Streets Of Rage Composer Is "Disappointed" More People Aren't Aware Of His Work







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRuDnVGcquk

Quote
When you discuss the soundtrack to the Streets of Rage series, one name is likely to crop up first: Yuzo Koshiro. The legendary composer behind the likes of Revenge of Shinobi, ActRaiser, Etrian Odyssey and more is indelibly connected with Sega's belt-scrolling series, and his studio, Ancient, was involved with the development of the second and third instalments, too.

During his career in games, Kawashima worked on titles such as Batman Returns (SMS / Game Gear), Shinobi II (Game Gear), Eye of the Beholder (Sega CD) and Amazing Island (GC).
Kawashima was recently interviewed by Jonathan Tustain, and spoke about ...

Puyo Puyo (SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis) - English Translation Patch







Quote
This is a complete English translation for the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis version of Puyo Puyo (ぷよぷよ).
The spoken dialog from the STORY MODE has been translated to maintain the original humorous tone when possible.
Where Japanese jokes/slang are used, these have been localized to make sense in English, while keeping to the original context.
The three Japanese voice clips have not been changed. This is to preserve the original voice clips from the original game.
