Akumajou Special: Boku Dracula-kun English translation
悪魔城すぺしゃる ぼくドラキュラくん · Kid Dracula
chronix's English translation of the Famicom Kid Dracula, Konami's tongue-in-cheek Castlevania spin-off.
What it is
chronix translated Akumajou Special: Boku Dracula-kun, the Famicom original of Kid Dracula, into English. Version 1.0 was released on 26 January 2019 and covers the whole game.
The game
This is Castlevania played for laughs: you control Dracula's young heir, who wakes up to find a rival demon trying to take over, and blasts his way through cartoonish stages with a growing set of abilities. The story scenes between stages and the in-game text are what the patch makes readable.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the translation's romhacking.net page.
