Faxanadu Restoration (NES) – Mod Showcase Livestream

Romhack of Faxanadu (NES)

Xynosaur is a fan of retrogaming who is also a creator in demo/chip music. You can follow Xyno’s work via YouTube, Bandcamp, or Soundcloud.

The romhack is courtesy of Ascended Mermaid, whose work you can follow on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, or Github.

Writes Xyno:

I know, I know…the game was made by Hudson Soft but it says Falcom on the title screen ! :O

Forget about Ys or Trails tonight…we gonna go back in time, when the only Falcom games that was released here was Ys on the Sega Master System and Dragon Slayer IV (named Legacy of the Wizard in US) !!

Playing on the Rest[o]ration romhack patch in which you get the original Japanese sprites, better translation, recovered the name system that was removed from the US version and NO MORE PASSWORDS !!! (Thank GOD !)

The hack publication can be found on RHDN here, or check out the Faxanadu Randomizer and Romhacking Discord here.

Part two of the Let’s Play follows.

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.
