How Can I Find English Translations for Japanese Games?

-

I recently got my hands on some Japanese consoles and games, including the N64, GameCube, Wii, and Wii U. I later realized that I can’t play any of these games in English. I’m looking for ways to play them in English, and I think translation might be the solution, but I’m having trouble finding English patches—like for Mario Party 7, for example. Does anyone know where I could find helpful resources or communities that focus on game translations? Thanks!

Keep in mind that some games, like Mario Party 7, may already have English versions released. If you can find a patch, just make sure you can actually use it properly. You could also try using a translation app on your phone for some quick help!

CDRomance is a great resource for finding translation patches and ROM hacks. They might have what you’re looking for! Just search for the specific game you want and see if there’s a patch available.

Check out Romhacking.net; they have translation patches for various games. It’s a solid site for getting started with translations! Just keep in mind that it mainly focuses on older systems, but you might find some hidden gems there.

I looked there too, but it seems like they mainly cover classic consoles like the NES and SNES. Still worth a browse, though!
