Hello GBAtemp,

I was wondering what it would take to get Monster Hunter 3G into the hands of fervently obsessed westerners. Capcom don't seem to want it which is good enough reason to break all the rules.

I'm guessing the following needs to be done, I was just posting this here as a question in regards to it all being possible;

- Unlock the region of the game (As opposed to buying a Japanese unit for one game)
- Hacking (Patching?) the game menus with English terms.
- Having the game play on a 3DS with local multiplayer supported.

Actual translation details are still just trickling through from people with the Japanese game. But translating doesn't seem to be a big issue. Would the hacking side of things be possible?

And does anyone know of some fan project related to Monster Hunter 3G?

Hack the 3DS first, figure out the encryption of the 3DS ROMs, and then find a way to edit them and then you can have your translation. Other than that, buy a JP 3DS and play in Japanese.

Even if there was a homebrew method; this is a whole different thing and stupid to even think about at this point. It's more involved than writing text other the top of other text.

There's no need for a fan project (if one was even possible). Monster Hunter 3G will be localized. It's been hinted at by Sven a number of times.

Ah, thanks for the replies.

Dunno about the official translation, that Sven guy hinted at MHP3rd being translated saying that 'you shouldn't be worried.'

Whatever that means.

Translating can be a huge issue. Like iNFiNiTY said, It's not just writing on top of other text. Here's a video that shows what can happen while translating a game.
Granted, this game is a GBA game, I can't help but think that you would run into the same kinds of issues. That is if fan-translation for 3DS games was possible in the first place.

I don't really see why NA wouldn't get a mh3d release
after all the we have gotten what like 75% of the 3rd iteration ports.
I'm pretty sure the only reason it is taking so long is because capcom's including a online feature for the NA release, if not they plan on making including DLC and etc.

@324atk
oh I lol'd at the difficulties vid, it must have been a hoot playing around with that (loved the crib # err and the block 0 err)
yeah translating isn't as easy as it sounds, people think you just go in and type in english and it's all good.

We didn't get Monster Hunter G on the Wii. I still think we will get MH3G, but afaik, Nintendo has only gotten one MH game in NA.

nah I was talking about the third or watnot
I'm not to familiar with the entire series but we have gotten a majority of the third game installment, no?
I know there is Tri on the wii if that is what you refer to.

*edit: besides wasn't there only one monster hunter game ever released on a Nintendo platform?
we get a good number of the games so I don't get the stress over it not coming out.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
