Welcome to a short English guide on the voice commands in the Dreamcast game Battle Beaster by Dream Gaurdians. After playing Pikachu Genki Dechu some years ago, I realised that a short list of voice commands for such a game were rather useful for non-Japanese speakers.
This guide is a simple translation of a table published in a Dreamcast magazine, as such it would not list all commands, however the basics are covered.
If you are unable to view Japanese text for whatever reason, ignore the first table and find the translations below.

As a historical side note, it will be interesting when browsers start supporting the vertical text which is a part of CSS3 standards.
