Hacks / translations for your favorite 8-16-bit console games

LOL Listen to this! They've found hidden 5 player modes in some of the NHL games for the SNES. NHL '95, '96 and '97 to be exact.



It seems code for this feature was already inside the games, but for some reason was disabled before release. We already have patches that, in the author's words...

"After patching, each game supports up to 5 simultaneous human players using SNES multitap-compatible hardware. The team selection screen displays all connected controllers, and all players are fully controllable during gameplay. No additional modifications are required."

The PC-FX game All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling Queen of Queens has received an English translation:

It's a fighting game based on FMV. Not the entirety of the game seems translated, but the authors claim it's fully playable and that they don't plan future versions because of technical limitations in the game and the console.

Information and download here.

And for a moment I thought it was the first English translation for the system, but it turns out previous ones exist for Zeroigar, Farland Story FX and Pia Carrot e Youkosou!!

 

And Team Innocent: The Poimt of No Return translated: https://github.com/DerekPascarella/TeamInnocent-EnglishPatchPCFX

 

Thanks for the tip, Octohum, I didn't know about that one. And it seems like an interesting game, something on the style of Alone in the Dark or Resident Evil.

Meanwhile, I've learned of a Reigen Doushi / Mr. Vampire (NES) English translation by BlackPaladin:



The game does have a western version called Phantom Fighter, but the original was a license from a Chinese film called Mr. Vampire.

Information and download here.

And today we also have another English translation worth mentioning, this time for Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X (PSP), which in turn is a remake of Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon for the Game Boy Color.

I took those from Romhacking, I'm too lazy to take my own xD

I also should have mentioned the patch comes in two versions, one with quality of life improvements and a vanilla one for those who want to experience the game "as it is", warts and all.
