she's probably somebody that had multiple contracts and didn't want credit so she could still get work or whatever

>>7174118
There's no credits for Dr. Theo or the Beastector guys either. I think it's more that Enix didn't want to, or just didn't care.
The japanese seiyuu for Marina is known at least, because she even released the single CD with the theme song.

>>7174096
Because odds are strong that it was just the Japanese actress again. It's not like she has many lines anyway.

>>7174648
Hmm, the voice actors on Mischief Makers sound pretty native, though.

>>7174792
Good point. Now that I think about it, Marina's VA has a somewhat Midwest American accent, doesn't she? Particularly with how she says "Mischief Makers!". I'm listening to a clip compilation on YouTube right now and I can almost swear I've heard that voice in some old anime.

I remember looking at the box at blockbuster and then thinking "naaah" did I miss out on something special here bros?

>>7174135
That song makes me happy and depressed at the same time. God I fucking hate Square Enix.

>>7174926
You missed out on probably the only great 2d platformer on the system, really.

it is a pretty fun voice but i prefer her japanese one, more fitting for a 2 feet tall robot maid

>>7174926
I remember looking at that box and thinking the same at my rental place, I wouldn't even want to rent it because it legit looks like trash.
Then my cousin got the game supercheap after the GameCube had been released and we discovered how great it was.

>>7174967
Yoshi's Story is the best 2D platformer ever made and I don't give a fuck if you disagree.

>>7174926
Thank fucking God I had already seen a review for the Japanese version on a magazine praising it to high end so I already knew it was good

>>7174926

what was everyone's favorite rental? mine was SONIC WINGS ASSAULT

Was it ever confirmed Square Enix actually owns this? Or is it like Sega with Gunstar Heroes? As in, co-owned by both Treasure and the publisher?

>>7177747
I don't think anybody can be sure. Theoretically Square-Enix owns it, but it's been so long that Treasure or even Nintendo could have gotten it back and nobody would know either.

>>7177747
heard treasure got into legal trouble for putting marina in that ps1 dodgeball game they did.

>>7177021

does kirby crystal shards count as 2D? i like that one better

There must be a way to find /our girl/

>>7177818
It never belonged to Nintendo, it just happened to release on N64.

Marina has graced the PlayStation.

>>7177860
It wasn't a dodgeball game.

>>7178447
I know it wasn't a Nintendo IP, but it's a possibility. Nintendo doesn't own the IP but they were the publishers outside of Japan, or at least in USA but I think in Europe too.
And yeah I know about Rakugaki.

>>7178447
One of the most shocking and unexpected moments in retro gaming was when Marina Liteyears came to a Sony platform.

>>7178871
And then the game got recalled since apparently Enix and Treasure fought over the right to Mischief Makers. And considering Rakugaki Showtime's PSN listing has both Treasure and Square Enix as the copyright holders, it's probably both who own them.
...which is probably why Marina is fucking dead.

>>7178447
>It wasn't a dodgeball game.
Don't you chase after a ball and use it to attack your opponents?

>>7178797
They also published Terranigma outside Europe and the Game Boy Advance port of FFIV. And before that took on publishing duties of Dragon Warrior games for Enix.

It's not a special case.

>>7179318
By that logic, Smash Bros and Streets of Rage are dodgeball games.

Sugoi Hebereke > Rakugaki Showtime

Sunsoft wins again, baybee.

>>7179493
>*Terranigma outside Japan

>>7179493
Nintendo can be controlling of games they publish. Mega Man 6 didn't make it to the Wii VC probably for that reason.

>>7179874
Mega Man 6 was on several collections that hit the PlayStation. The fuck are you smoking?

>>7174648
the japanese voice actress sounds completly different from english. the enlgish voice is way deeper. faggot.

>>7179493
I never said it's a special case, just that I'm speculating because we know nothing about the actual state of the IP, most likely it still belongs to S-E, but nobody knows for sure.

>>7179907
>just that I'm speculating because we know nothing about the actual state of the IP, most likely it still belongs to S-E, but nobody knows for sure.

It released on Japanese PSN back in 2008. Whatever problems may have existed likely predated that.

>>7179914
I mean Mischief Makers.

>>7179881
>Collection
>Probably by Capcom themselves, dev doesn't count

Can anyone identify her voice? Maybe from some anime dub in the 90s?

TORABU TORABU MEEKA

>>7174926
Yea its fucking awesome

>>7179893
You realize you're calling me a faggot for something I already walked back like two days ago? >>7174868

>>7180246
The more I listen to clips of her voice, the more I'm convinced that she is someone who worked in the pre-boom days of American dubbed anime. I've been watching the Trigun dub lately (circa 2000), and she reminds me a lot of Lia Sargent, who played Milly in that series, though its not a perfect match any stretch. And one of the beast guys in MM sounds like Johnny Yong Bosch to my ears, so yeah... the characters probably were voiced by uncredited, non-union VAs who also worked or later would work in anime.

I WANT HER TO SHAKE ME

I have some really bad news. It was Adam Blaustein, He 50%ed himself in 2008 upon realizing how obvious it was that his voice was of a man.

>>7180943
Her voice sounds so obviously female, a tranny could never sound like that even by using voice modification software.

Masami Suzuki will always be Marina to me.

>>7181394
She's great, and sang the song and all.... but I do have a thing for the english Marina too, I genuinely think she sounds cute af in her own way.

I've been revisiting games from around the same era that had voice acting to see if any girl sounded similar, but no luck so far.

Why does Professor Theo make this face when his robot daughter transforms into an adolescent human?

>>7181075
SHAKE SHAKE

I'm getting my ass beaten by the first boss. Fun game though, was easy thus far even though I made a ton of mistakes. BTW I got a japanese copy almost new for dirt cheap, only the box is kinda beaten.

>>7183671
easy boss senpai

>>7183671
Why Nintendildos are so bad at videogames, kek.

>>7183726
>>7183807
It took like 4 tries. I'll admit I'm not the best player in the world, but I always get around

With how amatuerish everyone else is, I doubt this game has a single "professional" voice actor.
Probably some girl around the office, or even someone off the street.

>>7183671
>>7183864
The bosses are the best part of the game.
Migen is tough for first timers because you're not good at parrying strikes, it's the first time you're introduced to it too. Future bosses will make sure you get good, parrying at the sound of beep beep will be like second nature.

>>7183807
Ah, I thought it was weird you weren't posting ITT yet, hi auster.
Here, have some beastector you homo.

>>7183884
Would be surprised if the Marina VA was a random person. Maybe she is, but she did a great job then.

>>7183884
Lunar sounds awful and yet people are fond of the Shining reference.
Anyway, does anyone know if the dumb 4th. wall breaks are also on the JP version?
Someone documented how SMRPG had JP celebrity references but Mischief Makers is so obscure no one gives a shit about weird trivia like that.

I saw someone say that there's the possibility that it's some random Treehouse member, so I guess there's that. Wouldn't be surprised

>>7184287
Did the treehouse exist back then? (not a zoomer, I'm just not a yank so I don't know much about 90s NoA).
It's not out of the possibilities I guess, Nintendo was the publisher of the game in USA, so it's likely that they handled the localization too.

>>7184301
Founded in the mid 90's to address the piss poor localizations of many 8 and 16 bit games. Enix had no plans to release Mischief Makers outside of Japan until Nintendo stepped up as a publisher/localizer.

>>7184301
Apparently it was made in the mid 90s.

>>7184310
Ah oops, answered too late

>>7184301
Unless if the mystery VA came to them, how would any of Nintendo's international departments (USA, Europe) construct relations with them?

>>7184310
Yeah, the DKC VHS tape mentions the Treehouse while they look into the game.
>>7184309
Wait, really? Jesus imagine if it never arrived overseas, people would just think of it as one of the many quirky 90's JP only games.

>>7184351
Forgot to add Treehouse is based in Canada

>>7184351
We'll never know. Why bother

>>7184351
what do you mean?

>>7184356
No they aren't. They're based out of Redmond, WA like the rest of Nintendo of America.

>>7184505
Fucking CA propaganda

>>7184301
Is this picture real? lol

>>7174926
My cousin who only had sports games and was only ever interested in sports and BMX and skateboarding stuff had this game. Weird stuff.

>>7174096
>>7174868
>>7180246
>>7184287
This guy helped localize Mischief Makers, and he may be the only English speaking link we have to the game:

https://www.mobygames.com/developer/christian-phillips/credits/developerId,59385/

Figure out how to get in touch with him and you just might some answers regarding the voice cast.

>>7185431
yes, it's official ads

full armor marina is best marina

>>7174926
It wasn’t the best game, but it was all right. It kind of grew on me, desu. Didn’t care for it at first (I always try to play a game for a few hours before giving up), then before I knew it, I was starting to enjoy it.
