After 1 Year An English Translation Patch Released for ‘Capcom vs. SNK 2’ on Sega Dreamcast Is Here!
A complete translation available for the first time!
A comprehensive English translation patch for Capcom vs. SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001 on the Sega Dreamcast has been released, offering English-speaking players an enhanced and fully localised gaming experience, as reported on RetroRGB.
Capcom vs. SNK 2, originally launched in 2001, is a renowned 2D fighting game that brings together characters from Capcom and SNK franchises. While the PlayStation 2 version received an official English localisation, the Dreamcast version remained exclusive to Japan, leaving non-Japanese speakers without a translated version.
This new patch, developed over a year by Derek Pascarella, addresses this gap by providing a polished English translation. Key features of the patch include:
• Complete Translation of Post-Win Quotes: The patch translates approximately 5,100 post-match dialogues, which were previously omitted or condensed in official localizations. These dialogues offer character-specific interactions, enhancing the depth and authenticity of the game.
• Refined Game Texts: Beyond dialogues, all in-game texts, including special move command lists and end-game cutscenes, have been meticulously translated and, in some cases, retranslated to improve accuracy and clarity.
• Bonus Content Integration: The obsolete “Network Mode” has been replaced with a “Bonus Mode,” featuring a 100% unlocked save file, an English-subtitled Japanese TV commercial, and translated interviews from the 2001 “Another Play Guide,” providing insights from the game’s original development team.
The development team aimed to create the definitive home version of Capcom vs. SNK 2 for the Dreamcast. Given the console’s near arcade-perfect port and the addition of previously untranslated content, this patch is poised to become the preferred choice for fans.
