Sakura Wars GB fan localizers burntends and Matt B join the podcast to talk about bringing the English version of this spinoff to life. How do you translate a Kansai accent? How often should you check the showers? We get into everything about this surprisingly important title. Did you know Sakura Wars GB is the first Sega game on Nintendo hardware? I also do a deep dive into the best place to play retro Game Boy titles: the Analogue Pocket. And join me in the alleys of Shinjuku to check out 8bitcafe, a retro gaming themed bar. It has a Super Famicom Box, what’s not to love?
