Translation Sega Saturn

Dead or Alive English translation

デッド オア アライブ

An English patch that translates the last Japanese text in the Saturn Dead or Alive, from the character profiles to the training-mode move lists, using the wording of the later official Xbox release.

What's translated

The Saturn version was already mostly in English, so this patch from Exxistance covers what was left:

  • The character bios on the selection screen
  • Every move list in Training mode
  • The name entry instructions
  • The save warnings

The text follows the official English of the 2004 Xbox remake, Dead or Alive Ultimate, with a couple of move names corrected where that release got them wrong. Exxistance also redid the texture art, and wonder-inc helped with playtesting.

Version 1.0.1

Fixes the English character profiles not appearing when the second controller starts the mode.
