Japanese

Rockman 2 Dr. Wilyの謎

English

Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily

This could also be read as "Dr. Wily's Mystery".

Intro

Japanese

２００Ｘ年―　Ｄｒ．ライトの生み出した　スーパーロボット　ロックマン　によって　ナゾの天才科学者Ｄｒ．ワイリーの野望は阻止され　世界に平和が　よみがえった。

English

In the year 200X, thanks to Dr. Light's super robot Rockman, the mysterious genius scientist Dr. Wily's ambitions were thwarted and peace was restored to the world.

Japanese

しかし、世界征服をたくらむ　Ｄｒ．ワイリーは、再び　ロックマンに戦いを挑むべく、新たに造り出した　８体のロボットを　送り出したのである・・・。

English

But Dr. Wily, who is plotting world domination, sent out eight robots who are challenging Rockman to a battle once again.

The comma after 挑む is not necessary here, but was probably written to indicate that the sentence had not ended (since there is a pause at that point in the original game).

Bonus content - Can't Beat Air Man

Just because the wiki's about games doesn't mean we can't have fun with the concept. Here's a translation of the song "Air Man ga Taosenai", also called "Can't Beat Air Man".

Japanese

気がついたら　同じ面ばかりばかりプレイ　

English

When I notice I've been playing nothing but [this] screen

Japanese

そしていつも同じ場所で死ぬ

English

And I always die in the same place

Japanese

あきらめずに消える足場に挑戦するけど

English

Without giving up, I challenge the disappearing steps

足場 literally refers to a place for your feet. In this case it's referring to the game's infamous disappearing blocks.

Japanese

すぐに下に落ちるよ

English

I fall right down

Japanese

アイテム２号があればらくに
