New patches came out this week providing critical improvements to the first Shiren the Wanderer and Torneko's Great Adventure games' translations on the Super Famicom, so I'm poking those. The Aeon Genesis patch for Fūrai no Shiren in particular was a major pain point for me for ages, what with it rendering riceballs as "onigiri" in JUST ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU style, but while some enemies and items (Haboon, otogiri-so) still maintain their Japanese names, the new patch is a huge improvement and fixes a lot of bugs the AG patch had, such as the "arrow fell on the ground" message not displaying, or the pickpocket guys never displaying how much gitan they stole. Very nice.

The Torneko patch uses the script from this month's new official HD re-release so it should be rad, if I can swallow my burning hatred for DraQue.
