Not related to shmuplations but I still think it belongs here. It's a short V-Jump interview explaining how Tetsuo Hara, the artist for FOTNS, got involved with the Muscle Bomber/Slam Masters series.

The reason why I'm posting this here is because at the end you can read the following:

In this case "plug" is used as a way to say you're self-promoting your social media and/or merchandise. So yeah, I think this is supposed to be shmuplations.
EDIT: then again, @gosokkyu could be using the slan term "plug" incorrectly and they (@gosokkyu and shmuplations) are two different people. Who knows?

I've heard about it. Blackoak said that he'll translate those that isn't in his list, if someone vote and provide him a link to a Japanese interview.
I would like to, but the ones' I'm interested to vote for are FFX, Summer of Street Fighter II, Breath of Fire III, Yuji Naka X Kan Naitou X Yu Suzuki & ICO. Other voters chose Yuji Naka X Kan Naitou X Yu Suzuki & ICO to translate, but I'm more interested in FFX. However, I got a feeling it won't get picked. But I won't stop till FFX gets picked. It is FFX 20th anniversary, plus FFIV 30th anniversary (I need to vote for it at some point).

Thanks. I've tweeted it to him, but he's not interested in that link. Likely because that site already used that same link, before. Maybe that's the reason.
