Famicom Jump: Eiyuu Retsuden English translation
ファミコンジャンプ 英雄列伝 · Famicom Jump: Hero Retsuden · Famicom Jump: Heroes History
A Definitive Edition of BlackPaladin's English translation of the Shōnen Jump crossover RPG, with a reviewed script, restored lines, battery saving, a talk button, pause in fights and a roomier text box.
What it is
This edition by Patch Clan, made together with BlackPaladin, builds on his English translation (v1.03) of the Famicom crossover game. The script was checked against the Japanese line by line: lines that showed up blank or garbled are restored (Shenron's wish box is no longer empty), dozens of lines were brought closer to the original meaning, character and item names follow the official English versions of each manga, and spelling and layout problems were cleaned up. Version 2.1 rewrites another couple of dozen lines to suit the wider text box and corrects names in the end credits.
What's new
- The upper text box now fits 22 letters per line and wraps by word, with the script compressed to make room.
- The game saves whenever the monolith gives you a password, and Continue comes up with it already filled in; passwords still work.
- Pressing A beside your ally makes him talk at once instead of hitting him.
- START pauses fights, the slowest shot recharge is a bit faster, and the shop no longer charges you for items you already have.
- A short edition screen credits the translation before the untouched title screen.
Playing it
