Dragon Ball Z: Goku Gekitōden English translation
ドラゴンボールZ 悟空激闘伝 · Dragon Ball Z: Gokuu Gekitouden
Tsathiago's English patch for Bandai's second Goku RPG on the Game Boy translates the story scenes, menus and battles, with a new mixed-case font.
What's translated
According to the release notes, the patch covers all nineteen story scenes, more than a thousand dialogue boxes, along with the menus, file select, map destinations, password screen, status screen, battle messages and results, the intro narration, the training screen and the subtitle on the title screen. A new font adds lowercase letters and punctuation. The patch is flagged as a machine translation made with AI assistance, so some lines may read stiffly.
Updates
The September 2026 update brought a large round of bug fixes, including a crash in the fight against Zarbon. The patched game grows to 1 MB, which is expected, and existing saves keep working.
Playing it
The IPS patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge release; follow the instructions on the romhacking.net page, where bug reports are welcome too.
