Magical Girl Mega CD RPG Silky Lip Gets English Fan Translation with QoL Fixes
A fan translation of the 1992 Sega Mega CD adventure-RPG Mahou no Shoujo: Silky Lip is now available, with quality-of-life fixes that make the game easier to enjoy.
Mahou no Shoujo: Silky Lip, a 1992 Japanese-exclusive adventure-RPG for the Sega Mega CD, has received an English fan translation from Stargood Translations. The patch not only translates the game’s text but also smooths over several of the original’s rough edges: faster text scrolling, an interaction icon for talk and look commands, faster walking speed, and a complete overhaul of how the A button triggers overworld interactions.
Translator Supper didn’t oversell the game, calling it “not a lost classic,” but noted that the Mega CD’s tiny exclusive library made even a lesser-known title worth the effort. The team described Silky Lip’s internal structure as simple enough to make a translation feasible, and the resulting patch is one of very few English options on a platform that rarely gets this kind of attention.
Mega CD preservation is perpetually underserved. Any new translation that opens a previously untranslated game is worth celebrating, quirks and all. The QoL tweaks are a nice acknowledgment that a straight localisation wouldn’t have been enough to make the game playable by modern standards.
