Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon EN [v1.0]
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon EN [v1.0] on Genesis
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon EN [v1.0] is a fan translation patch for the original Japanese SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive game, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. The original game was released in Japan in 1994 by publisher Bandai, developed by Arc System Works (though this is not certain). This English translation makes the game accessible to Western players who couldn't read the original Japanese menus and dialogue. It's a side-scrolling beat 'em up with platforming elements, featuring the popular Sailor Moon cast.
Players control one of the five Sailor Guardians - Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, or Venus - as they fight through stages inspired by the anime. The gameplay is classic beat 'em up: move left or right, punch and kick enemies, jump over obstacles, and use special attacks that deplete a magic meter. Each character has unique strengths and special moves. The game follows the story of the first season, with boss battles against villains like Queen Beryl and the Four Heavenly Kings. It's straightforward, but the inclusion of multiple characters adds replay value.
Today, this translation is a great way to experience a piece of SEGA's anime-licensed library without the language barrier. It's not a deep or polished game - it's a fairly standard Genesis beat 'em up with some rough edges - but fans of Sailor Moon or 16-bit action games will find it charming. The translation patch itself is well done, making the story and mechanics clear. It fills a niche for retro gamers who want to complete their collection of Sailor Moon games in English.
How to Play Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon EN [v1.0] Online
Getting Started
When you start the game, you'll see a title screen and press Start to proceed. On the character select screen, use the D-Pad to choose one of the five Sailor Guardians. Each character has different stats and special moves - feel free to try each to see which fits your playstyle. After selecting, the first stage begins.
The core loop is simple: walk right, beat up enemies with your punch and kick attacks, and use special attacks (by pressing a button combination, typically A+B or similar) when your magic gauge is full. Collect health orbs and power-ups dropped by enemies. Each stage ends with a boss fight; after defeating the boss, you move to the next stage. If you lose all health, you can continue from the beginning of the current stage.
Since this is a translation patch, all menus and dialogue are in English, so you can read the story and understand item descriptions. There's no tutorial, so experiment with the controls to discover your character's moves. The game is not particularly long, but the difficulty ramps up. Using special attacks wisely is key to surviving later stages.
