These unused Kanji are found in a font used by the old men in Black Tiger. The old men give you items or provide hints when you rescue them.

Thank you!

Found two more, smaller Kanji characters. These are the only 8x8 Kanji characters in this font. Might be a name?

The first character was written in such a tiny font that I can't make it out very well (訂 (revise, correct) perhaps)?
完 is "end"; Not sure about it being a name, but it most likely isn't.

(Not sure of translation here)

I've never played the game, but a 協力技 is almost certainly some kind of cooperative special attack. Chrono Trigger had these -- you combine one guy's fire attack with Chrono's spinny sword attack, etc.

So this means: "Shit, I/you can't do a cooperative attack with somebody." Needs context to be translated into normal English.

I have no choice but study really hard,
oh-ho-ho.

"No choice but to study hard, oh-ho-ho." Not necessarily "I".

The rest of the images are just designer/programmer filler text.

Two unused dialogue lines from Touhou EoSD, before I (finally) do the article. Links provided for context.

Reimu: 久々のお仕事だわ。(from Reimu's stage 1)

Flandre: 悪い子は、帰らなくてもいいのよ (from Reimu's extra stage)

Hm. I was rooting through TWW's .blo files, which basically define where 2D images are on-screen, like the menu and the HUD. I seem to have stumbled across some strings used to test the Japanese font:

風のタクトダンスを踊った！

フォントの表示テストです。ウィンドウに対して置かれる文字の位置はこのテキスト配置を参考にして下さい。

They're either test strings, or comments put into the file to clarify what a section defined. It seems that this is all there is, though.

The first string is "Danced the Wind Duct Dance".

The second string is "This is a font display test. Please refer to this text position when placing the letters' locations in relation to the window."

More Touhou stuff. The Lotus Land Story trial version has unused music commentary for songs which were removed from the full version of the game.

               4面のテーマ           

    一番の異色作ですね。              

    なんか、一定のリズムで淡々と進む曲

  です。                              

    ちょっと、かなしげっぽいメロディが

  う~ん。                            

    こういう曲、どうです?    



No.14         <Border Land>         

;                                     

               最終面のテーマ         

    これは、短い曲ですね(^^;;;;       

  いわゆる、せっぱずまった感を出したか

  ったんですよ。                      

    なんか、メロディ(なんてあるか?)

  が、夢時空のスタッフロールみたいな気

  が・・・(自分の曲だし、いっか(^^;)



No.21        <Crescent Dream>       

;                                     

            スタッフロールの曲        

    スタッフロールは、やっぱりかっこよ

  く(あんたはそれしかいえんのか(^^;)

    でも、この曲ってけっこう和風じゃな

  いかしら。まぁ、私が和風ってどういう

  ものなのかわかってないけど・・      

  (でも、もちろん、侍魂の曲の様なやつ

    を目指してるわけではないのであしか

　　らず、どっちかっていうと姫神みたい

　　なやつね)

No. 9
Stage 4's Theme

Isn't this the the single best work?
Well, it's a song with an uninteresting progression on a fixed rhythm.
Wait, I wonder if there's a melody hidden here...hm.
What is it with this song?

Apologies in advance if my translation needs work

No.14 Final Stage's Theme
This is a short tune (

As they say, giving the feeling of being at wit's end,
Or something like that, melody. (What is it?)
But, it's like a staff roll in a dream sky kind of feeling,
But, that's my tune, I'm done. (^^

Tried translating a bit of the second, but it seems to be giving me trouble.

Here's some more text related to six unused mini-games from Mario Party 2. I know the mini-game names have already been translated, but perhaps the newly-discovered descriptions can be used to get a better idea of their true meanings.

Thanks! From the what these say, it sounds like more Mario Party 1 mini-games were intended to make a comeback.

Exciting Pipe Lottery seems to be Pipe Maze with slightly different rules (trophies of different values instead of a treasure chest)
Lucky Coin Grab could be Coin Shower Flower in a different environment (with the three players previously riding leaves now riding gems), with different rules (they can fall down, which isn't possible in Coin Shower Flower).
Dangerous Tug of War is a 2 vs. 2 Tug o' War with different controls, due to the analog stick controversy from the first game. Its Japanese name is even identical to Mario Party's.
Rapid Rafting: Paddle Battle, but with altered controls, teams removed, and springs added.
Note Step sounds like Musical Mushroom, but with a floating note instead of a treasure chest, and a block that can be hit from below instead of the titular mushroom. The latter change would make the game less one-sided.
Treasure Diving: Identical to Treasure Divers from Mario Party.

I was tearing apart Pokemon Snap in hope of finding some unused content from the early videos. All I was able to find is this screen, level ID 0x18 and last on the table.

Among other things, I now have useless documentation on music format, level script/polygon data locations in the rom, free movement which works poorly because it stops each section of the level being loaded, and this photo which Professor Oak better give me top marks for.
