With the recent release of Super Mario Advance 4 to the Wii U virtual console, good old Nintendo decided it was time to dig through the archives and put together a version of the game that includes all 38 eReader Level Cards in it, hardcoded into the rom, rather then the save file.

Some clever people over on GBATemp have managed to take these changes out of the Wii U eShop game and make a patch for v1.1 of the original game, allowing anyone to take a crack at these fun, albeit obscure stages.

After many years of on and off progress, the final version of Revenge of the Red Falcon is finally available…

The hack progressed in parallel with the development of the editor Red Falcon, a level editor for Contra on the NES. As the editor evolved, the hack could progress until completion. As soon as the first level could be saved, the hack took a start, and multiple demos were released over time, with incremental adjustments along the way…

This hack is aimed at players who can, at minimum, beat the original game with ease. The beginner or casual player may have a hard time with the hack, as the difficulty level is meant to be higher than the original game. Levels are a lot longer and enemies attack faster, or behave in a more random fashion. There’s also a few palette changes, a new Intro Screen and a longer epilogue. Bosses are very tough…

Are you up for the challenge?

“Taiyou no Yuusha: Fighbird”, aka “Brave Fighter of the Sun: Fighbird” is a shoot’em up game based on a mecha anime of the Yuusha or Brave series. (Protip: use Select in some instances in the game). The game is super easy when you acquire the level 3 homing missiles (which is OP).

The author decided on making an English re-translation of this obscure Japanese game because the previous group did not translated some of the game’s texts (i.e. the part when you did not rescue the people then the Doctor says something about it; while some untranslated texts were simply unused).

Before, the author wanted to make a bugfix/addendum patch of the translation made by Dragoon-X Translations (DXT). But the translation took liberties on its own without much reference with the anime counterpart. And there were messups with the hexadecimals that made some palettes on the talking heads glitchy. And there’s the notorious misnomer of “Kenta”, which DXT (and PL Translations) called “Kesota”. Understandably, they mistaken “n”, [ン] with “so”, [ソ]. The names of each member of the Baron Team is used instead of the regular vehicle names. And there’s their title logo, not gonna touch it because its cool. Eventually, the author made a fresh start with the original ROM.

Note that the author rendered a nice and new title logo and mini in-game logo :)

Please enjoy the game!
