Well, slather me in oil and send me down a hill. A Ch? Aniki has finally received a fan translation. This one is for the Super Famicom?s Ch? Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen, which the team of muscle fanatics has translated to Ch? Aniki: Buff Battle Ballad.


If you?re not already savvy, the Ch? Aniki series is a collection of wonderful kusoge (https://www.destructoid.com/tag/weekly-kusoge/) (crap games). Each game is a ridiculous celebration of absurd body-building physique and normally comes packed with bizarre homoeroticism. The first game was released on the PC-Engine Super CD-ROM? System in 1992. A typical Ch? Aniki is a horizontal scrolling shoot-?em-up, but the series has long dabbled with other genres. Ch? Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen is a 1995 Super Famicom fighting game.

The series hasn?t been strictly exclusive to Japan (https://www.destructoid.com/cho-aniki-coming-to-virtual-console-you-are-so-not-ready/). Cho Aniki Zero was released over here on PSP (https://www.destructoid.com/cho-aniki-zero-prepares-for-insertion-into-your-psp/). Meanwhile, the PlayStation version of Ch? Aniki: Kyuukyoku Muteki Ginga Saikyou Otoko was ported to PS3 and PSP via the PSOne Classic lineup, but they were provided as-is. That is to say, they were not translated. However, they weren?t especially difficult to figure out for Anglophones.


For that matter, Ch? Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen wasn?t impossible to play for those who don?t know Japanese. However, it is nice to see it finally get a full translation, even if it?s not official. Considering how notorious the whole series is, it?s very surprising to me that this is the first time the series has seen a fan translation. Yet, that statement was made on the mod?s page, so I fact-checked it and found it to be true. Weird.


The Ch? Aniki: Buff Battle Ballad comes to us from modders Pennywise, Ryusui, and FlashPV. The patch can be found right over here (https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7047/).
