This is something you rarely see and I don't even understand why Sega decided to fully translate a 17 year old Genesis action RPG in to English in this day and age?
I bought it last night and extracted the ROM from a NAND dump of my Wii and it turns out the actual ROM has been changed into English!
Now this may seem like a no brainer, but it's actually uncommon for VC games to do this. Usually when VC games make changes to the original ROM they make the changes into a sort of patch that the VC emulator uses to actively filter over as the untouched ROM is running. Such was the case with, Sin and Punishment, Revenge of Shinobi, ect. The fact that this new translation can run independently from the Wii's VC emulator means it can potentially run on the actual hardware as well. Which is a nice thought, though I’ll never be able to take advantage of that option since I don’t own a flash cart of any kind.
I haven’t played enough of the VC version to comment on the translation compared to DeJap's and Demiforce's unofficial translation patch.
Everyone should go out and buy this right now! Odd decisions like this need to be supported and it's a fantastic game none the less.
