Macross M3 has received a long-awaited fan translation patch, finally making its story accessible to Western players. Originally released on the Sega Dreamcast, the game was always praised for its narrative but remained difficult to enjoy without Japanese language knowledge.
The patch delivers a full translation of all story scenes and in-mission communications, along with translated image-based text and nearly all system menus, including VMU save and load screens. Briefing text remains untranslated due to technical limitations, as those sections do not support native subtitles.
For the best visual experience, the translation is recommended for use alongside the available color accuracy patch. With this update, Macross M3 becomes fully playable for non-Japanese speakers,

I got this as an import but ended up not being very impressed by the visuals.
