There have been some interesting interviews with Ryuichi Nishizawa of Westone lately.

Most exciting is that the source code to an unreleased arcade game of theirs has been found. It's called Tokei Jikake no Aquario ("Aquario of the Clockwork").

Awesome interviews, thanks for posting these! We should have a kickstarter to get MWIV released in english as a cartridge. Should't be to hard since the rom is now translated!

I thought there would be way more interest for this on a Genesis forum.

Your Hardcore Gaming link is broken (for me): this works, though http://hardcoregaming101.net/wonderb...-interview.htm.

So, this game has been submitted to M2. Things are looking good for a commercial release happening.

I read that interview a few weeks ago. He seemed like a really cool guy, much more open and enthusiastic than you're typical Japanese game developer interview. I also think it's cool that he kept the disk and program info on the game and is trying to get it released
. This just isn't something that happens normally happens, and I've got a much greater appreciation for Westone and the people involved because of it. Kudos to hardcoregaming101 too (my other favorite gaming site). They really kicked ass with this one.
