Translation NES / Famicom

Niji no Silkroad English translation

虹のシルクロード · Rainbow Silkroad

Stardust Crusaders and aishsha's 2016 English retranslation of the Famicom trading RPG Niji no Silkroad, done from scratch to replace an older, abridged patch.

What's translated

An English patch for this game already existed from 1999, but Stardust Crusaders and aishsha found its text too cut down and made a new translation from scratch, released in March 2016 as Rainbow Silkroad. It covers the whole game and is listed as fully playable. M-Tee drew the new English title screen, and Eien ni Hen helped polish the release.

Good to know

A small separate patch by Killa B from 2009 tweaks the shops so quantities start at one and you can't pick more than you can afford. This entry covers the 2016 translation only.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, following the instructions on the patch's database page. Translation by Stardust Crusaders and aishsha.
