Battle Mania – 2004 Developer Interview
Added 2018-05-22 19:00:57 +0000 UTChttp://shmuplations.com/battlemania/
This long interview with Vic Tokai alumnus “Takayan” details the history of the cult developer and sheds light on several of their more well-remembered games with a focus on Takayan’s own Battle Mania series, a pair of off-the-wall Mega Drive shooting games that defied adversity to establish themselves as VIC Tokai’s most beloved and sought-after titles.
...this also marks the first guest translation for shmuplations! Peter Barnard did the excellent work on this one, and I look forward to working again with him and other translators to keep things humming along into the future. I'd also like to give another shoutout to GSK, who has been generously & invaluably handling the publishing/formatting work for most of the recent interviews.

thanks alex. I proofed Battle Mania myself, but i did find a few more things after reading your comment. I spent a bit more time on the "polish" for Metal Slader Glory that was just posted, hopefully it's a smooth read!

I think guest translations could do with a quick QC tho, there was a number of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes in this. The translation itself was fine, but it could have just done with a quick polish.
