Translation SNES / Super Famicom

Taekwon-Do English translation

テコンドー · 跆拳道

Patch Clan's translation of Human's Super Famicom taekwondo game, with English paired with Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese in the cartridge's own language menu.

What's translated

The Japanese cartridge already had a language menu offering Japanese or Korean. Patch Clan reused it: the main patch offers English and Spanish in those two slots, and a second patch pairs English with Brazilian Portuguese. All of the game's texts were translated and checked against the Japanese, every text box was measured to fit, and the 32 techniques keep their romanized Korean names as Human wrote them on the Korean side of the cartridge. The opening narration plays before you choose a language, so it is in English only.

The English version was played through all seven endings. Version 1.1 translates the options screen in the VS and Team Battle modes, which had been left in Japanese.

The translation was made with machine and AI assistance.

Playing it

Apply the IPS patch to your own dump of the Japanese cartridge, as explained on the project page. Progress is saved with passwords, since the cartridge has no battery.
