Open Call: Translating Bomberman Video Games

What up, bomberbutts! It sure has been a hot minute and a half. Unfortunately, I have no updates regarding any of Bombermanga's projects (except that nothing's abandoned, just backburnered). What I do have for y'all is a potential opportunity for folks to get involved in someone else's bombertranslation project — one in which translation skills aren't necessarily needed!

Legato at BombermanBoard (he of the SteamyJimmy YouTube channel, which got nuked after he posted subs for BMJ's Episode 53 drama CD and the entirety of the Bakugaiden IV anime) is looking to organize a group effort to translate several Bomberman games that never made it out of the land of the rising sun. This includes:

Super Bomberman: Panic Bomber W (SNES)

Super Bomberman 5 (SNES, incomplete)

Saturn Bomberman Fight!! (Saturn)

Bomberman Wars (Saturn)

BB-Daman Bakugaiden: Victory heno Michi (GBC)

BB-Daman Bakugaiden V: Final Mega Tune (GBC)

Bomberman Land (PSX)

Bomberman Land 2 (PS2, GC)

Bomberman Land 3 (PS2)

Bomberman Kart (PS2)

Bomberman Kart DX (PS2)

Bomberman Jetters: Legendary Bomberman (GBA)

Bomberman Jetters Game Collection (GBA)

Panic Bomber (PSP)

Bomberman: Bakufuu Sentai Bomberman (PSP)

Bomberman Blast JP (Wii)

The translator for BMJ Episode 53 and both Bakugaiden IV & V is open to working on these games as well, so what legato is primarily looking for are people who can:

Rip text from the games

Put any translated text back into a patch

Playtest for typos, corrections, etc.

Provide additional help checking translations for accuracy

For more information, check out the forum thread here. If you're interested in helping out, you can:

Make a BombermanBoard account and post in the thread about what you can do (which would probably be easier for legato to track but is possibly antithetical to the younger bombs in the fandom), or...

Message this account with a name, method of contact (an email address or otherwise some sort of social media with DM/PM capabilities), and what you can offer for the project so I can post in the thread in your stead

For the record, games that have already been translated (not by legato!) include:

Bomberman GB 3

Super Bomberman 4

Bomberman Warz (PSX)

Bomberman 64 Arcade Edition

Bomberman GB 3

For the finale of the GB trilogy, Hudson Soft pulled out all the stops and delivered a truly proper send-off. Taking everything they learned from the first two GB games, sprinkling in some elements from the Game Boy Atomic Punk, and building upon those things with new ideas results in a game that can proudly stand alongside the series’ console entries. GB 3 is a huge improvement compared to its predecessors, offering impressive variety, better pacing, and more interesting challenges. Though it is an iterative sequel, it’s not an entirely safe sequel, either. Despite multiplayer being a large part of Bomberman’s identity, it’s nowhere to be found this time around, making GB 3 the first mainline entry since the NES to dare to be a purely single player experience. Unlike the first two GB games, GB 3 never made it outside of Japan (even when it was re-released via the 3DS Virtual Console), but an unofficial translation is available courtesy of David Mullen and Duke Serkol for the story and menus.

Super Bomberman 4

Just two months before the release of the Nintendo 64, Super Bomberman 4 arrived on the Super Famicom as the first Super entry entirely exclusive to Japan. 1996 was an eventful year for the Bomberman series – the Japanese releases of Saturn Bomberman, Bomberman GB 3, and Bomberman B-Daman all occurred in this same year, ensuring that fans on any remotely relevant or successful console were being served in some way except for the Playstation, which wouldn’t see an entry until 1998. It seems strange to still be releasing Super Famicom games at this point, but White Bomberman and the crew did have some loose ends to wrap up within the Super subseries, after all.

Bomberman B-Daman

Thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of Bomberman throughout the early 90s, it was only natural that Hudson would want to invest in merchandising the franchise, and Takara seized the opportunity in a way that would go on to be lucrative for years. After striking a deal to use Bomberman as its basis and with the input of Hudson Soft’s Shigeki Fujiwara, B-Daman, a line of marble-shooting toys was born. It may sound simple nowadays, but the idea was successful enough to warrant anime, manga, additional toy lines, and card games over the years. The concept itself was also expanded upon with customizable parts that could be used to create B-Daman toys with different specialties and multiple rulesets that determined whether you’d be shooting at your opponent or something else. Until the Battle B-Daman line was brought westward in 2005 courtesy of Hasbro alongside the anime of the same name, the series remained exclusive to East Asian countries (in “official” capacities, anyway) and the Bomberman installments tied to it remained exclusive as well. Bomberman B-Daman was both the first B-Daman game and the first of them to prominently focus on the Bombers, but later entries would have fully distinct identities separate from the character that served as its foundation.
