ROM Information
Akumajou Densetsu (J).nes - GOODNES 3.14Translation description
I'm certain we have a hack of Akumajou Densetsu somewhere around here, but unlike that patch, which was just the English script cut-n'-pasted into the Japanese ROM, this one's from scratch, translated from the original script. Of course, this also means the original names apply (Trevor Belmont is now Ralph Belmond), but also gone are the dubious errors ("Bad world full of evil"). But yeah, whether be it Trevor, Ralph, Bad world or evil, Akamajou Densetsu is a game to play. Only now there's no Nintendo censorship to get in the way of things. Wee! Version 1.0 features a title screen replacement courtesy of BMF54123.Screenshots

Having played through Akumajou Dracula without encountering Japanese text, I thought Akumajou Densetsu would be the same way-but it turns out there are story sections! ^ _^ And of course they're in Japanese, which I can't read! Fortunately, I found this translation, which enabled me to follow what was going on. = D I could have done without the "Belmond" name change and the title screen logo change/translation, but regardless of those minor aesthetic quibbles, this translation let me understand what Sypha was saying when I met them, and the story with them at the end of the game-couldn't have done that without it! | |||

Hey guys! A fellow hacker here. Thank you so much for your effort, if it weren't for you I would not have been able to finish my own project regarding this game. One thing though, just as an observation. The Vlad Tepes reference is good, but that breaks the canon with the original timeline, since Dracula's original name is Mathias Cronqvist in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (first in the timeline). Out of that I think the translation is top notch :D Thanks again for this wonderful work! | |||

The new text is much better, though I have a few issues. "Belmond" doesn't sound like a real name, and it isn't as cool as Belmont. Also, there's untranslated Japanese on the title screen. Though it is written out in the English alphabet (and it looks freakin' awesome), it's still untranslated. Why not put DRACULA'S CURSE in the epic splattery text? And it's not a "Demon" castle. It's Dracula's castle. Uncensoring things is awesome, but localization isn't wrong. Despite this, the sweet, sweet music makes up for all the little nit-picky things. | |||
