Ragnagard English translation
神凰拳 · Shinouken
Exxistance brings the Neo Geo's English localization to the Japan-only Saturn port of Ragnagard, with redrawn English graphics, cleaned-up text and the original 90s attitude intact.
What's translated
The patch carries the English text of the Neo Geo release over to the Saturn version, which has more pre-rendered art and character portraits than the arcade original. Exxistance fixed spelling, grammar and a great many text overruns along the way, but kept the cheesy win quotes and endings as they were. Now in English:
- The title graphics and the sprites for character names
- Round callouts such as Round 1, Fight!!, Time Up and Draw
- Win quotes and character endings
- The configuration menu and the save warnings
Good to know
The creator's page lists some tips, including how to play as the three bosses in Arcade mode and how to view each fighter's move list from the pause screen.
