INTRODUCTION
Set after rescuing the princess in Kid Niki: Radical Ninja, a new amusement
park called "Karakuri Land" has opened in Edo. The princess asks Kid Niki
to take her to the amusement park, but he blows her off since he's busy
training.
The princess and all the other visitors to the park disappear, and Kid Niki
sets out to rescue everyone once again.
The game is actually titled Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2, but the Yanchamaru series
was titles Kid Niki in the USA, so I went with that title instead. This
patch was originally released in March of 1998 and was my first complete
project.
The actual text translation was done by Shujin-Rik, SoM2Freak, The_Ned and
Harmony7.
The bulk of the work for this project was all the graphics that needed to be
translated. There really wasn't much dialogue.
This is an update to the old translation I released in 1998. I wanted to
make the patch available again, but I also wanted to deliver something a bit
better than last time.
First off, I added a lower case font to the game (using the Master of Orion
font again). I also took time to play through the whole game again and make
sure nothing got chopped.
Apparantly, the old 1.1 patch which translated the ending BROKE the ending
text and nobody ever told me! This is fixed now, so if you never did before,
you can play through the game start to end without any glitches.
I did not change the title screen because it would involve changing several
hard coded palettes (there's a load of different color regions so it would
be very difficult to make something that looks nice and fits around them),
and I didn't want to risk damaging the game later on.
So 6 years later, here is the final, 100% complete version of the game.
