Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrh! Why?!? Why, of all thr fantastic games that need a translation patch, did someone select that pile of kusoge?

I think I'm going to be quite ill... :bomb:

But wait, even translated, this game famously requires the controller 2 mic and singing a Japanese song on key. Has that section been removed/worked around for this??

As per the readme:

QuoteSecond Controller
   This game does use the microphone found on the Famicom Player 2 controller.
   Additionally:
    Down + A (on Controller II): Activate silent input. Takeshi will say Hello to
     confirm selection.
    A (on Controller II): With silent input turned on, push this repeatedly to
     "speak" into the mic.

Parodius Duh

I thought the 1990 re-release of the game removed the microphone parts?

Then does that mean that this CAN be played in emulation? I'm still a little confused by that.

Even in English, the game is still one of the worst games for the Famicom. Why in the hell would anyone translate this game?! i put it on my powerpak and tried to play it but its one of the most confusing games I've ever had the misfortune of playing.

It's not only one of the strangest and worst games on the famicom, it's famous for being one of the strangest and worst games for famicom.  Thats why someone translated it :)

Also: awesome!  I have this game and was really hoping I would get to try it out, now I can :)
GRRR!

Well its a known fact that this game was made shitty on purpose. Takeshi Kitano is an avid hater of videogames, so he wanted to make a game that would get the kids pissed off and so they would have to go play outside again. Its loosely based off of his popular tv show "Takeshis Castle" which was the driving force to get people to go out and waste their money on this. Surprisingly, it is actually quite popular and a cult classic due to the fact that Its a shitty game, but thats exactly what its supposed to be.

Does it really have any relation to Takeshi's Castle?  There are two Family Trainer (Power Pad) games based off of Takeshi's Castle, but I really don't know what this one has to do with the show aside from Takeshi's name.

is not related to the show, its related to the man.  Takeshi designed the game.

Edit: Sorry, messages from my phone never come out well.
It's not related to Takeshi's Castle, but Takeshi did lot of stuff and was famous for other reasons as well.
Also, I heard/read somewhere that he hated video games and actually designed this game with the intent of being a terrible game that would drive kids away from video games and get them outside or something :)
GRRR!

Parodius Duh

yeah I mean due to the popularity of Takeshi's Castle at the time and the man himself, thats why the game sold somewhat well.

This is one of those titles that is impossible to play, and the best ending is probably a black screen with the text 'Game Over'. With all the games that are worth playing that need a translation, dedicating the time to do this was a pure shame.  :bomb:

The game has historical and cultural significance :)
Check out this video, it's funny.  This guy said that "The developers took there job very seriously" but apparently Takeshi would show up drunk and belt out crazy stuff and they wrote it all down and put everything he said while he was drunk in the game.
