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.
