A YouTuber I keep up with made a video about the fan-made English translation patch for Bulk Slash on the Sega Saturn. In his video, he kept saying the game was really hard to play without understanding the in-game direction prompts, which are all delivered in Japanese. I kept getting the feeling he's exaggerating how badly one needs to know Japanese to play Bulk Slash. Don't Sega Saturn fans count that as a language agnostic game? I'm not fluent enough to understand the soliloquy delivered by Bulk Slash's main bad guy at the end, but I could understand the "forward", "left", "right", "behind you" prompts, so maybe I'm not the best judge of this. Hence the poll. |

I'd say yes. It's not that complicated to navigate. It's awesome that it has an English version now, though.

I'm guessing I maybe could.
I beat this game as a kid via emulation. This was before the Cell Saga was airing on Toonami. Heck, maybe even before the Namek Saga concluded. Weird game, but we kids did anything to play obscure/Japanese stuff back then haha.

I played through one of these Taiwanese Genesis games, a SRPG, through its entirety through emulation, too, when I was young and had all the time in the world. Fengshen Yingjiechuan. Surprised I remembered that title. So yeah, with a little perseverance, I'm sure an action game like Bulk Slash is very playable in Japanese. But it's always nice to have the translation.

Based on what I'm seeing glancing over this guide: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/saturn/574065-bulk-slash/faqs/43038I'm gonna say you wouldn't need a translation to beat Bulk Slash. Nor would you need this guide. Though it's nice a fan translation exists. It's really games with adventure mechanics and RPG aspects where translations go into mandatory zone. |
