Translation Game Boy Color

Harry Potter & the Mystical Halo English translation

Harry Potter 3

Neo Fuji's English patch for Vast Fame's unlicensed Game Boy Color shoot 'em up sold as Harry Potter 3.

What's translated

Neo Fuji translated the Chinese text of this unlicensed cartridge into English and gave it the title Harry Potter & the Mystical Halo. The patch came out in March 2011 and is listed as fully playable, so the story screens and menus no longer get in the way.

The game

Vast Fame made a number of original games for the Game Boy Color and sold them under famous names; this one is a shoot 'em up that only borrows the boy wizard's name. It is a curiosity of the bootleg era rather than a licensed tie-in.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the original cartridge, following the instructions on the patch's database page.
