  Princess Crown looks beautiful. How have I never heard of th-<br>&quot;Sega Saturn&quot;<br>That explains it.

  Princess Crown got an English translation by the mod community if anyone is interested...after this documentary I was curious about vanillaware and looked up these hidden gems and found out they just dropped a fully translated mod. Awesome documentary btw!!!

  “Princess Crown is the greatest game on the Sega Saturn, and while that may be a lie, I felt joy saying it making it true and beautiful anyway.” <br>A+ line, perfect review

  My favorite thing about this channel is that every six months or so I get to see my new favorite KBash video.

  My introduction to Vanillaware was 13 sentinels. &nbsp;From jump it felt like the game was built different. &nbsp;The aesthetic was peak, the combat niche, the story split among 13 protagonists and some of the most unique story telling I&apos;ve ever experienced. &nbsp;<br><br>The game wasnt out to be a worldwide hit, it was made vision first, executed sublimely and sent out to exist on its own merits. <br><br>The second I finished 13 sentinels I picked up Odin sphere. &nbsp;Similar energy.<br><br>The games industry doesn&apos;t deserve Vanillaware and I hope they&apos;re here for many years to come

  The fact that Princess Crown doesn’t have an english patch to this day is a travesty. We’ve managed to make one for Sakura Wars but not for this?! Come on…

  The Dragon&apos;s Crown controversy was really really really stupid.

  I feel like I instantly understood everything more when my heart skipped a beat at the prospect of a &quot;Princess Crown 4&quot;

  &quot;This is the first part of a 2-part series covering Vanillaware&quot; YOOOOOOOOOOO instant-subscribe. I&apos;m looking forward to the video and am so happy this showed up on my feed. I adore Vanillaware&apos;s titles and exactly as you put it is the perfect way to describe them -- decadent.<br><br>I&apos;m also going to need to figure out how to get Princess Crown going, because that game looks fantastic.

  The memes about Vanillaware really do overshadow all the brilliance that they bring to the table. Looking forward to their new game AND the second part of this ;)<br>(Also, when you paused to literally cook, I then had to pause the video and make my own pasta. Bro wasn&apos;t lying about eating being one of the 3 needs.)

  Your mentioning of fantasy artists brings to mind of my mom&apos;s old fantasy book covers, and one of her favorite pair of artits, Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. They&apos;re a married pair that have made absolutely mesmerizing pieces over the years. They have an annual calendar that my brother and I buy for her every year for her collection, and she has been collecting them for long before we were born. So, I grew up seeing that art, and was always fascinated by how ethereal and gorgeous the figures in the images were. I&apos;ve always had issues with body image, and still do in rough times, but I&apos;ve always looked to inspired pieces like their work, and in the stuff you&apos;re covering with Vanillaware, and it helps me to get more comfortable with how my body is. Am I as bodacious as some of the women in these art styles? Totally not! But I can still see the beauty in those pieces, and in myself knowing that I&apos;m just as beautiful in my own way. So, thank you for highlighting that with your talk throughout the video, and I&apos;ll be looking forward to the second part like I do with each new release!
