Episode 119: Translating Nakoruru with Derek Pascarella

The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod

Regular host Lewis catches up with Dreamcast community stalwart Derek Pascarella to discuss the fan translation of the Japanese-exclusive Dreamcast title Nakoruru: The Gift she Gave Me they worked on together. A spin-off visual novel from SNK's Samurai Shodown fighting series, Nakoruru took almost two years for Derek and the team to translate, and is the first official visual novel on the Dreamcast to receive an English fan translation.
Derek also appeared on episode 93 of the DreamPod.
