Translation Sega Saturn

Willy Wombat English translation

ウィリー・ウォンバット

Exxistance's patch finishes the job on Hudson's Japan-only Saturn platformer: the voices were already English, and now the menus, loading screens and cutscene subtitles are too.

What's translated

The first release, in December 2025, redrew the menus that stood in the way: the backup RAM choice at the title screen, the options and key configuration, the save and load screens and the loading screens between areas. Version 2.0 completes the translation with English subtitles in every cutscene and all eleven screensavers, and tidies some punctuation and centering issues from the original game.

Extras

The Drama Test menu, which lets you rewatch most cutscenes and used to require a special Hudson controller, can now be opened from any map screen with a button combination.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese disc following the instructions on Exxistance's GitHub page. It comes in two formats, one for the Sega Saturn Patcher and one as an xdelta patch.
