By 1997, game developers were beginning to experiment and take advantage of the CD-based storage medium of the Playstation. Amongst those game developers was the team developing Ace Combat 3. Spanning two CDs, Ace Combat 3 includes a branching storyline with 5 different endings. It was also the first Ace Combat game to include characters with extensive voice acting, and with it, more wingmen giving the series its trademark sense of camaraderie. Unfortunately, due to development costs, most of these groundbreaking elements would be cut out of the international release of the game, cutting the game size down to one CD and opting for one singular path of the story, and the voice work and other characters all but removed. However, those efforts would not go unsung forever and would eventually be realized thanks to the efforts of Team NEMO, a fan translation team who translated and restored all the cut content for English-speaking audiences.
