I played Wrecking Crew '98! I don't know Japanese too well, but I do a very good job at learning how to play the game real fast... and the original version is provided in full English!

Zig Zag Cat plays like Sailor Moon Fuwa Fuwa Panic 1 and 2 in some way, but it's more like a breakout-type game... ball and paddle, that is. I can provide screenshots of Japanese text if you want. The only stuff that is in English are "Game Over", "Episode 1", and "Stage (insert number here)". However, I know my basic translation knowledge; I know Yes and No in the games because of basic knowledge with selecting these. I also know New Game and Load Game for the same reason. However, I still don't know quite a bit. In The Shinri Game 2 and 3, which are more like , I mindlessly/randomly select options/answers. This actually helps; if I don't know the text, then sometimes this can work to an advantage because I can grab the music, although with less detail on the titles that I provide when I dump the SPCs. Yes, I dump SPCs of games. I am working on dumping complete (or close to that) SPC sets of games that haven't been put on the site yet. I do a rather speedy job on some of these games, and my emulator, SNES9X, gets the job done real well.

OK, before I go too far off topic, let's look up more games that are similar to Panel de Pon. I know one possible game this might go under... Dolucky's Puzzle Tour. I only assume this from screenshots I've found online.

It is only vaguely similar in gameplay style, but Dharma Doujou would be a good SNES puzzler to make a translation for. You not only have the menu, but also some scripts throughout each stage of the game that come up after you beat a set of levels. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:



And here's a refresher of what the game is like in case anyone forgot:



I looked all through this thread and searched both on RHDN and the internet for translation projects for this, got nothing, so I'm fairly certain no one has taken a stab at it yet, although if I'm wrong, sorry and feel free to correct me. ^_^

I think it's got potential for a nice little translation project.

Nice one, Kefka. I'll have a look at that after getting through Kirby's game. Good thing this topic was made or else I would have never learned about it. Japanese always amaze when it comes to game design like this. It's just soo, well you know.  Grin
