April/May/June voting!

Greetings to all patrons new and old. It's time again to offer suggestions and feedback re: what you'd like to see translated in the next few months. I'll still be referring to the previous voting posts, but it's never a bad idea to post again what you'd like to see translated.  Also, if multiple people suggest the same interview, it's more likely to get translated, so feel free to second other people's suggestions. And as always, don't hesitate to ask questions about the interviews if you're curious about their content/length etc.  

To vote, please take a look at the list here: http://shmuplations.com/patreonlist/ and leave a comment on this post letting me know what you'd like me to translate.

Hi everyone! Last cycle saw a big update to the look of shmuplations, and while I'm still fine-tuning things here and there, I think it's largely been a success. Thank you for your support during that period.

This month, I've added about ~100 new interviews to the list of materials. You can find them by searching for !NEW!, or by sorting by the "Date Added" column. These were primarily taken from Saturn Fan, LOGiN  (1983-1985), Nintendo Dream (2002-2004), and Famitsu (late 90s). As such, it's a lot of Sega Saturn/Dreamcast material, with some Nintendo thrown in. Some of the pieces that caught my eye:

* an excellent, lengthy Minish Cap interview
* an early interview with "star programmer" Koichi Nakamura before he worked with Enix. This interview has been mentioned before by Yuji Horii when talking about Nakamura's cachet and reputation in the early 80s.
* a Kenji Eno x Yuzo Koshiro music interview around the Story of Thor period that looks fascinating
* a roundtable interview including Metroid/Kid Icarus designer Yoshio Sakamoto, with lots of reminiscing about the FDS
* a super early (1985) profile of Square that focuses mostly on their adventure games, some great rare photos
* Super Mario Bros. 3 composer interview with Koji Kondo, short but good
* and on the "curio" side, an early Bill Gates interview from LOGiN where he talks about the MSX

...and much more. Oh, I also have a backlog of Street Fighter (II, III, Alpha) video interviews that I would like to subtitle, so look for more video content soon as well. Thank you again for all your support!
