Dai-3-ji Super Robot Taisen English translation
Super Robot Wars 3 · 第3次スーパーロボット大戦
Aeon Genesis's complete English translation of Super Robot Wars 3, reworked in 2019 with corrected names, a smaller font and roomier menus.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis first put out an English patch for the third Super Robot Wars back in 2002. In 2019 the group went back and redid it: the story text, the unit and pilot names, the weapon lists, the spirit commands and the intermission menus are all in English, and many names that the old version got wrong now match the anime they come from.
What's new in 2.0
- A narrower font, so far less text has to be cut short.
- Wider menus and cleaner chapter title screens.
- Much of the code comes from the group's Super Robot Wars EX patch, since both games share an engine, so the two translations look alike.
Playing it
The patch is for the Japanese Super Famicom release. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions that come with it. Expect a stiff challenge: this entry predates many of the series' later comforts, such as carrying upgrades over between units.
