One of the best gba games.
Why this was never released outside of Japan? WHY?
Here I have the soundtrack but I don´t know if it´s legal to post something to grab it.

Holy crap! A GBA game as arcade machine?!

Rhythm Tengoku deserves it, though.

Wonderful job!

Is there an English translation around for the GBA game?

I know it's playable without knowing Japanese, some English would help me figure out what the hell is going on half the time though

The clapping girls in kimonos are damn hard

pikirika thanks for the share

And yeah this game rocks!

It's not too bad if you memorize the symbols.

Man, I love that song.

Yeah I memorized the symbols, it's just the timing on that thing is nazi >_<

I'm seriously considering having a look at the rom's format to see if this thing is translatable.

The game definately deserves a translation... There is quite a lot of text in the game but I think it's worth doing

Sure does

I'm having trouble with it

 

[Dirtie]

Looks like some of the text at least is simply stored with Shift_JIS encoding:

If you go to offset 553D5 you can find the lyrics (in English) to the karate song from the first stage.

Edit: Script begins at 4F384 or thereabouts.
If anybody wanted to attempt a translation I'm sure many people would be very pleased

I've just given you your starting point, what are you waiting for?

 

[OrR]

I don't think anyone really needs a translation to enjoy it...

Of course not, but it'd still be nice to have one would it not

?

 

[OrR]

Well, as long as it doesn't remove translators from more important projects like Mother 3 and Gyakuten Saiban, ok.

I doubt anyone is still working on GS games since it's pretty certain that Capcom is going to localize all of them. Mother 3 on the other hand.... when will we ever see that patch released!? T_____T

Rhythm Tengoku should be much, much, much easier to patch though, compared to M3 or GS.

 

[OrR]

Well, afaik someone is working on the GS4 flash demo.

 

[shurf]

This is great news, but sadly, U.S. arcades suck.

Best GBA game eva!

If someone could patch it to engrish, using the guide as a erm,.. guide it would be full of awesome.
