Last Legion UX is a third person action fighting game that was developed by Yuke’s and published by Hudson in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. The game is a fighting game in the same vein as Virtual On, where players get to equip their mechs with different weapons, different combinations, and pit against each other in one-on-one fights. However, Last Legion US was only released in Japan and did not see a localized appearance anywhere else in the world, until now.

The game comes with a Story Mode (or rather, an arcade type mode), One Player Mode (where the player can take on the AI fighter), and Two Player Mode. Each mech comes with their own backstory, along with their specialized weapon attack. Mechs can be equipped with both a primary and secondary weapon, with various combinations of such.

For the English translation, the original English labels were used for the options screens. Many images that already were in English were also checked and corrected for any spelling mistakes. And many other translations were added.

The English translation patch can be downloaded from the relevant Last Legion UX page on ROMHacking.net. The patch must be applied to a Japanese ROM of the game, though, but full detailed instructions on how to do so can be found on the same ROMHacking.net page.

Note: The author of the translation also warns that emulation of the game is not perfect, and encourages players to grab hold of a flashcard cartridge to play it on the real hardware.
