Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (PC Engine CD) English translation
ダウンタウン熱血物語
TruMisery's AI-assisted English translation of the PC Engine CD remake of Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari, with translated shop signs, a new variable-width font and many display fixes.
What's translated
The story and boss dialogue for both player routes, shop conversations, item and effect messages, menus, the ending narration and the staff credits are in English. Item names are kept consistent between shops and the inventory, and status labels are spelled out in full. A variable-width font fits the English into the existing windows. The graphics got the same treatment: the title artwork and the many storefront signs, from bookshops and bakeries to the bathhouse, were relettered in English while keeping the original artwork around them.
Fixes and extras
TruMisery also expanded the text storage so longer lines no longer overwrite other messages, and fixed shop list redraws, screen jumps and the ending sequence. The release restores the sound test and adds an optional bonus code for a new game. The Japanese voices and music are unchanged.
Playing it
The current release targets the Japanese Redump disc image. The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the GitHub page.
