Covering perhaps the last true handheld console, technically Muramasa is a port from the Wii, but I feel like it's most well known for the definite PS Vita edition.

Even if it's never going to get an official English translation, we are very lucky to have the folks at Fobby/Starmen.net provide a fan translation. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anywhere to legally … Continue reading Episode 147: Mother 3
