Shikigami no Shiro II - Developer Interview (Patreon)

https://shmuplations.com/shikigami2/

This Shikigami no Shiro II interview originally appeared in the Official Setting Materials book published by Famitsu in 2003. It largely focuses on the new characters Roger Sasuke and Niigi G.B., while also taking a close look at the boss and stage design. The Shikigami series is (in)famous in the West for a butchered "localization" (Mobile Light Force 2), and while this interview does not go into that saga, it does help explain the series' broad appeal in Japan.

Looks like I spoke too soon about getting back to those regular updates--we'll have a couple more interviews (including more shmups) to share over the next week though!
