Hudson Soft saw fit to unleash the card strategy game Shadows of the Tusk on Japanese Saturn gamers in mid-1998. And in 2024-25, Knight0fDragon believed in the heart of the cards and translated the remainder of the game for our online enjoyment. #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #BestOfSaturn

Is there anyone who'd be interested in hacking Jaseiken Necromancer on PCE? There's a project going on for the mobile version, and the script will be available after completion; it's like, 99% the same, but the mobile version has kanji (which makes it easier to translate).

it's Lucienne's Quest, we just live in it This game is legitimately well made. It's got charm and a fairly unique approach to RPG battles that doesn't make it a chore to play. If you have a way of playing 3DO games, give it a try. Just be prepared for first generation 3D graphics at a low framerate

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

Released patches for Death Crimson and Daisuki on Saturn that: * disable the white flash triggered by light guns, for the benefit of modern setups that don't require it for hit detection (e.g. MiSTer + GUN4IR or Sinden) * make other improvements to Death Crimson (if I didn't do that, who would?!)

Reviews for Airs Adventure are in! "It's like If a game could dissociate I think it'd be like this" "I am completely, 100% sincere I think Ancient Roman is a much better game Ancient Roman is also deranged in very funny ways but this game makes me feel like I and the game itself are fading" - Emi

Honest question: the work I do to produce English versions of Japanese games is often placed under the games preservation umbrella. I'm curious... why? While I help make games accessible for English audiences what I do is transformative, which to me seems anti-preservation in a lot of ways.
