Translation SNES / Super Famicom

Shonen Ninja Sasuke English translation

少年忍者サスケ · Shounen Ninja Sasuke · Legend of the Ninja Kid

Cabal Translations' complete English patch for Sunsoft's ninja action game Shonen Ninja Sasuke, retitled Legend of the Ninja Kid.

What's translated

This patch puts all of the game's text into English, including the status screens and the dialogue, and gives it a new English title, Legend of the Ninja Kid, with a logo drawn by Graphicus. Pennywise did the hacking and edited the script, aishsha translated it, and Ryusui and TheMajinZenki helped with individual lines. Version 1.01 fixed the title screen.

The translator notes that Sunsoft later released the game in English under a different name, with some changes; this patch is his own take on the script. The game is short but has a lot of hidden content, and some text that may never appear in play could not be checked.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the romhack.ing page. Only the BPS and xdelta formats are supported for this game.
