The first was never released and probably never will be, so no hope for the second. The sequel to the first game. extremely improved graphics, more characters. better attack animations. It is a turn base RPG Starts a bit easy but gets challenging as you go on. It would be greatly appreciated to even just have a menu translation. Thanks.

^ The game will most likely get localized, so I doubt a hacker would want to translate it completely.

There's someone working on the menu translation though.

While I can't do any translating and such myself, I came across an unofficial documentation. (Which is where the screen shots come from) Hopefully that would help out a bit if this request is picked up. The documentation is below.

Yeah i was gonna request it but though I'd wait till tomorrow when its officially released. I know a few have said it will be getting localized but i doubt it will happen for over a year and that's only if its a good success. If it where definitely going to be localized then they'd have said that. That and this ones based on kai and not Z and that matters because Kai isn't out in other country's so the games unlikely to be either until it is. Anyway my request is a bit neater so..

Game name

Dragon Ball Kai: Saiyajin Raishuu

Release date

JAPAN: April 29, 2009

Game info

The game is an Turn Based RPG based on the new anime series Dragon Ball Kai. The game is being developed by Monolith Soft and distributed by Namco Bandai under the Bandai label. It was released in Japan today and as a rom yesterday. It starts at the 23rd budokai and goes through the Saiyan saga. The game should no doubt be popular since its dragon ball.

Since the tv show of Kai has been said not likely to get a USA or Europe release this game is highly unlikely to as well.

Game Name:
3170 - Tales of Hearts - Anime Movie Edition (J)
(Number, Game Title, Version, and Language)

Release Date:
December 18, 2008

Some Info About the Game:
The 3rd "Tales of..." game on the Nintendo DS (or DSi). It comes in two different versions, the Anime Version and CG Version (I perfer Anime Version Translated). 2D Visuals, 2D RPG Look, includes the Aerial LMBS system from the "Tales of Destiny" games from the Series. Tales of Hearts includes various playable characters that you can rename, as seen in Tales of Vesperia. Most of the story revolves around the 16 Year Old character Shing Meteoryte and 17 Year Old Kohak Hearts. The characters in this came are 2D Sprites. The opening theme is "Eien no Ashita" (translation: "Eternal Tomorrow"). It certaintly lives up to the "Tales of..." legacy! The Genre is RPG like most of the series. The game is popular due to the fact that it is part of the "Tales of..." series and story. There aren't many posibilites this game will not come out in the west because Namco Bandai probably didn't get a license for it.

This game was only released in December, but Namco Bandai hasn't got a license for any of the "Tales of..." DS games in the series. So, there aren't high chances of it being localized.

FYI, Notoira, the peripheral for Mag Kid is bundled with the game, and you can pick it up at play-asia for $20. The game is very unique and fun (multiplayer is fun, too!!), and nowhere near as "lame" as a lot of the generic anime-licensed games that other posters are requesting translations for. The peripheral is basically an optical mouse, and would be impossible to control with a D-Pad since your speed of movement is an important part of the gameplay (you have to ram enemies, and once you pick them up you have to maintain a steady speed to hang on to them). An motion cart might work, but you might have better luck emulating the game on a PC and using a mouse or maybe an analog stick, but the whole fun of the game is the feeling that you are physically moving the magnet across the game's play areas.

I would love to see a translation for Slide Adventure: Mag Kid. The game is playable without it since the objectives are explained with pictures. I would at least like to have the menus translated so I could mess with the options.

It's Noitora, and what makes you believe I'd spent 20 bucks on the peripheral just to fulfill a translation request?

Game: Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren DS 2 - Sabaku no Majou (Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer DS 2: Demon Castle in the Desert) #2903

Release date: Nov 11, 2008


Info:

Wow. I can't believe a translation hasn't been requested yet. This game, though hugely popular in Japan, will sadly never get localized as western gamers don't seem to get what this is all about.

It's a roguelike game developed by Chunsoft, the company behind the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (PMD) series but Shiren is like PMD on crack.

Let me set the scene by quoting Matthew Williamson (gamesetwatch) talking about the first Shiren game:

"Shiren the Wanderer is firmly entrenched in Japanese culture and mythology. In a rain hat and cloak made of grass, Shiren attempts to reach the dwelling place of the Golden Condor at the summit of Tabletop Mountain, beyond Impasse Valley. He isn't the first to attempt this, and the designation “Wanderer” refers to “the men endlessly seeking this place.”

Death is a major theme of the game. Traversing the dungeons (and forests, towns, mountains, etc.) will lead to death in a multitude of manners which are all recorded on the high score chart. The game teaches you how to deal with this, or rather you slowly learn how to approach and survive the multitude of ways to die. It's notable and initially frustrating that when you die, you lose everything: money, equipment, and even your levels of experience.

There are cushions in place to dull the pain these hundreds of deaths. At certain points you can relinquish your equipment to have it return to warehouses throughout the game. There are towns where you can continuously upgrade your equipment in preparation for a run-through in the future. You can also enlist certain characters to aid you in your Wandering. And perhaps most importantly, the levels are randomly generated every time you enter them, without any of the problems that have plagued random levels from other developers (i.e. unreachable areas, impassable walls, blocked exits).

To keep playing to reach the eventual end is only the original goal. The people in the towns through which you pass remember what you did when you were there previously. While you may die and restart and die and restart, the towns keep going, and visiting them will uncover new surprises about them and their progressing stories. Eventually, you begin look forward to your returns to these towns and start to live for the journey, and not just the destination.

Unfortunately the few Chunsoft games that have made it outside of Japan have been unsuccessful. The company's games are like climbing a mountain: unless you're strong enough and smart enough, you'll fall. Picking yourself up and starting again from the bottom, and maybe reaching that next ledge, are what these games are about. The concept seems foreign to most gamers these days, who are used to having their hands held by game designers, and for whom losing all their “progress” (sad, superficial, numerical progress) is like a slap in the face."


A basic translation should hopefully not be too difficult as an entire wiki already exists with translated items (link below).

Given that Shiren 1 made its way over here, what makes you think the sequel won't?

 

[Lady_Souvereign]

Shiren didn't do well over here and it's already been confirmed that there won't be any localized version coming out.
