Adventure Island 4?

[ColdWar]

This game was only released in Japan and I would love a taste of it (legally) so will it ever come. Battle Lode Runner is Japan only.

Well there's always a chance seeing as Battle Lode Runner has been released, isn't there. Let's just remain hopeful!
I got one of them on the SNES for £2.99 a couple of years ago, but I still need to get around to downloading the TG one!

They've released Battle Lode Runner just because it was in English already. They're in no way going to start translating anything from their Japanese versions.

And I would like to highlight a significant passage:
"We're open to games released in Japan if we can get them translated properly."
George Harrison senior Vice President Nintendo of America.

Did I read the word TRANSLATED?

[ICEknight]

He's talking up his butt, of course they won't translate anything themselves. That would cost them money and some effort (which isn't precisely the philosophy behind the VC).

The only Japanese games they're releasing are those that were already in English, as you can see.


PS: A different thing would be some games that only need a few words to be translated, but we're talking about a complex game that would need a new title screen and a lot of text to be re-formatted.

Hudson Soft are putting a lot of effort into VC, with a weekly game, translated ones and more, so I certainly think at least they will translate some more games.

If you had actually read the previous messages you'd have realized by now that Battle Lode Runner has always being in English.

Battle Lode Runner had various words in Japanese on menus and stuff.

You know, if a translated game would happen, I'll come and throw it in your face.
You're free to decide not to trust what an official figure says, but you're not allowed to say "it will not happen"...well technically you ARE allowed to say it, but people will think you're a nerdy little lonely kid who begs for attention.

And most important, you should not say a thinkg like "he's talking up his ...". Tell me, are you his andrologist?
Because if it's just filth you think people produce from their mouths, I would say the same about you.

Of course they won't tell you "The VC is a great way to release game after game without even touching them", but that's basically it. So it's not likely that they'll translate any text-heavy game from a while ago.

Sorry, I'm too used to talking to adults.

No, it never did. Please don't make up stuff, etc.
