After a more years than I care to remember, Aeon Genesis has finally released a complete translation patch for Madara on the NES. It's a decent game, with a superb soundtrack and some excellent cinematics; it's quite the technical feat for the NES, and the hacking work is absolutely top class. There are no known issues, so share and enjoy!
The plot revolves around a foundling babe whose arms and legs were chopped off, eyes gouged out, ears removed, throat cut out, and even his heart removed. The elder of Niso Forest, Tatara, fashioned mechanical replacements for the child's missing limbs, and named it Madara. Fifteen years later, the Moki generals who stole Madara's body parts have begun to overtake the Fuduraku continent, and Madara must journey forth to recover his real body, and in the process, his real strength, eventually to combat and destroy the evil Emperor, Miroku, who leads the Moki.
