I adoredRetro Game Challenge, the localization ofGame Center CXfor the Nintendo DS. Sadly, not enough people were willing to take a risk on such a quirky title and odds for its sequel to see release in Western markets weresquashed to nillong ago.
There may yet be hope for fans like myself who would love to experience a new round of retro-inspired games. Tiny Cartridge received curious videos over the last few days featuring footage fromGame Center CX 2which contained English text. While some hoped that this might be a sign of a publisher picking up the game, sadly, that is not the case.
In actuality, the videos are the work of Xvirus, who has also worked on translation patches forShiren the Wanderer DS 2andTorneko no Daibouken Advance. But neither of those patches are actually finished, as Xvirus cannot seem to keep a translator around long enough to get the job done. That’s often how these things wind up working out and I can’t say I am any more optimistic about the success of this venture as any other of its type. Which is to say, not at all.
