Earlier this week, fan translation group Star Trinket released an English-language patch for Medarot R. A home console spinoff starring Ikki Tenyrou, the game was originally released on the PlayStation in 1999.

Unlike other side stories in the Medarot franchise, this entry keeps the traditional relay RPG battle system. The game’s character designs were created by Kenki Fujioka. It was only ever released in Japan, with development handled by Natsume with Imagineer publishing.

The work done by Star Trinket is exhaustive. All text inside the game has been translated into English for the first time. This includes menus, battle screens and dialogue. Their work can be played on any PlayStation emulator, provided the user procures an ISO of the game disc and properly applies the translation patch.

The release marks the first completed fan translation of a Medarot video game. Those interested in supporting Star Trinket’s work should check out their Patreon.
