Hack Showcases and RPG Hack Showcases are a series where I show off various game and rpg hacks. I try to stick with hacks that improve gameplay or add quality of life features, completely or partially change the plot and characters, along with additional content, dialogue, graphical and sound improvements. Non-rpgs I try to give a full run to, or at least enough for a solid review. Rpgs I will stick with titles that have enough changes in the beginning to show off, and when I can, show parts later in the games where more differences appear. There may be spoilers in the reviews and videos. Some of these I may stream fully in the future or play on my own. Reviews are open to later revisions due to bug and content updates or me playing them and finding anything new I wish to bring up.
Seeing how both of these are more gameplay/translation hacks, I won’t have that much to say about them except for how they work, etc, so I’ll include some mini-reviews of both games too. I also briefly played the original versions of both games for a few minutes before jumping into the hacks to get a better idea of the changes, and the fact I never played either game before.
The Last Battle translation hack by Emani S. Costa retranslates the Genesis title Last Battle back to its native Hokuto no Ken: Shin Seikimatsu Kyuuseishu Densetsu/Fist of the North Star, based on the anime and manga. All names, locations and attacks were changed back to what they were originally. Along with a re-translation, the hack improves on some gameplay aspects including changing the map some so it follows the anime and manga, adds the blood back in, and fixes some of the hit boxes, enemy and boss AI, enemy life bars and collision detection.
