Assault Suit Leynos English Re-Translation
重装機兵レイノス · Jūsō Kihei Leynos · Target Earth
A new English translation of the Japanese Assault Suit Leynos that restores the story scenes the Western Target Earth release cut, with a variable-width font and new mission intro screens.
What's translated
This is a fresh translation made from the Japanese Mega Drive release. The Target Earth localization trimmed the story heavily, dropping a budding romance between two characters and several deaths, including a full cutscene at the end of Episode 3. All of that is back, and the script follows the Japanese more closely.
What's new
The ROM was doubled in size to make room for:
- a variable-width font, so radio messages read naturally and fit more text,
- a unique introduction screen for every mission.
A second, plainer patch gives the translation alone, without the new font or stage backgrounds.
