Snatcher Did the translation ever get finished?

[Dicer]

Seems it was started cant seem to find out what state it was left at or if it was finished at all?

I know I can play the FekaCD version, but I'd rather play on OBEY....

I just checked the junker hq website, and it seems to have been on hiatus for quite some time, but from I am guessing he has been very busy with doing translation scripts for MGSV or something of the lines

here is the link

From what I knew, they didn't have a PCE hacker. From the way they described it, they were going to just replace the text (they contacted me wanting to know the filesystem format of the PCE CD, I told them there was not such thing). Without a PCE hacker, I can't imagine them getting too far (pointers modification, single byte ascii reads, new font routine, etc).

This is unfortunate...

They were just planning to take the text and voices straight from the Sega CD version, right?  I've often wondered why games with existing localizations on other platforms haven't been hacked already after all these years (Ninja Ryukenden, Langrisser, etc.)

[Bonknuts]

Ninja Ryukenden on the PCE? Because it already has English as an option in the game.

It's too bad no one wants to invest time into hacking / translating this game. It's probably up there as one of the most requested translations, but non pc-engine users just complain and say "play the Sega CD version instead". :/

If there was a kickstarter for this, I would totally back it.

[Necromancer]

I'd love a translation of it, but I can see how many hackers would rather work on something "new" instead of porting an existing translation.

I thought the translation was in French anyway?  I could be thinking of Dead of the Brain tho.

You are thinking Dead of the Brain...

Oh!?  Well, hot damn.  That's surprising and awesome.  I don't know how I missed that.

Go to the title screen, hold I and II, then press Select to cycle through the available languages (the title should change to the desired language). Three are available - Japanese (Default), English and Chinese.

This one would be awesome and the perfect way for me to play Snatcher since I sadly don't own a Sega CD. I won't bug any translators/hackers though because they're already doing great/hard work that is worth commending!

[Desh]

I too would be all over a translation for this game.  I still haven't played the FEKA version.  I'll probably be playing an illegal disc as the price tag on an original is just craziness.

Wish the excellent Jeremy Blaustein localization was brought over to the PCE. I don't care about the Sega CD at all and the US copies of snatcher are way overpriced.
