Bsky buddies! Trouble tracking down a specific interview quote? Things to try: 🧵

1️⃣ Make sure you're on our actual website in the Translations section (kanzenshuu.com/translations/), not our forum. We love our forum, but it's not the site!

2️⃣ Filters! Sort by release type, year, title, format, etc.
Time to wake up for a fresh @kanzenshuu.com podcast episode! This time around we have @vegettoex.bsky.social chatting with @goldenportable.bsky.social about pre-smartphone games and his work porting one of them (a racing game!!!) to the PlayStation 2.

Spoiler: we have @goldenportable.bsky.social coming up on the next podcast episode talking all about old Dragon Ball mobile phone games and his work on porting this racing game (!!!) to the PlayStation 2! Stay tuned to your RSS feeds next week...
@vegettoex.bsky.social from Kanzenshuu was able to test my early DBZ Racing port on real PlayStation 2 hardware and it works like a charm!

Planning a V2 release sometime next week with some actual basic gameplay and the actual Goku racer sprites in!

This was the news 20 years ago! DB movie 2 was finally getting an uncut/bilingual DVD release from FUNimation (otherwise just dub-only VHS since 1998) as part of a box set… and Dragon Box: The Movies was also coming in Japan!

Exact same hardware that I was playing this game on 20 years ago. I don’t know why I later bought an American copy of the game — it’s not like I ever played that one!

Listening back to nearly 20 years ago and only slightly dying of embarrassment. It’s both better and worse than I remembered in every way. Julian is fully formed from moment zero.

You may have heard today (November 5th) is Chi-Chi's birthday! Where the heck does this date actually come from though? This info comes from character biography data included in the 1986 No. 37 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump. Check out our translations archive!
