Translation Game Boy

Game Boy Wars English translation

ゲームボーイウォーズ

Nezz's full English translation of the original Game Boy Wars, the Japan-only handheld ancestor of Advance Wars.

What's translated

Nezz translated the whole game: unit names and stats, the command menus, map names and the messages that pop up during battle. Version 1.01, released a few days after the first one, fixes some of those messages.

There is little story in this one, so the patch mostly makes the menus and unit information readable, which is all you need to enjoy the strategy.

Playing it

The patch is for the Japanese Game Boy release. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the translation's romhack.ing page. The author takes bug reports on the project's GitHub page.
