I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

NAM-1975 also has a last boss that gives you instant game over if you lose all your lives, which is kind of a dick move after all the unlimited continues for the rest of the game.

Nam 1975 seems like a perfect fit, especialy with limited continues. Very, very few people have seen the end of that game, and the actual payoff is hilarious.

The last boss is absolutely brutal, and pretty much requires you to die to the last wave of enemies on the final level, so that you can continue at the very last possible chance you get, and face the boss with a full set of lives.

Will this be a ROM translation or a complimentary guide/text file? Or is someone actually going to publish the game in US?

If it was being published in the US, you would most certainly not see people posting about working on it beforehand. NDAs are serious business in the game biz.

To be fair, Yamazaki DID suddenly burst into an effeminate/gay character when everybody was complaining about his America Nabe.

But yes, those subs are absolutely dreadful. The takoyaki one in particular was so bad that I want to take some time and retranslate it.

Yeah, and in that specific line, Matsumoto asks why he's acting like an okama, which is the term for a stereotypically campy gay crossdresser, much like "drag queen".

And while I understand the desire to go back and redo the translation work, your efforts would be put to much better use on some of the 1000+ episodes of Gaki no Tsukai that haven't been translated at all. (Says the guy who's been sitting on a half-subtitled episode for a year now...)

Sorry to post this again but if anybody wanted pins and missed getting them, I have TWO sets of pin set 1 left over. $11 for one set shipped within the US, tracking available for an extra dollar. Please PM me if you're interested. :)
Would you ship to the UK or is this a US only thing?

I can ship to the UK! It'd just be a little bit more (I think an extra $2? So $13) and I can't provide a tracking number.

This is certainly a glimmer of hope for the project. I feel like I read here they were having problems changing the text in one of the games or something. Perhaps the way it rendered the text. I'm not sure. Does anyone have any further details of any problems halting the project? I find that kind of stuff interesting. I dabbled in rom hacking a bit years ago (although I'm quite sure I would be of no help to the project).

There were some issues with reinserting new graphics, but not really with any of the text. We've got a new coder who might be on board as well. Most of the halting was due to me though(whoops), but I'm back and work is beginning once again.

Just listened to the voice like 20 times in a row. Sounds kind of like "Main Phasing Broadcast" to me so add that to the list.

edit: or maybe "Main Phase in Broadcast"...not that we'll ever know.

It is awesome how many video game references I actually know now because of GCCX. The more Japanese tv I watch the more references I can enjoy :-). Just got done watching an anime and it had a Spelunker reference. Gintama is full of them too. I find myself watching more and more Japan programming than American tv these days. If it isn't shows like GCCX it is British comedy. Great news about the project for the second game picking back up too. Do you plan on releasing a script of translated material too? Just wondering because I'd be interested in buying the DS copy and using the script to follow along.
