MMBN6: Boktai Scenario (English Translation)

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

Capcom: How about we remove ~10 chips, a boss battle, 3 areas, and a sub-plot. I am sure nobody will mind.

[@zapperil]

This and Starforce in a nutshell

[@GreigaSP]

Wasn't there a real reason for it? Like copyrights?

[@zernek9199]

@@GreigaSP No, it's because the crossover related to Boktai 3, which never released outside of Japan. So...I guess it's because it felt wrong to have a crossover outside of Japan be related to a Japan-only game? I really don't know. Maybe it was copyright, but if it was, they never told us.

[@swampert564]

They removed it so they could fit the english script on the cartridge. Should have left the cyberbeast giga chips for sure though.

[@Rihcterwilker]

@@swampert564 it is about the time and resources to translate it, really, not space. Most of the time, side-content like this won't be transported during translation because they have a short deadline and prefer to rather focus on the main story.

[@anexplosion5436]

Megaman: Will we meet again? Django: Of course! *at Kojima's headquarters* Kojima: meet again, sorry, i thought you said, get replaced, and then discontinued.

[@LordTyph]

Well, Kojima WAS working at Konami...

[@TheAzulmagia]

In all fairness, Django's story ended with Boktai 3 and Battle Network ended with 6. It's entirely possible they met more in the future and we just didn't see it. They already met four times between Battle Network 4, Boktai 2, Boktai 3, and Battle Network 6. The real shame is Aaron and Lucian meeting Geo once or twice, with both meetings not being shown to international audiences despite both their games being brought overseas, and then never being mentioned again.

[@rogue1248]

I'LL BE SO HAPPY IF THE LEGACY COLLECTION BRINGS BACK THIS GEM OFFICIALLY

[@lonerstance1530]

It does I found it lol

[@BlackBeartic229]

It feels too good to know what they are saying after ALL of these years

[@thespyer2k]

Django's legs are so thin it looks like he's floating.

[@kamitik7283]

Ikr, I thought he was short

[@kamitik7283]

Ikr, I thought he was short

[@hyewonlovebot]

YEARS later and i'm still salty as fuck that they removed this from the English version

[@SpikeRose]

Imagine the pain someone who just found out about this whole scenario *today* must be going through.

[@TheBleahx]

Never heard of boktai till i played the mmbn series

[@doomdesire6668]

Damn, this brings back fond memories of the time I was 12 and was playing boktai and MMBN every day...I am glad to see this crossover translated, since it was clearly stupid of capcom not including it in the english version...you know what? I am gonna start from MMBN and Boktai 1 and replay all of these awesome games. AND this time I will finally play the final crossover!

[@DavidZakuzaRyutashi]

hell yes, finally we can see what the english capcom has been hiding from us all this time

[@Kettz]

Django's so talkative in the Megaman games when he barely utters a word in his actual source material... it's a crossover, I know, but is there any indication of it being in actual continuity with the Boktai games?

[@SuperNormalMan]

He's a bit more talkative in the third game.

[@Kettz]

yeah he is, i'll give you that, but really, in these games, he's such a chatter box. It's actually refreshing to see him so energetic. i just found it unexpected

[@syrelian]

Kettz well in Boktai 2/Zoktai you can Purify ShadeMan.EXE on NG+, you even get the MegaBuster and Armor, so yes, it seems the Continuity accepts them from both sides, even if you don't play the same scenario from both sides

[@legacysales1674]

If i remember correctly The boktai series was a game created by kojima himself and the cartridge had a solar panel-like act as the ammo on the game forcing you(the player) to bath your GameboyA on the sun to reload your gun

[@Nexit1337]

Yeah, you need sun to solve stupid puzzles too

[@someclevername8167]

That’s a really interesting design, tho I bet that could get annoying lol

[@cleanerwhite9470]

some genius who is also a MMBN fan, plss become the head of Capcom and continue the series. I know ur out there somewhere.

[@tiarabite]

tbf the game did end conclusively by the 6th game

[@alvarocious1528]

If I were in charge, I would push for an anime reboot with a good studio(use some old opening songs Be somewhere and maybe some new ones) with a plot that follows the game's better. A remaster of each game, in a collection on the switch. Anime cinematics for cut scenes, updated graphics, and voice actors. If the MMBN anime would do well I'd then push for a StarForce anime with mixed elements of the games and the show. Then release a remastered SF 1-3, while I think that series wrapped up well for Geo, I'd try and focus on a different character for a sequel to close out the Duo threat that would come around that time, and have his or her own story be the second half of that series with Geo as a secondary lead.

[@spiketrap8212]

While you're at it, also make Megaman battle networ 6 cybeast grezar

"In Another Few Hours The Sun Will Rise" - Tristan

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

I find it infinitely funny how they used Django's Boktai 1 sprite when he's facing north but used the 2 sprite when facing south.

[@darrylaz3570]

OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED FOR LEGACY COLLECTION LET'S GOOO!!!!

[@aryamanbhandari8536]

OOOOOUUUUUUUUU

[@bluebirdsigma]

The Japanese ROM should be translated fully. Most of the game can be copypasted from the English release, but this and the missing undernet/graveyard areas and giga chips need to be played.

[@MidniteWv4]

It has by another person, actually!

[@crthejediknightninja]

MidniteWv4 Link? :3

[@ANIMALBIOLENTO]

chilly raptor forums.therockmanexezone.com/topic/8886349/1/ Unfortunately only Faltzer version was translated and the patch doens't work on Greiga version (I tried it)...

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

I wonder if someone someday will try to rebake the hack for Gregar...so both versions of the game are equally viable to play.

[@theotakuguy8957]

BlitzkriegOmega Now it is

[@SoulRed12]

"Boktai is not selling well. Better remove all traces of it by mutilating Battle Network 6!" Genius. Srsly tho, thanks for uploading. I've always been curious about this.

[@oi_bruv]

Supposedly, english text takes up more space than Japanese, and they did include all those special bbs quests without needing an e reader But yeah, I wish immortal area was in english bn6

[@Sdrarolf]

I remember hearing of Boktai, wish I could have played it.

[@coltj5907]

Boktai should've gotten a DS collection like megaman zero

[@Ze33roX]

I don't get why Capcom removed the Cyberspace Maps too, they looked so useful in the early playthrough.

[@rasubosu355]

Hats off to you good sir for showing us the video 😃 This is truly awesome to see Boktai in Megaman BN 🐸🐸🤙🤙🤘🤘

[@RyuuichiRSF]

Oh, fans have been dreaming about this for years! This is great c: I remember the old times in MMBN hacking when we used to think this couldn't be done.

[@dudemevill1699]

I played Boktai about 2 weeks ago and now I remember why Django looked so familiar.

[@Shamazya]

His name is the Count in the English games. However, it is still possible in EXE 6 to get the Count's battlechip (Although you'll experience errors with the chip). The Count's battlechip was translated as 'Hack Jack' as a transliteration of Hakushaku.

[@p1nkfreud]

All hail the mighty Super2xSai!!!!! It's a technical marvel to make games made to be played on like 320x200 look great at 1080p

[@jemcel0397]

I've always wondered why Immortal Area is separated from Graveyard. Capcom should've just used this as Graveyard 3.

[@autumnshinespark]

Wait, how does Lan know what space-time is?

[@Sendencea]

On that intro, Django gets an 11.5.

[@Commander6444]

Why the fuck was this removed!? I haven't even heard of Boktai before, but I wasn't confused by anything in the video. There was absolutely no need to bastardize the game like this. Just imagine if Marth, Roy, and Lucas were taken out of Super Smash Bros just because most western audiences hadn't heard of them before. Capcom... God, you guys were idiots in 2005. And you've only gotten worse. MUCH worse.

[@MidniteWv4]

If you haven't heard of Boktai then you have no reason to get like this. This scenario and boss is a tie-in with Boktai 3, which game did not get localized. Konami was probably the one that asked to take it out since there was no reason to cross advertise each other. This issue carried on to Lunar Knights because Konami tried so hard to remove certain tie-ins to Boktai.

[@Commander6444]

MidniteWv4 Just because the advertising would be lost on North Americans doesn't mean that content, the stuff customers pay for, should be stripped away like that. And besides, Boktai related stuff still remains in the game anyways (the poster in Lan's room comes to mind). So unless Konami had to pay extra for the stuff to reach North America, there really isn't any good reason for chips and a boss to be removed. And if Konami really was persistent on removing content, how hard would it have been to change a couole sprites? Turn the count into Shademan snd Django into some sort of sun Navi. Bam, done.

[@MidniteWv4]

Commander6444 The remaining Boktai stuff was confusing. Maybe because it isn't exactly using the copyrighted characters? The Gun Del Sol is an object and the Django pictures look vague in pixel art. They probably had the material translated already since there's leftover text of the Count fight, as well as Konami credited. So someone did pull out at the last second. And the last part, it WOULD be hard because it would require a time, effort and many people.

[@crthejediknightninja]

MidniteWv4 I recently hacked the game and I found all these chips and was like da fuq? All three Django chips do not work but the program advance still works, that shows how late it was pulled. For the count I understand why he was pulled as how it is related to blood and such, though they kept the side story with Django for BN4 and the gundelsol EX still works so they planned for that one to be found and used (likely from gold mystery data or they just never found a place to put it). In all honesty I am normally not a person to support censorship but to hit the target audience (10-14) they needed either E or E10+ but, I do wish they would re-release all BN games packed together with everything that they had taken out.

[@near5espada2]

chilly raptor they didnt take out the count of ground soaking blood because of the blood they took out the whole scenario due to the fact that 3rd (and greatest) boktai (sabata's counterattack) game was never going to be released outside of japan, because outside of japan the games didnt do well sales wise. it is truly a shame because the 3rd game was amazing much better than the first 2. anywho apart from this scenario being removed they also removed the crossover battle option, which is just like in bn5 where you fight shademan with megaman and django respectively, here the count would have been the target.

[@TheAlox9]

I'm so glad they added this to the Legacy Collection

[@elementalcolors4977]

Should've known I wasn't the first to think of a character who can weaponize his own blood directly. Ah well. To think you've gotten so far with only 140 HP and no other Crosses than Spout! Not that it matters much in a video like this, but I always feel like Crosses are so worth getting in these games (one of my favorite features, really).

[@djt08031996]

I've got one who weaponizes her own Dark Soul

[@Alabaster-White]

Still don't get why they didn't have this in 6 when they let it slide in 3.

[@KINFIN123]

Six years late but... Since Boktai 3 was never coming to the states, and this stuff is linked directly to Boktai 3, I’m guessing they removed the content just because of the link.

[@akidibrahim906]

Wait but is there new boktai series I think the last one is on ds right?

[@KINFIN123]

Akid Ibrahim it’s a single game titled Lunar Knights in America, and it was a one off. Didn’t have any of the same characters, tho it did have the same archetypes.

[@sonamiku1121]

damn now im buying JP version just to play it personally and see it on my own eyes.

[@BugRaiser]

They had the extra in BN 4 why the fuck did they remove it from the US version.

[@MirbyStudios]

Thanks! I've always wanted to see what this scenario entailed. :3

[@soldjuank3910]

That translation of the Count's Battle Chip..... Is curious they used "Hakushaku" direct translation of the word "Count" to change it to "HackJack" Cuirous indeed

[@NeoArashi]

Love how The Count has in-battle cutscenes. =)

[@MegaRockReborn]

Saves are included in the download link at TREZ for those who want to play it for themselves.

[@MisterX867]

I wonder if they'll remove all the Boktai stuff from the upcoming re-releases.

[@bahaedablackaceenthusiast9955]

What am surprised the most is that there is an actual map

[@yusukepinky18]

that look so awesome. thanks for showiing it : :)

[@NiftyGam3r]

This was the most sexiest crispiest recording ive ever seen. What device you used to record this?

[@БрухБрух-щ7и]

Vui Programmer is a emulator, not s simulator.

[@t-universegamer7609]

@Vui Programmer also, he asked the program he used to record, not play

[@t-universegamer7609]

@Vui Programmer by device, he can also mean some kind of capture card

[@sonamiku1121]

im back here again, hopefully MMBN Legacy collection will have this! because If Gregar & Falzar & Double Beast Chips are in... then they should boktai sidequest too!

[@nullandvoid7524]

So this is why 6s post-game felt so lackluster. It's literally just a boss rush then the final 2 Bass battles. Strange how they left this out

[@nightschao435]

Whe n I saw Hackushaku name as the Count I though. 1 cookie aah ahh 2 cookie. aah aah

[@twilightdusk8795]

*thunder*

[@ZeroCanalX]

By the time when MMBN6 was released in US, the Boktai series' popularity in America sank and Capcom was afraid, that putting the Boktai elements will destroy the sales of the game as well.

[@tadayarukun11]

I have a question: Where can i fight CountEX. Im roaming at the imortalArea and still not found his EXencounter.

[@Minhfongboy]

one question, whats the input code for django chip? how did you make him slash after riding his bike anyway?

[@MidniteWv4]

L L L A while he's riding.

[@Minhfongboy]

MidniteWv4 all V1,2,3? and i still cant do it, just like how i tried second slash of acid ace in SF3 but never works -_-

[@MidniteWv4]

***** Yeah, you just need to practice the timing.

[@Cirex2118]

I wish they would bring back Mega man battle network also would be a good idea to get all the battle networks available to download in the shop for 3ds with all secret content for the games like this..

[@RonOBronze]

HOW DO YOU LOAD THE IPS FILE TRANSLATION

[@ytmingo9035]

[@yvthanrosemary]

Avery Graham thats what i was thinking

[@Drew_King1]

Take the hint yo...guess you don't understand

[@TheAzulmagia]

I have to wonder why they used the Boktai 1/2 sprite for Django in this game instead of the Boktai 3 one. Did this game come out before Boktai 3?

[@blackrockshooterbrs894]

the translation patch for the game is very good and I finally was able to play the part that has been deleted from the English version

[@BugRaiser]

Bro if they add this to the legacy collection

[@yvthanrosemary]

What happened to the hakushaku crossover theme??

[@Mgamerz]

Wow. That's very impressive! Good job! Back when I was hacking we didn't dream of adding new areas.

[@dwecktek]

They better include these levels in the legacy collection

[@MidniteWv4]

I need help. I beat gregar but idk what else I can do on the game can someone tell me what to do. PLS HELP!!!

Is the 100% the American release of the game with the exception of the said removed content (Graveyard 2, Count, Django, etc.)?

[@dogek9unit826]

[@D3nz3lCr0ck3r]

Why did they remove this in the first place? This subplot is amazing!!!

[@phantaivinhtien7153]

Copyright issues remember that

[@dontcareaboutu10011]

I have never played mmbn6 so I'm a little confuse. Based on the comments did Capcom not translate this scene in the English version or did they just remove this scene entirely?

[@Klonoahedgehog]

Capcom removed it because it was a collab with Boktai 3, but Boktai 3 was never released outside of Japan so there was no reason to bring this over.

[@GozetaZero]

Only the boktai part got translated ?

[@kunlesanders]

Master Otenko: May the sun be with you ! Me: Star Wars reference anyone?

[@herrscherofgenesis3278]

May the force be with you...lol

[@yvthanrosemary]

[@EduardoGarcia-bq5ko]

Is this a gba rom hack??? If it is then ill download it

[@otakuthegreat]

I'm the 666th like Would be awesome to see this restored in a Battle Network Collection

[@qisotwprofessionalsentvid6675]

would be awesome to port battle network collection on the nintendo switch

[@ByakuyaChaos01]

the scene itself is not a hack. The hack is that its in english instead of japanese.

[@amrifaesal]

I haven't see Django in megaman 6, this is hack or real megaman 6

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

Its real. Only in Japanese version I afraid. This have removed in English version

[@Santagranada]

What filter did you use

[@carmelitafox9180]

Tell me how to unlock the immortal area!

[@No_One_1]

its a hack

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

Its only in Japanese version. The person who play this is english patch.

[@kylemiller659]

Would be nice if they had a Gregar version...

[@Corruptor366]

so does the hack only work on a japanese version?

[@juan_1oo1o47]

as long as i wished mmbn series still going i think this was a great way to end the series. But i would like a collection of mmbn on my steam library and being able to play against other net battlers around the world :>

[@KyonV13]

play One Step From Eden. It has similar battle mechanics and even a pvp mode.

[@Kuribohdudalala]

Pile Trap? That's not even a thing, I don't think.

[@MidniteWv4]

I checked, it was in Boktai 3. Can't remember what it did, though.

[@chrisnemo6799]

Huh, so it was. I don't remember making use of it at all. Weird.

[@CherenAlexanderTheCat]

It stunned an enemy and damaged them while they were on it and you were doing the Sunlight Charge. It greatly increased item drop rates of enemies killed with it, so it's extremely useful for farming items.

[@syafiq1575]

This is real?

[@MakotoTsuguri]

Its about time something like this happened for real. Now if only someone could fix up BN4's horrid translation.

[@redpsycogama1347]

best crossove.

[@redpsycogama1347]

crossover

[@CMDRThunderush]

Capcom seems to have a love-hate relationship with Mega Man. As soon as it does too well, they find some new way to punch it in the balls. Remove a decent postgame quest because the crossover source material is flagging in Japan? Why not let Americans in on the mix? Boktai is awesome! You harness the power of the freaking sun and fight vampires!!
