Translation NES / Famicom

Ganbare Goemon 2 English translation

がんばれゴエモン2 · Go for it! Goemon 2

Stardust Crusaders' English translation of Konami's Ganbare Goemon 2, now in a maintenance release with an English manual.

What's translated

Stardust Crusaders translated the dialogue, shop signs and messages of Ganbare Goemon 2, and FlashPV made a new English title screen. Version 2.0, from April 2022, is a maintenance release that cleans up a few cosmetic issues. The project page also offers an English version of the game's manual.

How it was made

This was one of the group's first projects and took more than two years. The script was translated by a series fan, Steve Martin, and Kartes helped push the project to the finish line.
