"Lost" Passwords
--------------

Throughout the game you will encounter chests guarded by keypad passwords.
There is no in-game means to discover these passwords, as they were included
as promotional items across various magazines and websites including Famitsu,
Amagami's official website, and Weekly Shounen Jump. As such we've included
the passwords in our patcher this time just clic "Lost password" option.

-MetalFan-
Well, it seems that we are at the end of the road, it has been a wonderful trip,
full of moments of joy, and of course of stumbling, it has been 1 year and nine
months of work since March 2020, but finally (I can’t believe it yet :) we are
ready to release our translation of the Metal Metal 2 Reloaded for NDS.
This patch would not have been possible without the great contribution of a
great group of people who I have enjoyed working with and from whom I have also
learned a lot. For this project we have the special help of Sai who translated
the entire script with excellent quality at an incredible speed.
Also with Colmines92 who, although he joined later, was instrumental in solving
problems of all kinds with his amazing hacking skills.
We hope you enjoy the translation. 
Who knows, maybe there are surprises for the future;)

It brings me joy to see that this translation is finished and released.
I'm proud to have played a part its construction.
Many thanks to MetalFan for his passion and dedication to get this finished.
Metal Max 2R is a high watermark for the series. Have fun.

Well, here we are – this is Metal Max 2 Reloaded, the remake of the original
Metal Max 2 released in the early 90s. This game adds a lot of new stuff into
the mix, such as more WANTED, quests, all of the QoL improvements from the earlier
game (Metal Max 3) and a lot of other good stuff. I’ve been involved in the project
as one of proofreader, so hopefully most of it looks presentable! The main translator
of this project was Sai, thanks to him this translation was possible at all, so
huge kudos to him for his peerless work and dedication. We had a discussion
regarding some terms, like some names, punny descriptions etc. and we managed to
come up with good replacements for most of the untranslateable bits.
Overall, the story in this case is rather straightforward,
like in most Metal Max games – it’s all the side activities/quests you do
that matter the most, rather than the main plot.
So, I hope you guys enjoy the fruits of our labour, and see you some other time!
