All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling: Queen of Queens, one of the more obscure PC-FX curios, just got a proper English translation patch, dragging a very mid‑90s slice of joshi VHS energy into the broader game preservation scene at last.
Originally released in 1995, Queen of Queens is an FMV-heavy take on pro wrestling built around the All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling roster. Instead of a timing-based grappling engine, you punch in simple button combos and then watch short live-action clips decide whether your move lands, complete with stamina and health bars.
The new patch, credited to 72PaulDaniel, is available through ROMhack.ing as an English fan translation, with system menus, league and versus modes, and Disc B’s Scenario mode, where your chosen wrestler has to fend off an invading KWP promotion, all translated. The ROMhack.ing entry notes that most core UI is now in English, with some peripheral options still in Japanese and supported through updated documentation.
Given that the PC-FX library is a crowded graveyard of untranslated visual novels and oddities, seeing a fully playable sports title pop up in English is rare. Folks who’ve only known AJW through grainy YouTube uploads now have a dedicated, officially licensed, mid‑90s time capsule they can actually read, even if the “gameplay” is mostly FMV coin flips.
The translation is available now at the project’s Romhack.ing page. If you’ve got a way to run PC-FX images and a soft spot for stiff lariats and neon ring gear, this one is for you!
