The director of the cult classic SEGAGAGA, Tetsu "Tez" Okano, is encouraging developers to create their own versions and has even offered help with translation.

Okano expressed his support by tweeting: ‘If SEGAGAGA has a unique significance, it is that it was made on a budget that is a hundredth of Shenmue's, and from nothing but ideas...Please everyone, please make your own SEGAGAGA!'

Okano also replied to a question about localization: 'if someone wants to talk business with Sega formally, we'll help translate as much as we can here!'


Would a fully localized English version of SEGAGAGA increase your interest in playing this Dreamcast gem?

This isn't quite "white whale" territory, but I've always wanted to play this game.

I miss the creative, quirky Dreamcast era and this seemed like one of the best, unfortunately region-locked, examples.
