What is this?! What happened to the campaign?
While we campaigned hard to get .hack//Link properly localized in English, unfortunately Namco Bandai has opted to not license the game. That may sounds like bad news, but keep reading. The great thing about the Internet and a few hardcore fans is that things mega-corporations don't want to do - especially within the gaming and anime industries - can get done if the stars align right! Since February of 2011, a small but dedicated group of .hack fans have been slowly translating .hack//Link for the PlayStation Portable into English.
The main storyline of the .hack//Link PSP game has been fully translated and released in video form on YouTube - code named "Shadow Signs." The reason for the .hack//Link video translation was to fill in gaps .hack fans would have in the series storyline due to no official release by Namco Bandai. You can view the videos below.
The .hack//Link PSP English Patch
Now, probably what many of you are scanning this post for: the .hack//Link PSP English patch. Code named "Terror Infection," This fan tranlsation patch is "a basic main story patch that covers all the manga scenes and FMVs, and enough conversations for you to understand the gist of the major plotlines. Game text, emails, and non-essential events in the main story will probably be excluded."
The release date is tentatively scheduled for October of 2011. Dothackers will not be providing access or instructions on how to apply the patch. We are not affiliated with the translated patch.
The small dedicated group of .hack fans are asking everyone who will download the patch to purchase a legitimate copy of the Japanese version of .hack//Link for the PSP.
The best place to purchase the Japanese version is at Play-Asia, retailing for dirt cheap at $37.99. There is no excuse to pirate .hack//Link at a price this low.
Be sure to thank your selfless .hack//Link saviors over at dothackers message board: Kuukai (the translator), JunBansyoya (PSP hax0r), and Zer0 (video editing and encoding).
