Translation NES / Famicom

Super Chinese 2: Dragon Kids English translation

スーパーチャイニーズ2 ドラゴンキッド · Little Ninja Brothers

A new English translation of the original Famicom Super Chinese 2 that restores what the American release, Little Ninja Brothers, cut or changed.

What's new

This is a fresh translation of the Japanese game rather than a touch-up of the official one. The script is redone from the original, the censored and clumsy lines of Little Ninja Brothers are gone, and interactive moments that the US version replaced with a line of dialogue are back. The difficulty names are fixed too: the official release labelled the modes the wrong way round. The text also changes depending on whether one or two people are playing.

The microphone scene

One late segment used the microphone built into the Famicom's second controller. The patch makes it playable on an NES setup, but on an emulator you need to map the microphone to a button.

Who made it

Tom translated the script, FlashPV handled the graphics and DDS did the programming.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, following the notes on the project page, which names the exact version it expects.
