Translation Game Boy Color

Samurai Kid English translation

サムライキッド

A full English translation of Koei's Japan-only Game Boy Color puzzle platformer, a long-praised hidden gem now playable without Japanese.

Homuramaru with Yasu and Hide: You might have to start over if you break too many!
Homuramaru with Yasu and Hide: You might have to start over if you break too many! 1 / 6

What's translated

The story scenes, the hints from Homuramaru's companions, item descriptions, castle names and the time-attack results screens are all in English. Since the retainers' advice is often what points you to the solution of a room, being able to read it makes a real difference here. The title logo was rebuilt for the English version too.

Playing it

The creators' official page can apply the patch in the browser to your own dump of the Japanese cartridge, or you can download the patch and apply it with any patcher. The page also links a full longplay and a couple of features about the game.
