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...

This short message from the developers of the Seiken Densetsu (known as Final Fantasy Adventure overseas) appeared in the liner notes of the Seiken Densetsu OST.

New video on the second channel, this one is about bathrooms and the surprising difficulties of finding one in every Resident Evil game.
Is this stupid? Yes. But it's important research, I promise.
Watch this on the toilet for optimal immersion.

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!"
