Akumajou Densetsu English translation
悪魔城伝説 · Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
ShadowOne333's English translation of the Japanese Castlevania III, for players who want the Famicom version's enhanced music and original balance with English text.
Why the Japanese version
The Famicom release of Castlevania III is quite different from the one sold in the West: its cartridge carries extra sound channels for a fuller soundtrack, and the Western version changed the difficulty, some graphics and details of the characters. This patch keeps all of that and puts the game's text into English.
Versions
Version 8.0 came out in July 2026 and is offered in two builds: the standard one and an alternate build with a different take on Alucard.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge following the creator's instructions on the release page.
