North American gamers would know the first Battle Mania as Trouble Shooter, and though it was a fantastic game in 1991, the sequel took everything that was done well and improved upon it extensively. Sadly, very few people in North America had the chance to enjoy this game as it was deemed “too Japanese” for a North American audience. Those who went to the lengths of importing the game, unless fluent in Japanese, wouldve missed out on the story, so tragically this masterpiece was essentially unknown in the western hemisphere. All this changed with the dawn of the internet and rom hacking when MIJET released a fan translation patch that makes BMD playable in English! Psyched yet? You should be, this game is one of the best on the system.
