“There’s definitely a smaller active JRPG fanbase now than when Working Designs was around, but I’d like to think that was due to a combination of that fanbase aging,” says Ireland.

Arc the Lad and Alundra, two hard to find PsOne RPGs are easy to purchase now, but bringing both games to PlayStation Network took a year of effort from MonkeyPaw.

ESRB leaks confirm Arc the Lad II and Arc Arena Monster Tournament for re-release on PlayStation Network.

It’s official. Alundra and Arc the Lad will be released as PlayStation Network downloads soon. And, by soon we mean October 12 for $5.99 each.

Alundra and Arc the Lad are just the beginning. Gaijinworks founder Vic Ireland confirmed both titles and said more are coming.

In true Working Designs spirit, Vic Ireland partially announced a swag filled promotion for the Virtual Console version of Blaster Master.

Cosmic Fantasy, Valis, Exile, and every intellectual property created by Nihon Telenet made before the studio closed down is now in the hands of Sunsoft.

Gaijinworks head honcho Vic Ireland is teasing a big announcement related to the Sunsoft revival.

Sunsoft, the company that brought you Blaster Master, Albert Odyssey, and Aero the Acro-bat, is re-entering the video game publishing biz.

I ran into Vic Ireland, previously President of Working Designs and now President Gaijinworks, who revealed a scrapped Guitar Freaks localization to Siliconera. Before that topic came up I asked Ireland about his new company, Gaijinworks.

Miami Law is part Miami Vice, part visual novel, and it’s made in Japan. Gaijinworks, Vic Ireland’s studio, is localizing the “TV ready storyline”, according to Hudson, as their first project.
