What's the narrative in the Japanese version of Ghost House?
Post Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2022 7:40 pm
I noticed Mickey has pointy ears like the vampires. Maybe he is a half-bred? I don't understand a word of Japanese, so I have no idea about what the Japanese box and manual are saying. Can anyone explain it to me? Is the Japanese backstory the same as the American backstory for this title?

Here’s what Google Translate made of it (OCR and translation):

Quote
ドラキュラ館にはコウモリ、死神、赤いゴーストやミイラ男がうろうろ。知の巣のワナ、飛びくる矢にナイフ。ドラキュラを倒して秘宝を取り戻せ。

Bats, grim reaper, red ghosts and mummy guys roam the Dracula Hall. A trap in the nest of knowledge, a knife on a flying arrow. Defeat Dracula and regain the treasure.


Deepl on the same OCR:

Quote
Bats, the Grim Reaper, red ghosts and mummy men wander around the Dracula House. There are traps in the web of knowledge, flying arrows and knives. Defeat Dracula and get the treasure back.

Thank you, Maxim. It seems the plot is basically the same on all regions. Still, the Japanese box art, as the character's art in-game, hints at Mickey also being a vampire, with his long teeth and long ears. Or maybe half-vampire, since the lights can't stop him.
