Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu (がんばれゴエモン2 奇天烈将軍マッギネス) is a Action/Platformer 2D video game published by Konami released on December 22, 1993 for the Super Nintendo. And here they are, Ganbare Goemon 3 - Shishi Juurokubee no Karakuri Manjigatame and Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu full translation for Super Nintendo. This patch is for Goemon 2 on the Super Famicom.
The fan translation for Goemon 3 has now offered an alternative “slur free patch,” that removes a term that drew outcry from some individuals.
For those who missed our prior coverage, a fan translation of Ganbare Goemon 3: Shishijyūrokubei no Karakuri Manji Katame (roughly “Good Luck Goemon 3: Shishirokubei’s Mechanical Manji”) drew outcry.
One NPC in the game says “I’m actually a tranny… Should I tell my boyfriend the truth?” In Japanese the term “newhalf” (“ニューハーフ”) was used, slang for a transgender woman.
While indicative of the time and the tone of the scene, some users of Twitter and gaming forum ResetEra took extreme offense to it, and dogpilled the translator with abuse. After a public apology, the translator seemingly deleted his online presence, and indicated the incident “crushed [their] passion for translating.”
The project had up to that point allegedly taken “4 years of work,” and $400 USD “worth of research material for accurate translation.”
Now, DDS Translation has announced a new update for the ROM patch. As noted in the readme file on the website:
“Warning: This patch contains some controversial text.
The original Japanese script contained a word that is rather taboo, a word that does not translate directly into English.
The translator used an insensitive word in the translation, unaware that it was actually considered a slur.
If you would prefer to play the game without the slur, please apply the “slur free patch” instead.
The post-patch will remove the English slur and replace it with the original Japanese word, untranslated.
(Note that the scene in question is still rather offensive, even with the slur removed.)
Note that the translation does not reflect the personal views or beliefs of anyone who worked to make this game available in English.”
According to users on Twitter, the word in use now is “newhalf”, in English. It is unknown whether this patch was created with the original translator, or in their absence. This does mean that claims the project had been cancelled (as there was no other translator) had been exaggerated.
As of this time of writing, the original translator’s Twitter account is still gone.
Editor’s Note: Niche Gamer does not condone piracy or the use of ROMS when doing so would be deemed illegal.

Ganbare Goemon (がんばれゴエモン, 'Go for it, Goemon!'), known as Goemon and Mystical Ninja internationally, is a video game series created and produced by Konami. Etsunobu Ebisu is the joint producer of the franchise.
These games revolve around the main character, Goemon, and his exploits. His character is loosely based on Ishikawa Goemon, the noble thief of Japanese folklore. While the early games of emphasized Goemon as a noble thief, he eventually becomes more of a standard video game hero character. His trademarks are his blue bushy hair and weapon of choice, the kiseru. The games are set in a cartoon-like, mystical Feudal Japan, with many references to Japanese folklore. Although the series has its roots in action adventure, the Ganbare Goemon series has features from genres including role-playing, puzzle video games, and board games. Ganbare Goemon is popular in Japan. The series consists of video games, with its success spawning a wide series of merchandise and an anime and manga series.
Konami has generally regarded the Goemon games as too specific to the Japanese market to be released worldwide.[1] However, five of them have been released overseas: The Legend of the Mystical Ninja for the Super NES, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and Goemon's Great Adventure for the Nintendo 64 and two titles for the Game Boy.
In 2002-2003, a mobile phone was released for the titled Ganbare Goemon: Tsūkai Game Apli series.
The latest original game of the series was Ganbare Goemon: Tōkai Dōchū Ōedo Tengu ri Kaeshi no Maki, released in Japan for the Nintendo DS in 2005. Since then, the series has been used primarily as themes for Konami's pachislot machines.
