Translation NES / Famicom

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys English translation

イースIII ワンダラーズフロムイース

Vice Translations' English patch for the Japan-only Famicom version of Ys III, with darthvaderx's 2025 Definitive Edition addendum on top.

What's translated

Vice Translations' patch, released on 7 January 2005, puts the Famicom adaptation of Ys III into English and is listed as fully playable. This version of the game differs from the better-known 16-bit releases, so it is worth playing on its own terms.

Definitive Edition

In March 2025 darthvaderx released a final-fix addendum, called the Definitive Edition, which builds on the Vice Translations work. It needs a ROM with a header.
