Dix-sept ans après sa sortie sur GameCube, Super Robot Taisen GC est traduit en anglais et renommé pour l’occasion Super Robot Wars GC. Le 2 juin 2021, Super Robot Wars GC Team a réalisé un patch de localisation pour traduire dialogues, menus et textures. Seuls les crédits de fin n’ont pas été traduits.

L’équipe de traduction précise que le projet de localisation a commencé en 2013. Pour rappel, Super Robot Taisen GC est sorti sur GameCube en 2004 au Japon. Une adaptation sur Xbox 360 est sortie en 2006 sous le titre de Super Robot Taisen XO. L’épisode se caractérise également par ses animations modélisées en 3D plutôt qu’en 2D.
Présentation sur Romhacking.net
Game Description:
Super Robot Taisen GC is a turn-based strategy game released in Japan for the Nintendo GameCube, and later re-released for the Xbox 360 as Super Robot Taisen XO with some changes to content and presentation. The characters, units, and setting of this game were later adapted for use in the “Original Generation” subseries in Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers.
This particular game is one which departs from the 2D animation that the series traditionally uses, instead having its battle scenes rendered in 3D. It also introduces mechanics which are not present in many other main entries such as the parts targeting system, as well as providing the player with the ability to capture enemy units to be used in battle.
For as much as it does different, it does retain the same base gameplay as others in the series, letting players experience a story with a cast from many popular mecha series:
- Dancouga – Super Beast Machine God
- Galaxy Cyclone Braiger, Galactic Gale Baxingar, and Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraigar
- Invincible Robot Trider G7
- Strongest Robo Daiohja
- Heavy Metal L-Gaim
- Metal Armor Dragonar
- UC Gundam series, including MS Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ, Char’s Counterattack, The 08th MS Team, and 0080: War in the Pocket
- Blue Comet SPT Layzner
- Matchless Raijin-Oh
- Mazinkaiser
- Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo
- Future Robo Daltanius
- The usual Banpresto original characters and robots!
Translation Description:
This is a complete English translation of Super Robot Wars GC for the Nintendo GameCube, which has been in production on and off since 2013. The team hopes that you’ll enjoy this title in English, as well as the somewhat unique mechanics it brings to the SRW table!
Excluding the end credits, this patch translates all the text and graphics in the game, including the library entries for each unit and character. This patch should also remain compatible with Japanese saves, though due to emulation quirks Dolphin users should consult the settings in the readme in order to ensure the game renders correctly.
