The King of Fighters: Kyo English translation
ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ 京
An early public alpha that puts SNK's Japan-only King of Fighters adventure into English, with the story, choices and battle menus translated and built-in English captions for some voiced lines.
What's translated
Retro Replay's alpha covers a draft English pass over the story scripts the team has identified so far, together with the dialogue choices, battle commands, text in fights and the roster names. The original Japanese voices stay, but version 0.2 adds English captions built into the game itself for a selection of battle callouts and for lines that were only spoken, so no external subtitle script is needed.
What's still missing
This is a playtest, not a finished translation. Not every story route has been played to check that the dialogue reads well in context, some artwork still shows Japanese, and caption coverage is limited to a few hundred lines. The team asks for reports with the scene and the choices that led there.
Playing it
The patch goes on the first track of your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on the announcement page. Start the patched game from a fresh boot rather than an emulator save state made with the Japanese game or an older version.
