Nobunaga no Yabou: Reppuuden with Power-Up Kit English translation

What's translated

All of the game's text is in English: event scenes and narration, notices, menus and lists, officer biographies, the tutorial and glossary, the editor and the settings and save screens. The names of officers, princesses, clans, castles, provinces and treasures are translated too, shortened where a field is too narrow. Text that the game draws as graphics, such as the main map's command bar and its sub-menus, the main menu and the scenario screens, was redrawn, and a new proportional English font with word wrap was made for it. Only the title logo and the text inside the opening and ending movies stay in Japanese.

Machine translation, beta

The creator is clear that the whole script was translated by an AI model and has not been checked by a fluent Japanese speaker, so expect some odd wording and mixed terms. The 0.9 releases are betas: a full campaign has been played through, but sieges, defending in battle and the endings have seen less testing. Reports of text that is cut off or reads wrongly are welcome.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc (the Rev 1 release), following the instructions in the creator's GitHub repository, which also holds the tools used to build it. The patched game keeps the original serial, so existing memory card saves still work.
