Sony had a staunch "no Japanese voices/kanji/hira/kata without at least an English/Roman letter replacement option" rule for about a decade that only big projects got around. I think Koei was the first company to get them to frick off on that with smaller scale licensed games.
Capcom was also full of shit, though. Their PR guys lied constantly back then.
Is this actually a reason they gave? Total bullshit, they just didn't want to translate it and gave the easiest excuse they could think of. They could have just replaced the sound effects with "whams!" or "pows!" and any other equivalent.
Frick this game! Mega Man Legends 3 died for this shitty Lost Planet spinoff.
A lot of people back in the day assumed Legends 3 got greenlit and then cancelled, in which case it would have absolutely been shelved for Gaist Crusher and EX Troopers (the two Capcom published 3DS games that reused its assets). It took a while for it to come out that Legends 3 was never given the okay at all and some people never got the memo.
EXT reusing Legends assets is made up bullshit. Game was in production way before L3 was announced and the supposed screen showing whatever they shared was fake.
MML3 never got greenlit, that's why it got cancelled to begin with.
Inafune was the sole reason that and other projects existed, and him leaving (or maybe getting pushed out due to multiple frick ups?) was a way for him to generate interest for his own projects.
>megatards seriously believe they axed a dying sequel for a low budget game for a dying series >Both dying no thanks to Inahomosexual's attempt to push for the west
ExTroopers was the life support attempt to keep it going via japs and capcom weebs but nu-Capcom was stil just as moronic as Inafune prior, especially that wine drinking jap.
do you have literally any evidence to back up these claims aside from going "durr no it not, no it not!! MegaMan bad!!"
Crazy to think of how long ago it actually was now.
Still haven't forgiven Capcom either.

11 years and i still feel the pain of its cancellation and their mocking us because we cared about it. and they thought shitty fan game mega man vs street fighter would be a good idea for mega man 25th anniversary.
It was specifically because a lot of the text is hardcoded, more or less, so that's part of it but not all of it. >overcoming multiple technical limitations of the game's engine, [...] replacing hundreds of speech bubbles in pre-rendered videos,
The pre-rendered videos in particular would be a massive amount of work that likely exceeds the budget they would get for a niche localization.
Is what's the difference between the difference between the PS3 and 3DS versions? Is one better than the other?
It's a 3DS game first, so it's just a platform preference. If you're playing on hardware, PS3 obviously has better resolution and better online, but 3DS still looks and runs great. Dunno if Citra and RPCS3 could play it online, but the coop is nice for grinding and the PvP is goofy fun.
The text was never hardcoded, it was just the manga video files that it would have been a problem for.
That shit about it being hard-coded was a fricking lie by someone in their PR, anyone who even looked at the game for a few minutes could have told you it was just a regular ass text parser for the majority of the dialogue in the game.
The fantranslators actually explain what they did and I'm pretty sure it's the reason Capcom didn't want to do it: replace all speech bubbles on all movie files frame by frame
What???
No it didn't you obese fricking moron
it salvaged what was left of Megaman Legends 3 when it got fricking canned.
How did you not correlate this?
>No it didn't >except it did
Thank you for agreeing with me, you fricking dumbass. If youre that butthole French jackass that was making fun of Megaman fans, you can go jump off a cliff

>A lot of people back in the day assumed Legends 3 got greenlit and then cancelled
Because it was, until Inafune got fired and Crapcom decided to cancel all Megaman related projects. 3 fricking Megaman games canceled in a month after Con-man left. FRICKING THREE!

Inafune was embezzling. It's why he was so big on outsourcing.

What the frick assets would they use from the barely-started Mega Man Universe, a game criticized for its ugly ass graphics, and Mega Man Online, an outsourced fricking MMO?
Even then, EX Troopers mostly uses retextured Lost Planet 1 assets. You've created a ridiculous scenario in your head (Legends 3 was cancelled and rebuilt as EX Troopers) to justify your hate boner.
MML3 never got greenlit, that's why it got cancelled to begin with.
Inafune was the sole reason that and other projects existed, and him leaving (or maybe getting pushed out due to multiple frick ups?) was a way for him to generate interest for his own projects.
And it was for the best, we almost had uglier Mega Man Maker, some Michael Bay westoid version of Mega Man X, and some MMO no one would care about.
Now if only we stopped pic related from ever happening.
Seeing all the ugly gachashit designs, i wished they pulled an FFXIV and salvaged Xover to that.
Makes better sense than fricking Blue Zero and Sigma having kids.
This needs more attention. I played the broken google translate version for a few hours just to understand what was going on, and it was great
Time to dust off my 3DS
Yeah and it takes years for a tl to come out too. Some people have been waiting actual decades for some niche games to be translated. St this point might as well slowly learn the language as a hobby, you're rewarded for doing it
>Break my ass for ten years clawing my way into a decent living. >"uhm, actually, you could have done more!"
How long have you been stalking me, exactly?
idk man I learned Japanese, got two master's degrees and work at a space agency now. You can juggle more than one thing. Hell, I even worked a job during my uni days.
It definitely salvaged assets from mml3, but I don't think it was truly out of any sort of malice/laziness, it felt more like the devs working with what they had after a large head (con-man) of the company dropped out.
but make no mistake- this was definitely a project made with passion looking at the art and effort put into it. It was always a shame it was so swept under the rug.
This game had some great girls and a fantastic soundtrack. Shame the gameplay is kind of ass.
At least the fantranslation's quality looks alright from the trailer, none of your typical ESLisms here.
I tried playing the 3DS one before but it felt so bad to play a TPS on it.
I’m surprised they actually MTLed PS3, I thought that shit was never ever because of the extra effort the PS3 took compared to 3DS files...
Never played it myself but I know there's some activity, mostly from Japanese players, around events such as anniversaries etc. Dunno if they play regularly.
oh frick its about time. I played this game on release ages ago when I was in the navy. Despite not knowing a lick of nip I beat the game in 2 sittings, its a really easy game. In fact its pretty much a jap movie game.
>in the opening the protagonist is struck in the face by a comic book and after that all cutscenes is in a comic book format >in the finale the protagonist decides to defy fate and literally breaks out of the comic book to save the girl
amazing
It seems the patcher really wants you to rip it through multiman on a cracked PS3. I found a pkg file and installed it through RPCS3 but the patcher doesn't recognize the directory where it is installed. It's unfortunate because it has the potential to run very well on RPCS3 according to some youtube vids
Can someone tell me where I can download the 3DS version of the game? Hshop only has an old pre-patched version of the game with the old TL and idk if that's compatible with this new patch.
PS3 patch file is 11GB
PS3 game image is 13GB
Not worth it at all, someone who has the English PS3 game patched and playable should upload a new game image.
Or you can get by with the low fidelity 3DS version
>megatards seriously believe they axed a dying sequel for a low budget game for a dying series >Both dying no thanks to Inahomosexual's attempt to push for the west
ExTroopers was the life support attempt to keep it going via japs and capcom weebs but nu-Capcom was stil just as moronic as Inafune prior, especially that wine drinking jap.
I patched all the ps3 files but there are no guides for RPCS3 and they wont help with that on the discord.
anyone know what to do with all the files? I replaced them on the USRDIR folder but the game is still in japanese
I remember playing it on my 3DS a long time ago, it was fun, the character designs were neat but it was really nothing more than a portable Lost Planet that for some reason got a port on the PS3
>capcom said it couldn't be done due to the hit effects having japanese characters
why did that matter the game was already anime
Sony had a staunch "no Japanese voices/kanji/hira/kata without at least an English/Roman letter replacement option" rule for about a decade that only big projects got around. I think Koei was the first company to get them to frick off on that with smaller scale licensed games.

Is this actually a reason they gave? Total bullshit, they just didn't want to translate it and gave the easiest excuse they could think of. They could have just replaced the sound effects with "whams!" or "pows!" and any other equivalent.
Given the fan translation doesn't, they probably couldn't without spending more time/money than the game was worth.
EX Troopers is sick, but it was made on the cheap with a ton of recycled assets. Some of the stuff from Legends 3 even ended up in there.
EXT reusing Legends assets is made up bullshit. Game was in production way before L3 was announced and the supposed screen showing whatever they shared was fake.
do you have literally any evidence to back up these claims aside from going "durr no it not, no it not!! MegaMan bad!!"
>ask for evidence
>doesn't use google
>rather wallow in his own bullshit and chug inafune's sushi wiener
This is why we ignore megahomosexuals
Bullshit, its literally using the Megaman Legends engine and literally has remodeled characters from MML3 concepts
i had more but most of them were lost to time.
Crazy to think of how long ago it actually was now.
Still haven't forgiven Capcom either.

It isn't massive, but the PS3 version does just inherently run and look better regardless of emulation and upscaling.
The text was never hardcoded, it was just the manga video files that it would have been a problem for.
That shit about it being hard-coded was a fricking lie by someone in their PR, anyone who even looked at the game for a few minutes could have told you it was just a regular ass text parser for the majority of the dialogue in the game.

Capcom is called Crapcom for a reason, well many reasons
Inafune
I will never understand the cult that man has. He is the George Lucas of Megaman.
Interesting, thanks for the heads up.
poor man's pso2 cclone, idk if it's lame or cool
no its literally a lost planet clone, plays just like it only its much easier.
>lost planet clone
Well it IS a lost planet game
Really enjoyed playing it on the 3ds
It looked pretty good with the 3d gimmick
Is what's the difference between the difference between the PS3 and 3DS versions? Is one better than the other?
IIRC 3DS is 60 frames / local only and PS3 is 30 with online multiplayer
Both are 30fps. If you have a PS3, there's no reason to try the 3DS version, unless you really want to see manga cutscenes in 3D or AR shit
3DS runs at 60 due to 3D support, it was the only reason to play it over the PS3 version.
This just leads me to a torrent file that doesn't register in my client. kek. Well played.
Share an ISO link FFS I kept looking everywhere and all links are dead.
Frick this game! Mega Man Legends 3 died for this shitty Lost Planet spinoff.

>Gaist Crusher
Hadn't heard of this, is it good?
It's Treasure Ltd. kusoge, don't play it.
I'm not convinced.
>Treasure
Well you convinced me to try it out since all they make is pure fricking ludo
It was Capcom's attempt at toys to life, it got an expansion/sequel but I don't think it's anything worth playing.
Legends 3 died because Inafune left and lost the Capcom Test (via the Capcom Room)
> best 3ds game
> still no western port
Good
This needs more attention. I played the broken google translate version for a few hours just to understand what was going on, and it was great
Time to dust off my 3DS
>2023
>still waiting for fantranslations instead of simply learning japanese
Could've learned 3 times over by the time the game you wanted is out
Learning japanese to the point you are good enough for games with complex dialog takes years, this one is probably not one of them but still.
Yeah and it takes years for a tl to come out too. Some people have been waiting actual decades for some niche games to be translated. St this point might as well slowly learn the language as a hobby, you're rewarded for doing it
I spent that time learning how to code and got a job instead.
You could've done both, language learning never takes your full time
>Break my ass for ten years clawing my way into a decent living.
>"uhm, actually, you could have done more!"
How long have you been stalking me, exactly?
I'm glad you achieved success but everyone can always do more. Never stop moving
you could have spat but you swallowed instead you little cumbawd
idk man I learned Japanese, got two master's degrees and work at a space agency now. You can juggle more than one thing. Hell, I even worked a job during my uni days.
and then everyone started clapping
I recommend the “end of conversation” album based on this game.
It’s pretty fricking relaxing.
H-Haruko-chan?
Cool, this is the only japanese game I bought when I was visiting years ago, its still sealed. Do you need custom firmware on your ps3 to patch it?
so what's the best ps3 emulator?
there's literally only one
sure hope it works
would really prefer not to have to pull out the ps3 again
is it true that MMl3 got turned into this or is that just a fan rumor
It definitely salvaged assets from mml3, but I don't think it was truly out of any sort of malice/laziness, it felt more like the devs working with what they had after a large head (con-man) of the company dropped out.
but make no mistake- this was definitely a project made with passion looking at the art and effort put into it. It was always a shame it was so swept under the rug.
>Don't have a PS3
3DS it is then
So where can I find an iso ?
Man, I got the patched version like two days ago. Now I wonder if I should bother to switch to this.
you're playing an MTL compared to an actual translation so whether how much you care the dialogue being actually correct
I mean I don't know shit about the series. Just heard the game is fun. Is it distractingly bad?
LP1,2 and EXT are all good games while 3 is an outsourced abortion.
EXT was a budget game catered to children/teenagers so it's simplier but still enjoyable.
it's not bad. it's just when you realize what mega man legends 3 would've played if they didn't cancel it.
This game had some great girls and a fantastic soundtrack. Shame the gameplay is kind of ass.
At least the fantranslation's quality looks alright from the trailer, none of your typical ESLisms here.
I tried playing the 3DS one before but it felt so bad to play a TPS on it.
I’m surprised they actually MTLed PS3, I thought that shit was never ever because of the extra effort the PS3 took compared to 3DS files...
THANK YOU ANON YOU MADE MY DAY
That ending cutscene is so good.
I always knew one of these days it would get translated. One way or the other.
I wish I had someone to play this online with. Is there a way to use this with a PS3 disc or 3DS cart, or do I have to dump the game for both?
Never played it myself but I know there's some activity, mostly from Japanese players, around events such as anniversaries etc. Dunno if they play regularly.
aaaaaa can somebody find a working ISO link already!?
https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/sony/#sony-playstation-3
you beauty
So, how do you install this on 3DS? Install on top of the JP cia?
Can confirm that this is exactly what you do, install the clean JP cia, then install the patch cia
Thanks for confirming.
oh frick its about time. I played this game on release ages ago when I was in the navy. Despite not knowing a lick of nip I beat the game in 2 sittings, its a really easy game. In fact its pretty much a jap movie game.
anyone know where I can get a QR download for the vanilla game? Hshop only has the old shitty fan patch on there.
>hot blooded manga style action game
There should be many more games like this, it's so fun
>in the opening the protagonist is struck in the face by a comic book and after that all cutscenes is in a comic book format
>in the finale the protagonist decides to defy fate and literally breaks out of the comic book to save the girl
amazing
>the blue haired girl is the defacto love interest
weird, I thought it would be the red haired girl with pigtails
Red liked the emo sniper. Which is not a bad thing because Tiki was best girl anyway.
they got a naruto dynamic going, red hair likes edgy boy sasuke stand-in while mc goes with meek blue hair girl
Go forth and kill
>It's been 10 years.
I been tellin' you gays about the waifu game, now it's time to do it.
Go get you one.
I love this game but what’s this? It already had a fan translation for the 3DS a while back?
Patch for the PS3 version.
The old 3DS fan translation was garbage done by an ESL working with google translate, while this new one seems more well made.
Good to know it has gotten a proper translation. This game definitely deserves it.
I wish this got a port to modern consoles and switch
It seems the patcher really wants you to rip it through multiman on a cracked PS3. I found a pkg file and installed it through RPCS3 but the patcher doesn't recognize the directory where it is installed. It's unfortunate because it has the potential to run very well on RPCS3 according to some youtube vids
That's a problem. Nearly ended up downloading 26 GB for nothing. Hope someone uploads a prepatched version or repack soon somehow.
Can someone tell me where I can download the 3DS version of the game? Hshop only has an old pre-patched version of the game with the old TL and idk if that's compatible with this new patch.
I found a JAP cia on ziperto >1fischer
The best lost planet is 2 homosexual.
Can someone upload the patch file?
i don't want to use torrent
PS3 patch file is 11GB
PS3 game image is 13GB
Not worth it at all, someone who has the English PS3 game patched and playable should upload a new game image.
Or you can get by with the low fidelity 3DS version
i need patch for 3DS version
>megatards seriously believe they axed a dying sequel for a low budget game for a dying series

ExTroopers was the life support attempt to keep it going via japs and capcom weebs but nu-Capcom was stil just as moronic as Inafune prior, especially that wine drinking jap.
The English patch for ps3 can be played on RPCS3 right?
Don't want to play the gimped 3DS version
Idk how patches work in rpcs3, but I'd assume you'd have to recompile the .iso with the new files
I patched all the ps3 files but there are no guides for RPCS3 and they wont help with that on the discord.
anyone know what to do with all the files? I replaced them on the USRDIR folder but the game is still in japanese
Fug, I need to know this too. Been waiting forever to play on RPCS3
yeah idk why they don't wanna help with it, I have a PS3, I just want to upscale the game
Any chance someone will put the 3DS one up on hShop to replace the worse one there?
the download seems to have stalled. Was anybody able to get it downloaded? I'm talking about the ps3 patch btw.
I have it, its seeding.
just waiting for someone to get it working on rpcs3
I'm seeding the ps3 patch
only some splashscreens got translated, the game is still japanese, I guess there are some extra steps for rpcs3
I remember playing it on my 3DS a long time ago, it was fun, the character designs were neat but it was really nothing more than a portable Lost Planet that for some reason got a port on the PS3
Great game
I just beat Lost Planet today bros.. The final boss fight made no sense but I had fun
ISENBERG!
anyone got the ps3 version running in english yet?
how did they translate kirakiar chan?
>This patch on PS3 only works on the disc version of the game
Ohnonononoahhahahahahhahaha
very cool
For what purpose
SEX
PC PORT WHEN????
