Welcome to shmuplations.com!
shmuplations.com is a repository of Japanese game developer translations, covering primarily (but not exclusively) older arcade and console games from the 80s and 90s. Despite the name “shmuplations”, I cover all genres: platformers, rpgs, strategy, vs fighting, and more.
If you enjoy my work, please support shmuplations on patreon!
Look at all the hidden treasure just waiting to be translated! ;)

Here's the link for the games that are already translated to the list. And the other link for the commission game translation list.

Another similar webiste is "Legends of Localization", which covers the differences between the Japanese and English version of various games, and give us some hinsight within the procces of localization.
