FAKKU to partner with FairyTale to release 150+ PC-98 games in English on modern systems
I just attended the FAKKU panel at this year's Anime Expo and CEO Jacob Grady announced that they received permission from FairyTale to translate and port their entire catalog of 150+ games to modern systems (seemingly via Steam). In addition, FairyTale will be able to re-release these ports to the Japanese market as well.
He announced the first ten games which include: Dracula Hakushaku, Dead of the Brain, Dead of the Brain 2, Dengeki Nurse, Marine Philt, Necronomicon, Shinjuku Monogatari, Welcome to Pia Carrot!!, and two others I unfortunately cannot remember. They will be working with the fan translation group WINE for Dead of the Brain, Dead of the Brain 2, and Dengeki Nurse which is currently available to wishlist on Steam. No timeline was given for their release, however. Either way, it seems like a really big moment for the PC-98 community and for the general preservation of these games.
