Gotta click the link first. You wish it was an Xbone for that price lol. Well not really because then you'd be wanting an Xbone....

Yeah it's one of the few series I played with a translation guide (a painstaking process) back in the day.

I don't understand why there are games that have these yet don't have a translation patch. I can understand the people with the know-how to make patches not knowing how to translate or simply not wanting to, but if someone else has already made the English script for the game then a huge portion of the work is done and they'd simply have to do the patch.

I'm beginning to think I'll never get to play Magic School. =\

That would have been so much nicer/easier. XD

In this day and age, all Japanese only releases should have official/unofficial translation guides. There's no reason why game X shouldn't.

Just got word from Zavvi that they dispatched my €21 preorder of Steins; Gate (PSVita).

Will be a nice surprise if I actually receive it.

It's a pain in the ass if you don't have all the time in the world to do so, pretty sure I could do it if I read up on it but it's hacking/coding for old systems in assembly language. That's why lots of patches take a long time aside from the translation and many get left unfinished, it's hard to juggle hobby projects such as these with daily life/work making them drag out. You also have to work with the translators too and be sure you're on the same page, it's rude to take someone else's work for your own ends even if it's just a shareware project without prior consulting. It can be messy here and there it just takes the right person at the right time to muster the will to get it done.

I couldn't imagine the translator being offended if a coder deems his translation good enough to use in a patch.

It's a matter of courtesy to at least ask an author if you may use his or her work before doing so.

Edit: picked up my Yoshi's Woolly World preorder.

Reverse pickup, but I sold my arcade cabinet to a guy locally for a bit of change and a lot of space back in my life.
