Help translating a videogame. - 09-15-2011, 03:10 AM

Hi, I'm new to the forum and sorry for coming immediately here and start asking for help before introducing myself. Well, the thing is, I make videos showing how to beat different videogames and I intend to take on a game called Don Doko Don 2 that was never released outside Japan and that no one has done any kind of translation, at least I haven't found anything throughout the years, so, having a translation of the game's (scarce) dialogue could add something to my videos.

Don't worry though, I've tried myself and I think I've got most of the lines in the game translated (with the help of Google Translate and online dictionaries), except for a few ones that's where I ask for your help, also would appreciate if you can check the lines I've translated myself. The game only uses kana though, I'll be writing the lines like that (no kanji at all, and exactly like they appear in the game) and my translation in bold text, also, I add a link to a screenshot of the game so you can see the context where the line is said.
