Battle Mania: Daiginjou English translation
バトルマニア 大吟醸 · Trouble Shooter Vintage
Jon Najar's English translation of Battle Mania: Daiginjou in two flavors: a localized Trouble Shooter Vintage and a literal translation.
What's translated
Jon Najar translated the whole game and released it in October 2006 in two versions. Trouble Shooter Vintage is a localization in the style of an official release, with Western names and softer language. Battle Mania Daiginjou is a literal translation that keeps the Japanese references as they are. The translator suggests trying both.
About the game
You fly through side-scrolling stages as Mania, with Maria as a helper who fires in the direction you set, while comic dialogue scenes link the levels.
Playing it
