Judging from the latest update from the VC3 translation project team, their translation appears to be almost ready for release. A big thanks goes out to the people that invested their time in this project. If we can’t convince Sega to localize the game, it seems we’ll at least get an unofficial translation for it.
This is somewhat unrelated news to our own campaign given how it’s not about a game in need of localization, but rather in need of development. That said, Segalization is all about different Sega fan communities working together, so it makes sense for us to look into other campaigns related to Sega games as well. In what I personally find to be a good move, Team Yu changed their #GiveYuTheShenmueLicense …read more
Segalization now has their very own forums! While most of the discussion about games nowadays has moved to social media like Facebook and Twitter, forums still provide the best place to really have a more in-depth discussion. We included subforums for every game featured on this thread, as well as one for general discussion about Segalization and one for discussion about other games. There’s a new menu that links to …read more

It might seem odd that I’m posting Nintendo related news here, but Nintendo’s Reggie made an interesting comment in a recent interview with Siliconera that may be worth mentioning here. Going off of that, how much do what fans want or say influence your decisions? [Operation Moonfall and Operation Rainfall are cited as examples here.] I have to tell you—it doesn’t affect what we do. We certainly look at it, …read more
Siliconera posted a new Famitsu interview with the new President of Index Corporation, Sega-Sammy’s COO Naoya Tsurumi. In the interview, Tsurumi assured fans that Sega would not interfere with Index’s usual business, but also mentioned that Index (and therefore Atlus) would be free to use Sega’s resources and even dormant IP. That’s good news, but the following quote from Tsurumi regarding the many Atlus fans out there is rather interesting: …read more
As promised, we’re now ready to reveal our petition! We’ve decided to use change.org for the petition, as it’s a proven platform that has already been used for various other successful petitions in the past. Like we explained in the previous news post, Segalization isn’t just looking to start a campaign for one specific game. We also don’t intend to replace any existing campaign either. Rather, we hope to bring …read more
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for the interest shown in the website so far. We’ve reached out to various Sega fan communities and the response has been very positive. Despite how long some of the games featured here have been waiting for a localization, we feel there’s renewed enthusiasm now surrounding the recent comments from the people at Sony. If there’s ever been a time to try …read more
This is the first news post of hopefully many more to come. We currently have what is more or less the framework for the website. As you can read in the About page, this website aims to serve as a hub for the many fan campaigns out there that all share a similar goal: getting Sega to localize their games. With work to be done on the articles and a …read more
