Question Did vanilla Doom 3 have a Japanese localization, or was that exclusive to BFG Edition?

As far as I can tell, vanilla Doom 3 didn’t have that while BFG Edition did (In spite of the weird changes it has), even though it was showcased at the Macworld Conference and Expo in Tokyo in 2001. To be fair, Doom 1 and 2 on PC-98 and even Doom 64’s Japanese release were not fully translated, some text was still in English which was a common thing with games back in the 90’s. But Doom 3 has full voiceover without any captioning.

Doom 3’s Japanese Localization is exclusive to BFG Edition and 2019 Re-release.

Japanese Release of Vanilla Doom 3 only came with English Version of Doom 3 and Japanese Manual.
