Super Robot Taisen English translation
Super Robot Wars · スーパーロボット大戦
Aeon Genesis's complete English translation of the very first Super Robot Wars, the 1991 Game Boy game that launched Banpresto's crossover mecha series.
What it is
The first Super Robot Wars is a compact turn-based strategy game: the robots themselves are the characters, they take turns on small grid maps, and instead of only fighting you can try to persuade enemy units to switch sides. The story is simple, with the space monster Girgilgun bending most of the Super Robots to its will and a handful of holdouts fighting back.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis translated all of the game's text, including every attack and robot name, fitting them at full length into the Game Boy's small screen wherever space allowed. The project builds on an earlier partial patch by strag0, continued with his blessing. Version 1.00 came out on 20 May 2007.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Game Boy game, following the instructions that come with it. Aeon Genesis keeps the patch, its readme and screenshots on its project page.
