And finally, we translated a short Seiken Densetsu interview with Koichi Ishii, conducted in 2005 to celebrate its 15th anniversary. Seiken fans will love this one as he touches on the themes of melancholy and sadness which defined the series from the very start. shmuplations.com/seikendenset...

To celebrate Fatal Fury I made a Geese Howard greeting card. I made a mechanic that creates a sorta "falling" effect when you open it. It says, "I'm just like Geese Howard... I'm falling for you!"

I've been obsessed with Air Twister. A Yu Suzuki mobile game that came out in 2022, then later to consoles. It's modern day Space Harrier. But with an insane soundtrack from dutch composer Valensia. You play to something that sounds exactly like Queen & it's amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFLA...

lizbushouse.com/localization... This time we return to Gregminster and quickly find ourselves in trouble. We also see how the remaster smooths over a lot of the PS1 translation's rough edges, learn that even loan words can't be translated directly, and find some ungrammatical Japanese.
