Rockman Perfect Memories
Here is the first bit of my attempt at translating the 15th anniversary edition of Rockman Perfect Memories.
I'm including the original Japanese text in addition to the translation
both as a reference for myself and for anyone who is better at Japanese
than I am, since it's been a good two and a half years since I had any
sort of formal instruction in the language and I've only had 3
semesters in high school and 2 semesters in college.
Translation corrections are more than welcome. Stuff in brackets [like this] is me talking, not the book.
My name-kanji skills are not l33t enough to decipher the name of the writer, but this is all owned by Capcom. The text is not mine in any way, shape, or form. I don't feel too bad about putting chunks of the text out here because I think this book is now out of print and extremely hard to find.
