Does the Saturn port of Stellar Assault have much in the way of translation stuff? I'm mostly just familiar with the 32X original.
It has about an hour of uncaptioned voiced dialogue. The transcribed script is about 19,400 Japanese characters, or 8,000 English words — roughly three times larger than Bulk Slash, my team's previous translation project.
Wow, that's a lot for what I assumed was just a nicer looking port of a 32X game.
Yeah, it's not a port at all. It's a completely new game that reimagines the original gameplay ideas and plot from the 32X game. It wasn't even developed by the same team — a third-party company, SIMS, licensed the IP from Sega to develop Stellar Assault SS and Sega published it.
Ah, so it's actually a sequel to OutRun 2019.
(the joke being that SIMS licensed the OutRun IP from Sega for that game, though I think SIMS self-published the game in Japan...though I think Hertz developed that game, this joke is falling apart really fast)
