Scripts and Localizations

Know how Japanese games come over to the west? Notice how they’re in…ENGLISH?! That’s because they were translated. What I hope to do is also play Japanese versions of prominent or not not-so-prominent games and find the differences between what is written in English and Japanese. Usually there’s a fair bit, either because liberties were taken with translation, or some things changed completely! I mostly just started this for the Megaman/Rockman X games because I love them more than things that are loved, but I will maybe branch into other series.

Excellent Translation. Can you do the compare for Rockman & Forte SFC and Mega Man & Bass GBA English ? The English version of GBA is here:

  Wow, thanks for the comment! I’m really late with the reply though. Rockman & Forte is a good idea! It’s fun shiz, too, so I’ll try it out!

Question. When you get to Mega Man X4, will you translate the voice acted quotes of the bosses?

  Ah, sorry for the late reply, but yes, I will. I will be doing the texted dialogue, cutscene dialogue and pre-battle quotes. It’ll probably be split into two parts, one for X and Zero (though from memory, the pre-battle quotes are the same for both of them).

  However, before X4 I may do Xtreme 2 as it takes place before X4.
