Rockman 2: Dr. Wily no Nazo English translation
Mega Man 2 · ロックマン2 Dr.ワイリーの謎 · Rockman 2: Dr. Wily's Riddle
Aeon Genesis's early English patch for the Japanese Famicom Rockman 2, a curiosity for players who want the original release with English text.
What's translated
The patch puts the Japanese Rockman 2 into English: the opening story, the title subtitle (Dr. Wily's Riddle) and the rest of the game's text. Most names follow the American Mega Man 2, with a few of the translator's own choices, such as Clashman for the boss known in the US as Crash Man.
Why play it
The game itself already came out in English as Mega Man 2, so this is mostly of interest to collectors and fans who want the Famicom version, which skips the easier difficulty setting added for the American release. The translator, Gideon Zhi, calls it his very first completed translation and is candid on the project page that it isn't one of his proudest.
Playing it
The patch is made for the Japanese Rockman 2 and is applied to your own copy following the instructions on Aeon Genesis's project page. Translation by Aeon Genesis.
