps2 was a real part of its greatness to me. The theme of futility it holds is so unusual in any game let some a jrpg.

Whenever I play PS I am blown away by how far ahead it was of other jrpgs at the time.

I finished it today, but in Japanese.
I got through most of the game without a guide so I completely missed the whole revival thing.
Finding the damn crevasse and the Ney Weapon quest however drained me so much that I just grinded for manufactured equipment and used a map instead of accurately mapping all those damn holes.

>>2782096
From what I understand, you have to beat the game first before it will let you go back and revive her. And it only adds a few lines, along with her appearing during the ending sequence fight against the evil Earthling guys. There wasn't much interaction between characters in PS2 anyway, but it still feels like they should have done more to make that event a bigger deal.

>>2782056
>Can we talk about one of my favourite video games of all time?
No, no we cannot.

Every time I go to play Mario 3 I try to feel the magic that others feel with this game, but I can never get into it. I don't like the exploration aspect, it makes the levels seem sparse if you're just aiming for the goals.

>>2782112
I agree. SMB3 is the start of the casualization of the Mario series. I want a pure platformer, not an exploration game. SMB1 is superior.

Make your own or by some old stock from bongland.

just look for some that don't have the cheap black plastic on them. Try european stores as you will have more options there. good scart cables aren't just a mess inside. Also make sure they're fully wired obviously

Eurofag here. I've never ever seen a SCART ribbon cable in my life and still wonder why that is the default Wikipedia image.
