  • Faxanadu 40th Anniversary Edition Released

    Romhack of Faxanadu (NES)

    You can follow songbirder’s projects via YouTube, Twitch, SRC, or Linktree.

    A premiere livestream will be held by HungryGoriya on Saturday, May 23, at 7:30pm US Eastern time.

    Says hack author songbirder:

    Faxanadu 40th Anniversary Edition is an update to this classic and unique Action RPG for the NES.

    This romhack keeps what makes Faxanadu an amazing game while filling in gaps in the game world, fixing bugs, adding quality-of-life improvements, and just a few touch ups to the story and world of the World Tree. It is based on the western release.

    2027 marks the 40th year since the game’s creation — we’re still in 2026, so there’s plenty of time for community feedback and adjustments. Eventually the source files from the tooling will be published so anyone wanting to fork the project into their own version can do so.

    You can check out the hack website here or the Discord here.

    The RHDN publication can be found here.

  • FFVI: Turn-Based Released

    Romhack of Final Fantasy III (SNES)

    The Turn-Based mod of Final Fantasy III on SNES has been released courtesy of clymax.

    The mod is unofficial and unaffiliated with Square Enix.

    Release Build: Features

    You can find the release on Romhack Plaza here.

    Battles are now in turn-based mode.

    No more Active Time Battle (ATB) system.

    Due to the way the mod interacts with the vanilla game engine, passing turns between characters with a full ATB bar still advances enemy ATB slightly.

    Development Build: Features

    You can now toggle turn-based via the config menu. The default setting is on.

    The sound setting was repurposed, so this setting now controls both turn-based and sound.

    A demo of the mod is below.

    So, what do you think? What’s your favorite battle system in the Final Fantasy series? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.
