Historical Documents

Hello everbody, today we have something a little different. Instead of writing about the translation project directly, we'll look at something from Tingle's Love Balloon Trip's publishing history.

A couple of days ago, joesteve pointed me to a website with a couple of interviews and other articles by and about Vanpool, the company that made the game. It's styled in a "classroom" theme and I thought it was really neat. Especially the first page, which is done in the style of a board game of sorts and reveals details about the events at Vanpool between the release of Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and Tingle's Love Balloon Trip.

I liked it so much that I made a rough translation that I'd like to present without further ado.

Update: View the image in full resolution!

Enjoy!

    I saw your thread on romhacking, but I didn't have an account there to comment and thank you guys for your efforts. Everything looks great! Thanks again for your hard work and take as long as needed; don't get burnt out :)

      Thanks! I'm glad creating a rhdn thread was worthwhile :)

      Don't worry, we won't get burnt out, there's far to much work that's been done for it to go to waste :)

    Keep the updates coming, it's nice to keep hearing that this is ongoing. My copy of the game hasn't seen any use because I don't understand Japanese and I simply got the game originally for collection purposes, but the knowledge that I'll someday be able to play it will make me even more glad that I DID purchase the game when it was new and that I also got to enjoy it, rather than it being pretty with the rest of my zelda games on a shelf.

      Thanks!
      More than likely though you will need a flashcart to play this translation. You can dump a rom off your cartridge using a ds(i) + flashcart, or a 3ds + cfw.
      Just wanted to let you know ;)
