Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushido Retsuden- was it ever translated?

[KGRAMR]

In the odd chance that the English fan translation of the Neo Geo CD version does indeed releases, i hope it is used as basis for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions. That way, we'll all be done asking someone to translate SS RPG and translate Princess Crown at last XD

 

[Burning Fight!!]

I was joking, but surely people with a huge boner for SSRPG can play it in relative comfort with the French translation equipped with Google Lens or some old fashioned translator? Japanese is notoriously hard to machine translate, but french not so much and you can even infer meaning from Latin rooted words.

Sure beats begging some failed professional localizer for a translation for a decade.

 

[Neo Alec]

Are you guys referring to SSV Perfect?

No, not Special or Perfect, Regular Samurai Shodown 5. The story is missing from the Neo Geo version in English mode.

Didn't know about that. Gonna have to seek that out.

samsho5x Only thing is it only works in MVS mode. Maybe someone hack it to fix that.

Ah OK, gotcha! How odd though... :/

The corner-cutting for the English mode is perfectly in character for SNKP in 2003. I just wish they hadn't waited for the Xbox release to make a translation.

This is version 1.1, the bugfix (and probably final) release of the English translation for Shinsets

Played for 10 mins just now. I think it's finally here, boys.

This the real deal.

 

[Burning Fight!!]

great, now I can pretend I will play it someday

 

[Neo Alec]

I've got it running on the NeoSD Loader, and I'll burn a lacquer disc for testing on the different NGCD models. Just watching the translated intro after all these years is pretty epic.

 

[HornheaDD]

Got it running on MiSTer, but it crashes both on normal BIOS and UniBIOS. I played for about 10 mins as well, then started getting crashes. Trying to see if I can run it in a windows emulator but FBNeo and FBAlpha are not seeing it.

 

[doaal]

Looks like the loading times are pretty good for this game, given it was designed for the NGCD. PS1 has pretty short loads and it's actually the Saturn version that lags behind with loading screens after each battle.

 

[yagamikun]

Very cool - will certainly download and patch my iso. I played through scenario 1 a few years ago and almost the entirety of the Saturn version back in the 90's - although, I don't think any amount of English translation will fix the game's horrible pacing and atrocious random-battle rate. The animation (on Neo CD) and pixel art in the game is stellar, though.

Still, good to see somebody see this through as I'm sure the game will be more palatable now that folks will know what's going on at least.

Holy fucking hell! Samurai Shodown RPG has finally been fan translated

"My White Whale Has Finally Been Slain" - Samurai Shodown RPG Translation Is Live

Rechristened "Samurai Shodown: Tales of the Bushido"

Big props to the translator... All that's left are the PS1 and Saturn versions. Now, it's up to Princess Crown on Saturn.

Check out the readme with the patch. He tells his whole story, and this forum gets a mention.

 

[NeoCverA]

………and this forum gets a mention.

This? lol y’all bitches still a bunch of salty cunts.

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

Last but not least, everyone who has supported me on Ko-Fi and everyone who's
taken the time to say something nice on Twitter and RHDN. For those on a
certain ancient forum who are still salty about interactions from literal
decades ago... I hope the past intervening years have treated you well. May
you find whatever peace you're looking for, and I hope you enjoy the game.

 

[HeavyMachineGoob]

The day has finally arrived

Never thought I'd ever actually see it

 

[kernow]

glad to see Deuce is still a massive Sperg
