This is the actual reason I decided to pick up on the Shinobi Retsuden II translation. Shinobi Retsuden III. I'm so excited in fact that I'd rather play it than translate it right now so I know what I'm dealing with. However, my DS is in for repairs so I can't test it on an actual console.
Now, there's a small bump I seem to have encountered. Highly expected though (Noitora is probably laughing his ass off right now
and that's that none of the graphics I've been working on match the new game's graphics - that goes for character names, stage names, everything. Even the old "Ready...FIGHT!" has been redone for this game. So now I've gotta do EVERYTHING from the ground up. But that's good to an extent - that means everything will be consistent graphically this time.
Patch
http://www.mediafire.com/?mkpahy8l8whxcp1 - link updated 3/3/12. rip megaupload :'(
Newest patch - Beta 03
[Instructions: Use XDelta UI [stolen from Noitora ;_;] to apply patch ....xdelta to clean version of ROM
Make sure ROM you're gonna patch is called b-naruto3.nds
Then, in the same folder give the new patched file a name!]
Beast Battles menu 100% translated.
Options header, ingame Beast Battle instruction guide 100% translated.
Contrary to initial rant, parts of UI is now completely translated. Examples: "Round 1: Fight!" and the "VS" on the character select
Link mode mostly untranslated but no one has any friends to play this with so nothing to worry about.
50% of unlock messages translated
New title screen graphic! Disgustingly official-looking!
Header edited (title will be in English on official DS firmware)
A lot of little things I can't even recall at the moment right now are probably translated too.
Story: Chapter titles and subtitles translated!
Story: "Prologue: Newfound Determination" translated!
Very English!
Issue
I cannot translate the weapons choices in Beast Battles for some weird reason. Every time I do so it crashes the game.
For now, blue option is "Shuriken" and red option is "Kunai".
Unlock prompts are incredibly boring. This is why I haven't translated many of them. x(
[I've done enough so now I'm working on the storyline. Yes, this is where I need people to help me. Noitora, if you want to help me that's cool - if not it's OK most of it is busy work anyhow ):]
