Assault Suits Valken English translation
Cybernator · 重装機兵ヴァルケン
Aeon Genesis's translation of the original Japanese Assault Suits Valken, putting back the story, dialogue portraits and scenes that were cut when the game became Cybernator in the West.
What it is
Valken puts you in the cockpit of a giant combat robot, stomping, dashing and shooting through varied missions in a war that runs from orbital colonies down to the planet. It came to the West as Cybernator, but that release dropped a large part of the dialogue, removed character portraits and characters, and cut a scene from the final stage.
What's translated
This patch translates the Japanese original instead, so the full story and the in-mission radio chatter come through with portraits intact. Version 1.00 was released on 7 March 2004. The one thing not working is name entry: the hero keeps the default name Jake.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom game, following the instructions that come with it. Aeon Genesis keeps the patch, its readme and screenshots on its project page.
