Dragon Ball Heroes Ultimate Mission English Patch -

The demand for an English patch for Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission was unique because it wasn't just about understanding the story; it was about making the game playable. Translating a fighting game is often easy—punches and kicks need no translation. But translating a card game requires meticulously extracting thousands of text strings, converting images, and re-coding the game’s memory to accommodate the English alphabet, which takes up significantly more space than Japanese characters.

This is a grey area. Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X was never released outside of Japan. Bandai Namco has shown no interest in localizing it, likely due to licensing issues with the card art and arcade exclusivity. dragon ball heroes ultimate mission english patch
