XABUNGLE SIDE R IS OUT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA youtu.be/V4DKW58NEyk

Super Robot Wars Y DLC Nov 21st

Here's my piece on Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D for @pcgamer.com! www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/th...

There's another Touhou fan game in early access that mentions Super Robot Wars, but in a really funny way. Seeing this made us realize that since Mountain of Faith was in 2007, in Sanae's view, "retro" SRW would be SRW 4, and Alpha 3 and Original Generations would still be pretty new...

finished fantasy maiden wars. sorry dungeon encounters but i think there's a new best game ever made

To celebrate Fantasy Maiden Wars getting an official English translation, we interviewed the English translation team to learn more about the translation. Click the link below to read the article! special thanks to @guiltyjake.bsky.social and mogumogu.carrd.co! en.touhougarakuta.com/article/fant...

For Crunchyroll News, I spoke with @dramata.bsky.social and her team about their 13 year journey translating the indie Touhou strategy RPG Fantasy Maiden Wars! www.crunchyroll.com/news/intervi...

Being name checked in an interview when you have no reason to even consider it is very surreal and funny. Anyway Fantasy Maiden Wars is cool, @dramata.bsky.social et. al. do awesome work, you should buy that game if you like either Touhou or Super Robot Wars bsky.app/profile/rich...

The Fantasy Maiden Wars team contributed to two different features about the game's official release and translation, which both came out today. Here's the first! en.touhougarakuta.com/article/fant...

Bullet hell tactical RPG Fantasy Maiden Wars - Dream of the Stray Dreamer is now available on PC Steam globally. A bundle with the base game and soundtrack is also available: www.rpgsite.net/news/18772-f...

PSA Are you playing Fantasy Maiden Wars?! Good! Did you know, like all the Super Robot Wars games, it has a functioning wiki on Akurasu under the popular name for the rereleased game before it got a localized title? Use it if you want to know missable secrets, etc.! akurasu.net/wiki/Gensou_...

Fantasy Maiden Wars is now out and very affordable at $30! (Or $35 with the frankly ginormous 200+ track OST!) 🎉 store.steampowered.com/app/3575980/...

It's on brand that Warrior of Light would use proper capitalization and punctuation when texting people, but what I want to see is Rinoa's texting style. I feel like she should use tons of abbreviations, exclamation marks, cute emotes, and also "OMGF" instead of "OMFG".

Planning out some PlayStation book photo shoots this afternoon

Normally this kind of tip would be overkill in a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, but there's one story battle where Ramza has to solo a boss, so you can't just muddle around with him. He needs to have at least SOME optimized damage and survival capabilities to get through that.

New to FFT? Ivalice Chronicles has a ton of nice QOL stuff, but here's a thread of some things that newer players might not know, and things that it would be useful TO know! 0/thread

Comp copy day! Uncle from Another World volume 12, in which Uncle is baffled to learn of a game system that involves swinging nunchuks, someone from the Kofun Era takes issue with the era name, and we all learn about Japanese energy drink commercials from the early 90s.

@dramata.bsky.social shared this on the other site, a really impassionate presentation of the FMW series. if you like super robot wars, touhou, or just strategy rpgs in general, you should take a look and maybe try out the demo on store.steampowered.com/app/3972200/... note.com/guiltyjake/n...

Andrew Dice was a wonderful colleague, and I will sorely miss him as both a coworker and a friend. My heart goes out to Robin and all of Andrew's friends and loved ones. I'm still blindsided.

Woolsey had even more restrictive challenges, if you'll believe it. He's shared anecdotes in interviews about how in Secret of Mana he submitted a completed script, then Square sent it back and said it wouldn't fit on the rom and he needed to pare it down to 30% of the initial text volume.

Given Alexander Smith's anecdote about translating Final Fantasy 8 without ANY kind of script provided (having to play and record the game on VHS and transcribe it before TL could happen), I refuse to believe FF Tactics PS1's text structure was remotely coherent. I'd love to see those old workfiles.

So yeah, this is a thing!

There's a demo up on Steam for Fantasy Maiden Wars! store.steampowered.com/app/3972200/...

I've known Pendy for literal decades, and it was a blast getting to reconnect for this podcast recording! Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick volume 1 is out today, I hope the readers enjoy it. 💖 There's certainly plenty more coming!

A friend and colleague spotted a Super Robot Wars Y ad at a hobby shop in Times Square of all places!

Hey everyone, check it out! Two more that I worked on :) These are completely different translations from the Retro Brawler Bundle versions on the Switch, and I did my absolute damnedest to make sure that full-length names for characters, skills, and items were in place for both games.

“Oh, I’m ffffffffucked!” “How true. Goodbye, Dickhead.”

that's right, I drew a cover for Famitsu magazine!! A textless version will be included inside with the full feature about Undertale's 10th anniversary. Coming out Sept 11 in Japan

Comp copy day! This book is surprisingly big and heavy at a whopping 375 pages. Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick is being officially released on September 23!

heard a cool game came out today totally not bias had an absolute blast as part of the TL team on this one. was really excited to come back after working on the first one. it's big, it's weird, it's swinging for the fences. happpppppy launch day!

My assembled army of PAX acquisitions

Time to play that game everyone's talking about. You know the one

Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru, a Sega Saturn sidescroller renowned for its beautiful dark feudal Japan setting, now has an English translation patch thanks to a team of fans led by Exxistance! Get the details in our story: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/08/29/s... #sega #saturn #segasaturn

Some pics from our visit to Kubota Garden 🌳

Today's Kinokuniya haul. Now I just have to figure out how to fit it in my luggage...

Very proud to announce that I was an editor on Super Robot Wars Y. Plot- and dialogue-wise, it's a very cool game, and the localization team did a great job at handling the text for it. Hopefully everybody enjoys it—I know I'm looking forward to the parts I both did and didn't work on.

Now that it's out, time for the usual. I was the team lead for Super Robot Wars Y! I oversaw the translators and editors, and I handled final review passes. I think this game's writing is something special, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Maybe next time...

Like Cowboy Bebop? Did you know there was a PS2 game only released in Japan? Did you know I released a full English translation of it that you can play now? Check it out here: github.com/SONICMAN69/B...

I need you all to understand that I'm not exaggerating when I say that prior to 2000, it was always at least ten different miracles any video games ever got localized, no matter what state they came out in, especially between Japanese and English. The sheer misery of the process described here...

me (not the editor): wait, I think I know a translator who’s a dragon quest super fan… let me reach out to her…. and it all worked out 🎉✨

Y'all DO NOT understand how excited Christina is about this. This is insanely cool and it's a dream come true, not just for her but for so many (Mark of Erdrick is *enormous*). bsky.app/profile/dram...

With the early release of the manga in SQEX's LA pop-up store, I've been cleared to talk about it publicly. I'm the translator for the manga series Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick, AKA Emblem of Roto. This has been a dream project of mine for literal decades.

My favorite Umamusume pasttime now is getting screenshots of girls with plushies of themselves.

Completely localized Fantasy Maiden Wars is honestly biggest gaming news of the year for me.

Fantasy Maiden Wars covers Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night, Mountain of Faith, Subterranean Animism, and Undefined Fantastic Object. So yes, it's a solid story primer for pretty much all of early Touhou and its cast of characters! bsky.app/profile/blac...

i was an early follower of this playthrough thread, way back around when I believe we were still waiting for the final chapter Yume to even come out. highly vouch for this game, the translators did a phenomenal job

HOLY FUCKING SHIT FANTASY MAIDEN WARS REAL??????????????
