Translation NES / Famicom

Faxanadu English translation

ファザナドゥ

Unsavory Maggot's new English translation of the Japanese Faxanadu, keeping the imagery and character naming that the US release removed.

About the patch

Unsavory Maggot retranslated the Japanese Famicom version of Faxanadu from scratch. Working from the Japanese release means the patch keeps what the American version cut: the religious imagery and the screen where you name your hero.

There are two builds of version 1.04: one meant for the FCEUX emulator and one for real hardware.

Related work

The same author also made a separate restoration hack that undoes the censorship on the US version. Most other fan translations of the game start from the US or European release, so this one is the closest to the original.
