Kid Niki 2

How Japanese ...

Set after rescuing the princess in Kid Niki: Radical Ninja, a new amusement park called “Karakuri Land” has opened in Edo. The princess asks Kid Niki to take her to the amusement park, but he blows her off since he’s busy training.

The princess and all the other visitors to the park disappear, and Kid Niki sets out to rescue everyone once again.

Kid Niki has to venture through all the sections of the Karakuri Land theme park beating bosses until he gets to some strange wizard-like guy with spinning illusion balls and the princess growing out of his head. There is no question that IREM developers use recreational drugs.

Let\'s go get kidnapped!

The game is actually titled Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2, but the Yanchamaru series was titles Kid Niki in the USA, so I went with that title instead. This patch was originally released in March of 1998 and was my first complete project.

The actual text translation was done by Shujin-Rik, SoM2Freak, The_Ned and Harmony7.

The bulk of the work for this project was all the graphics that needed to be translated. There really wasn’t much dialogue.
