Cocoron English translation
ココロン
Akujin's English translation of Takeru's Famicom platformer where you build your own hero from heads, bodies and weapons.
What's translated
Akujin translated, wrote and hacked this patch, released in 1999 and later hosted by Dynamic Designs. The character builder that is the heart of the game is fully in English: face, body and weapon names, their weight, HP and attack values, the status screen and the button prompts. Stage names on the map are translated too.
Tips
The creator points out a detail that is easy to miss: on the face and body selection screens, pressing left and right switches between alternative graphics for each part.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, following the instructions on the Dynamic Designs page, which offers it in several patch formats.
