Zatch Bell! Dream Tag Tournament English translation
Konjiki no Gashbell!! Yuujou no Dengeki Dream Tag Tournament · 金色のガッシュベル!! 友情の電撃 ドリームタッグトーナメント
SuperrSonic's complete English translation of the Japan-only Zatch Bell tag fighter for GBA, using the official English names, with an optional English dub and gameplay tweaks.
What's translated
SuperrSonic translated the whole game, using the names from the official English localization of the series and leaving the content uncensored except where that localization had already changed it. XZatchBellGamerX contributed extra translations and story details. A few graphics stay as they were, such as one stage banner and screens that already mixed English into the Japanese art. A new variable-width font is used for the text.
Versions
The patches come in two flavours: English text with the original Japanese voices, or a larger build with an English dub assembled from clips of other Zatch Bell games, the anime and other sources plus some new fan voice work (Allison Davis and Cami Rubio), with two music tracks streamed. A Spanish version of each is also included, made to show off the multi-language script tool.
Other changes
The Faudo Trial minigame needs less button mashing, Zatch's Zagurzem lasts longer, battle intro voices only play for the second player, and an event-only item can be unlocked through the sound test. Version 1.3 adds a higher-quality sound mixer that removes occasional crackling.
Playing it
Apply one of the patches from the project's releases page to your own clean Japanese copy of the game, as explained in the readme. The dub version needs SRAM patching to save on a 3DS.
