Sega Ages: Power Drift · パワードリフト

Exxistance swaps the handful of Japanese on-screen messages in the Saturn Sega Ages port of Power Drift for the English sprites from the worldwide arcade release.

What's changed

Only seven sprites in the Japanese Saturn release were in Japanese, such as the flashing messages telling you what place you need to finish in to continue. Exxistance found the matching English graphics in the worldwide arcade version and put them into the Saturn game, so the whole port now reads in English. The creator jokes that calling it a translation is a stretch, since the English text is Sega's own.

Version 1.0.1

A day after the first release, version 1.0.1 fixed a black screen that appeared when starting a race on real Saturn hardware.
