Translation of Echo Night II had largely stalled/was in hiatus after/when Devil Hacker's Nest was attacked by fAtlus and gone under. When that happened, Tom and Gemini largely lost any means of communication and...I had to contact Tom directly to inform him of Gemini's whereabouts, before they managed to get back together to finish this project/release. So...I take great relief in the fact that I was personally the one who essentially forced the Echo Night II translation project to be completed and released to the public in it's final form, because I just couldn't stand there and do nothing when I knew that the translation was almost-complete (but never released) by the time DHN died. I just can only hope that someday this might also be the case with Marl Oukoku 2 Little Princess+1, as that one was nearly complete as well back in the days, but was never released due to a game-freezing bug in just one mini-game.

Unbelievably happy that you mentioned Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden here. If you ever want to sink your teeth into ones that are probably easier for you to follow (since Alpha Gaiden is a sidestory/sequel to Alpha 1), you could try SRW J for the GBA (full translation patch is available), Super Robot Wars OGs for the PS2 (Original story using only SRW-original characters, aka no knowledge of mecha anime needed, English patch released this year), or you could try out Super Robot Wars V, Super Robot Wars X, or Super Robot Wars T, all of which are available on PS4 and the Switch, with V and X being available on Steam as well. (These three games are officially released in English, but only in Southeast Asian, so you'd have to either import the PS4/Switch releases or pirate the Steam ones). And of course, if the series appeals to you, Super Robot Wars 30 is releasing this October globally on Steam for the first time in the franchise's history.

I just recently played through the fan translation and while it was certainly playable it did suck the wind out of my sails a bit to have to hop back on my phone every time I completed a battle to figure out what was going on. Excellent game, though. Wish it had gotten an official localization back in the day. And since I love Front Mission in general, a Front Mission Alternative fan translation would be wonderful, too.

This was a fun overview of the PlayStation's fan translations library! As someone who follows the scene pretty closely, it was nice to see all these projects highlighted in one spot. So thanks for making this. As for your final question: my answer changes all the time but I would love to play a fan translation of the PS1 version of Kamaitachi no Yoru. The game was translated for the iPhone in 2014 as "Banshee's Last Cry" but it is no longer available and its script was heavily altered from the original (changing the setting from 90s Japan to modern day Canada). I missed my chance to play the iPhone version since I didn't have an iOS device at the time and I've heard that the PS1 version is considered the definitive release of the game so it would be awesome if someone made a fan translation with a more faithful script.

Also, if I was to pick a game or series that I would love to see a future translation on, it would have be the Option Tuning Car Racing series as they are really cool racers but can be tough to work through the menu & upgrade systems when trying to progress.

Great video! Lots to digest here for fans of japanese games. One of my picks for new translations would be the Fuuraiki (風雨来記) series, which is basically a virtual travel through Japan on a motorcycle, with visual novel elements. They have real photos and descriptions of the places they go. The latest, Furaiki 4 for PS4/Switch, even has 360 degree video footage where you can manually look around in every direction. It completely wowed me when i saw some footage. It's also Japanese-only. But it all started on the PS1 with Hokkaido, then Okinawa for Fuuraiki 2, Fuuraiki 3 (PSVita) goes back to Hokkaido, and Furaiki 4 plays in the rural Gifu prefecture. Note: The spelling of the game differs according to source, usually Fuuraiki (vndb) or Furaiki in English, while the literal Japanese transcription should actually have three "u"s in a row! Fuuuraiki, or ふううらいき. (風雨 = fuuu = wind and rain) Thankfully, i've been learning Japanese for a while, so i'll definitely try the originals at some point, but it would be much easier and faster in English ^^ though it must be hard to translate, i guess.

That's why a translation would be great (= (though Furaiki 4 may be fun to try even without Japanese knowledge, just for the 360 degrees video footage through Japan)

Still patiently waiting for a fan translation of Yuuyami Doori Tankentai and Kamaitachi no Yoru... Yuuyami Doori Tankentai is a 2D semi open-world horror adventure game with the characters represented by digitized actors. It's sort of like the Twilight Syndrome games, and was developed by some of the staff that worked on said games. You play a group of junior high school students who explore their city in order to solve various supernatural mysteries. Kamaitachi no Yoru is a cool murder mystery visual novel that takes place at a winter resort, which gradually devolves into increasingly mysterious occurrences depending on what decisions you make. 1. I think the main problem hampering Yuuyami Doori Tankentai is that it uses handwritten text which is drawn pretty clumsily (since the main characters are still children) and so the text is barely legible to non-native Japanese speakers. 2. Kamaitachi no Yoru DID get an official translation, but because the literal translation of the title "Night of the Sickle Weasel" might sound silly to western ears, and because a "sickle weasel" might not sound as creepy as it would in Japan, the title was changed to "Banshee's Last Cry." Not only was the title changed, but the setting and the names of the characters were also changed. The resort was moved to either North America or Canada, and because the original game included a lot of photographs of a Japanese ski resort serving as the background images, those photographs were thrown out and replaced with photographs of a US/Canadian ski resort. The names of the characters were also westernized, and the music was reworked. So the actual localized version of the game is pretty much a full on westernized remake that you would expect from a Hollywood studio bringing a Japanese horror franchise to the west and trying to make it apply to western values and storytelling tropes. We still don't have a true translation of the game.

Choro q 2 is still pretty good. Some tracks are better than 3’s. It even has choro q 1 tracks, so its a neat package. 3 does seem like the most polished game in the tamsoft trilogy.
