Spain. I would be willing to ship them (I know some crazy people on shmups system 11 have) but for that I would need a buyer :lol:

BTW, do you guys know if the shmups forums have a Buy/Sell board? Or do I have to post a certain amount of messages before I'm allowed to see it?

Gahh, I've hit a gaming slump. I don't know if it's just need of a new game dragging on me, the weirdness of being back in school yet having 10 free hours a day, the fact that my room at school is tiny, or if I'm just not feeling it.

I'm also in "CLEAN THE GUTTERS!" mode, staring at my PS3 collection and trying to decide what to sell. I have four "absolute sells", with a couple (Max Payne 3, which I loved at first but now feels extremely meh, and ICO/Shadow of the Colossus, which were fun, but I don't see playing again) on the "maybe" list. I'm also geared to get another console, but as to what I'm not sure. Leaning towards just getting one of the current gens, as garage sales and local shops have proven to not only be near baren, but high priced for retro games.

Thought you were done with GBA JRPGs? Maybe not! 15 years after its initial release, Magical Vacation has been fan translated into English:

Ooh, I remember reading about that back when the GBA came out. Was disappointed we never got it, and was disappointed in the sequel period. :P

I also remember when Magical Vacation came out, and being disappointed that we weren't getting it. I think it'd be funny to send myself an email from the future and say:

"Don't worry, you'll get this game in English eventually. Except it will be in 2016. Yes dude, fifteen years later you will stare care about GBA games. I'm sorry."


Whether or not Magical Vacation is a good game, I dunno. I LOVE the art style though.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Man I keep seeing your posts and thinking 'awesome, I should buy tha game and play it now it's in English' and forgetting.

Maybe we should start a thread for these translation announcements? Then I can read back over it to remind myself :lol:

As Exhuminator pointed out to me a while back, the best way to keep up is to go to http://romhacking.net. Click Translations, then sort by date on the list.

EDIT: Or, just bookmark this link: http://www.romhacking.net/?page=transla ... order=Date

Dang, that's Mana level sprite background work.

Did any of you guys play Soma Bringer? I'm still pissed we never got that. Thanks Nintendo.
