Wonder Project J: Kikai no Shounen Pino English translation
ワンダープロジェクトJ 機械の少年ピーノ · Wonder Project J: Mechanical Boy Pino
WakdHacks' English patch for Enix's Super Famicom game about raising a robot boy who wants to become human.
The game
Pino is a gijin, a robot built to look like a boy, and the world around him distrusts machines. You guide him from the outside: the fairy Tinker gives him items, and you react to whatever he tries, rewarding good ideas and correcting bad ones. Over time Pino learns to walk, talk, fight and get along with the people of Corlo Island, and the story moves on as he grows.
