Soooo... "Mahou no Shoujo Silky Lip" for the Sega CD Has Just Been Translated into English.

[Scotty Scotty]

Yes, you read that title correctly lol. One of the most obscure titles, that was exclusive to Japan, and was developed for an expensive add-on that wasn't exactly celebrated by the gaming community at the time, AND was featured in the Sega Mega Drive Mini 2 (the JP model, specifically)... has finally been translated into English.

Ladies, gentlemen, and all living creatures alike, may I present you guys with "Mahou no Shoujo Silky Lip"!

Developed by Nihon Telenet (the guys behind the Genesis port of "Mugen Senshi Valis," "Valis III" and the Genesis port of "Ys III") and published by Riot, this is an a magical girl themed adventure game with some light RPG undertones that is structured like a TV series.

As a fan of magical girl anime and one of the 3 people who actually LIKE the Sega CD, this game was on my radar for an excruciatingly long time. The only reason I hadn't looked into it proper at the time was... well, it wasn't yet translated and my Japanese is very limited. That's going to change very soon.

The team responsible for this new fan translation is none other than the Supper team; the same people behind "Madou Monogatari" for Mega Drive and its Game Gear offerings, the Mega Drive version of "Sailor Moon," the "Galaxy Fraulein Yuna" games, and even the Sega Saturn port of "Yumimi Mix." These guys (SOMEHOW) managed to implement their FMV cutscene subtitles from their PCE-CD translations... onto the Sega CD. Just when I thought it wouldn't be possible to implent this technology on the Sega CD, these guys found a way.

Anyway, grab the patch here.

Do I make four? Or am I one of the three...? Either way, count me in amongst the group of Sega CD likers

I suggested for this to be added to the repo through the repo curator chat. I can't add it myself, but one of the other curators probably will sooner or later. I'm interested in it too. Supper always picks good games to work on and their translation patches are always top notch

its been a pretty huge year for translations of games specifically up my alley it feels like

I hope that :

1) This opens the door for more Sega CD translations.
2) A-Rank Thunder Tanjouhen is next.

1) This opens the door for more Sega CD translations.

THIS!!

I especially want to see "Shadowrun" get translated.

Other than that..... I dunno. Maybe proper retranslations of "Lunar 1 & 2" + "Popful Mail" that outdo the "Un-Working Designs" mods.

Yeah, I've always thought that the Sega CD was over-hated. Sure, it was marketed poorly (especially in America), the FMV "games" aren't particularly great and a good chuck of its library is re-released Genesis games with various enhancements... Nevertheless, it had some neat exclusives which I can actually recommend, unlike the 32X.

I don't know if "cj iwakura" is going to let go of his "control" (translators and ROMhackers can sometimes be possessive of stalled-out projects) of Shadowrun for someone else to work on.

"A good year for translations" says the old farmer as he sits back with his straw hat in his rocking chair chewing on a lone piece of straw after a hard days work content with the knowledge he did good and others like him who actually cares about the value of hard labor under the midday sun. - Lao Tzu probably.
