In dedication of XXXSEED Games and the WyrdWad KKK Witch era, we present Jeff "DeuceBag" Nussbaum in his own words:

Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Psycho Jeff is involving/attacking innocent families of neo-geo.com fans he wants to watch die AND help murder/kill [painfully]!! And I for one did *Nazi* see that coming! Remember how a defining part of the WyrdWad era (Tom-chan Lipschultz) was equating targets to Hitler/Nazis ? Isn't this rant by Jeff/Deuce a Nazi eugenicist speech ? The "superior" fat, bald, cocky cock-flasher says numerous people AND their offspring need to be exterminated/murdered for being inferior, who represent a "pollution" of the human gene pool... Sure sounds like a Nazi rant, am I wrong XSEED fans/shills ?? Looking at you, DigitalEmelas! I mean, if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, ya know ?? But what do I know right ? Everybody's ignoring it and other XSEED embarrassments... This vile psycho SOB got a pass for just about anything awful and toxic that he ever said/did (meanwhile my alleged "sins" can NEVER be forgiven according to him/Tom)!)! Worse, NIS America keeps on letting him poison the Ys series with his mere disgusting presence and questionable WWWJDIC-assisted translations!

This type of homicidal outburst by the "severely misanthropic, extremely arrogant, self-involved asshole" (100% HIS words!) wasn't the first either: when one of his bosses fired him (shock!), he not only wanted him dead but implied his kids must be as horribly ugly as he is! He didn't think anyone would read his blog, but like omgfloofy says, "Know your translator..." I was also added to his kill-list when I trolled him on Kotaku's KKK Witches article (he wants me to die by an acid bath and/or brain disease)... Another funny anecdote: while there are ambulance-chasers, Bankruptcy Jeff falls under the rare ambulance-crasher category, haha! Imagine being condemned, defamed, lied about by a complete psychotic mess of a manchild after massively cheating you who turns out was deflecting from deep mental problems & his own PR liabilities! This unhinged hypocrite bigoted bastard showing up from neo-geo.com in my forums/projects to get up on his high horse to smear me as an "embarrassment" had A LOT of fucking nerve! BURN IN HELL!!

Jeff and Tom are so arrogant/confident (you've seen it!) about their self-serving criminal views on localization partnerships and commercial selling AFTER you've taken THOUSANDS of work hours from fan co-workers on a project created under FAN TERMS (BY FANS, FOR FANS, NOT COMPANIES!), but WHY didn't they disclose such "views" from the very FIRST project ? Why after 5 projects/5 years ?? Didn't your partners have a fucking right to know something THAT serious/important ?? I'll tell you why: Because they would've been BANNED on sight! NOBODY would accept such terms, not me, not GideonZhi, not anyone; everyone would tell you to go fuck yourself and find another chump to work for free for you, so by failing to disclose them they operated under deception, that's a scam! Begging for free work hours from likeminded Falcom fans so you can build up a finished localization portfolio of up to 5 games/scripts, then commercially selling them in secret collusion almost all at once IS A SCAM! THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT THEY DID! 2 cocky/cunty localization scammers in the industry and 1 shitty company that got away with it! I didn't even wanna work on Ys Origin, I was gonna delete my site, but Jeff came to me crying, telling me "Please don't take the Ys series away from me, it's the only thing I'm proud of in my life..." Of course, he was *proud* to take it from *me* helping WyrdWad continue his obsessed sabotage/proxy-harassment/incitement efforts over the years! The psycho is not gonna tell you about that now NOR his 40%/60% royalty split demands which he was adamant on if I proceeded with a payware idea (which he cancelled after the $550 payment and for me being too slow as 2 years elapsed! So, he could still play the hero in the end!), and people see how he talks about me nowadays... He then proceeded to guilt me by telling me about his suicide-attempt and being crippled from a knee injury, walking with a cane, etc... I never did anything but support and help him across 8 years, even finally paying him ($550), in return he cheated me from a 1 in a billion opportunity, and demonized my name ever since to score points/pander, justify these later double-cross actions!!!

Recently in 2024, he cheated me again out of crediting for 1 week of labor on Samurai Shodown RPG, the BmpTileFlip tool I built for him (per his request) to mod an English font in (of course the guy that cheated you on THOUSANDS of work hours on Ys projects would cheat you for 7 days on this one!)! I remember falsely being accused of talking about the leaker in a DM (I just wanted to show him worldwide Ys patch installation logging!), I was NOT, but he pretended I was, said I had an "obsession" with him which was also false (It was his disgusting, reductionist compare/contrast habit where he'd write that he has an obsession with the Ys series, while "that other guy" has an obsession with the Ys leaker, so HE is the real Ys fan!). He was simply preparing me for the double-cross with WyrdWad's team and was gonna cite the leaker as a main reason, so his talking-point/tactic was gonna be to trump-up charges, smear me as spending "2 WHOLE YEARS" on him/the leak issue, etc. (No evidence for his insane psycho lies, he uses the passage of time to smear you, implying you did X Y or Z for "all these years..." as if I live inside a computer! Even this post I wrote, he'll literally subtract 2024 from 2007 when the Felghana leak happened and claim ~17 YEARS SPENT ON THIS, imply 365 days/year, 100,000 hours was spent/planned on writing something negative about him/XSEED, the poor little underdog angels that they are!!!). If I said the leaker's name once again, he'd pretend I said it 1000 times AND spent 100,000 work hours on him (somehow!), always in the direction of hyperbolic/trumped-up charges to an absurd/comical/insane degree because he was looking to break that Ys Origin agreement behind my back despite having taken more work hours and CAT translation software from me! You get the idea!

I guess the master plan worked out nicely ? Real fucking "hero" of the people, huh ?? There were better/sane/rational ways to cancel our Ys Origin agreement but he chose the worst, most vile way when I didn't even wanna work on the project to begin with! It's just that WyrdWad's team presented him with a plan B and he could throw me under the bus, walk away both with the $550 and gain some sort of "hero" status... Truly a vile fucking bastard, dragged me into it only to ruthlessly kick me out of it once he was sure he didn't need me anymore to finish the rest of the project... Of course nobody imagined WyrdWad would get hired by 2 former Squaresoft bosses just as they had gained a Falcom partnership, so because of Jeff's troll games before that, WyrdWad just copied the same double-cross idea/action. Jeff becoming the "secret translator" for WyrdWad's fan team, that idea was ported by WyrdWad for XSEED on ALL our past projects! And I had to be continuously demonized/blacklisted/shunned as "the worst person in the world" to justify it yet even today I don't really know what I did to these psychos to justify something so cruel/unjust/unfair/despicable! I couldn't be forgiven 3 or even 5 years later, they just kept on doing it!!! Who's the real embarrassment now though ?? Look at his neo-geo.com posts! Ys fans know if *I* wrote something like that WyrdWad Tom would list it as the #1 reason why I was unprofessional/embarrassing/a PR nightmare and to be avoided!!! But you know how it goes, all the XSEED allies will never say a word about it! Very few will ever know just how vile Jeff truly is as a human being!

It's one thing to have your [criminal] views, it's another thing to impose them on someone else without consent! If he (or Tom on the Ys Felghana project!) told me from the very first Ys fan project that he becomes the "100% master CEO/owner" of the translated script for potential/possible future commercial sales and I'd just be the uncredited "slave," (that's NOT a "partnership" despite him ONLY calling it that when he announced he "dissolved" it JUST IN TIME for secret sales to XSEED Games!!! AMAZING COINCIDENCE!!) I'd tell him to find someone else you motherfucker! Period. Never mind the sabotage/threat this represents to all other fan partnerships: producers like GideonZhi have to watch their backs from translators plotting secret sales to companies and using XSEED as a precedent to cut out all their partners! What if I had finished not 5, but 15 or 25 Falcom projects with Jeff, and each time he's sneaking into my CAT translation software exporting a finished Falcom script, pocketing 100% credit/100% payment, year after year, and STILL ghosting me like I never existed ??? WHAT THEN ??? At what point do even the most dedicated XSEED shills like Limfinite/DigitalEmelas recognize this as massive worker abuse ?? Tom/Jeff keep on telling the world they did nothing wrong, right ?? And whether 5 or 50 finished projects involving my free fan labor was involved, Jeff was "free" to keep on making these commercial sales without my consent/negiotiation/involvement, right ??? HOW INSANE IS THAT ??? And yet, these are REAL people who stand by this, STILL unrepentant, STILL won't apologize for it, and worse, STILL spreading lies/misinformation about their victim and the situation! If you finally realized these homicidal psychos/pedo-predators didn't think it through and all the possible ramifications/consequences, then you'd be correct! They didn't! Tom-chan just needed that sweet revenge, that's ALL that mattered to that particular DISGUSTING SOB! He could've let XSEED continue with normal contractors, but nope, I had to be targeted in some way AGAIN!!!! I do wonder if in their heads it still feels "good" or not but you'll never get a straight answer from a psycho liar...

So...I finally figured out why all of XSEED/WyrdWad's friends can be credited for just about anything (including Ys Celceta DVD piracy) but I cannot (they have VERY high standards for people of good/moral character/reputation, you see):
While you are NOT credit-worthy, bold/bald/fat homicidal cock-flashers & wyrdwad pedophiles ARE 'acceptable' for being credited on XSEED Games' localizations...

XyZ - A Tribute to the Xak, Ys and Zelda Series
« on: May. 22, 2006, 02:18:28 AM »
I've been working on developing a new site concept in the last couple of weeks, but I didn't want to drop a link to it before I had something to show. This was originally intended to be strictly a Xak series fansite but along the way I turned my thoughts on making the site a bit of a broader spectrum by including the Ys series and Zelda series.

I am hoping that I can successfully tie the three games together with the theme of not only the similarity of genre, but also the similarity concerning one constant hero moving from one chapter to the next in his ongoing saga that is so epic that the story is retold again and again and updated over time. I think that this "could" be a great way to connect the three series and hopefully turn fans of one particular series onto the next.

I'm aiming for it to grab Zelda fans and turn them over to the Ys series and for the Ys fans to find their way into the Xak series, but oddly enough this could work in reverse as well. While working closely with the translator of the original MSX Xak 1 game, he has really enjoyed the Xak series and Ys series, but never really got into the Zelda series and now after visiting the site, he thinks it is time he tried playing the Zelda series since he didn't originally take to it in the beginning and never really followed up with it.

Mostly I want this to be a Xak series information megasite, with a bit of Ys information and Zelda information here and there. I don't really need to focus as much on expanding the Ys and Zelda sections as much as the Xak section since there are already pretty decent Zelda and Ys sites that I couldn't hope to surpass to begin with. But there are not a whole lot of Xak sites out there. Besides Nightwolve's Xak III shrine and a Japanese Fray/Xak site called Flamebird, that's really about it.

Good luck on your site !
Nice pic with the three main characters. (the XyZ logo is nice too)
Maybe you should give a bigger link, for a moment I thought your site was accessible only through the banner in your sign (and was nowhere to be found).

Thanks for your comments. I had fun creating those images and  I'm still working on th site as I go along so new stuff will be added over time. I still need to finish all the different versions of the Xak games as well so that I can improve what is already there at the site information-wise. Right now I'm still stuck near the end of the game in Xak II. : (

Looks like a nice start.

My only complain would be the text "A Tribute Site to the Xak, Ys, and Zelda Series" in the logo. The font is kinda messy IMHO, and I can't recognize the word "Ys" from there - looks more like an ink blot to me.

Other than that, it looks pretty good already. Good luck with the site, SkyeWelse. :)

Thanks. I'll have to think about changing that sometime. I always kind of liked the font in how weird or exotic it looked, but your right in that it is kind of hard to read the word "Ys" in there. Maybe after I get some more stuff done on the site I can touch it up a bit. Thanks for the critique, it helps me improve it. ^^

Did you check his site? The PCE versions of Xak I-III are ports! The Xak-series didn't originate on the PCE at all.

DVDs are for suckers. Illegally pirated and stolen videos all the way. No menus. No "DO NOT PIRATE THIS!" screens. No fuss. Only perfection. I honestly only pirate movies because that "don't pirate this" screen annoys me. :wink:

Indeed, it's AV time. Check out: ! Sir, the door was open.

Thanks for checking it out everyone. : )

Yeah the Xak series kind of ended with the PC-Engine back in 1994. I believe the series was originally meant to be a trilogy... with some added side adventures in there of course, bringing the total of different Xak games (without counting Tower of Cabin) to 5 that have multiple versions and various updated ports. In talking with the translator of the first game who is also a big fan of this series, he mentioned that Xak III: The Eternal Recurrence was originally going to be for the MSX system, but it was scrapped. Eventuallly Microcabin released it on the NEC PC-9801 and Fujitsu FM-Towns computers and then on to the NEC PC-Engine in '94.

It really is a shame that no new ports with updated graphics have been made. I'm not real sure if Microcabin still around anymore as a developer. If they are they have been very quiet. I do know that they've made a version of Xak I The Art of Visual Stage for mobile phones in Japan which would place it probably within the last 4-5 years, but aside from that no news about this series being re-released.

Oh and there is apparently a Fray In Magical Adventure game for the Sega Game Gear, but as I've not been able to find it anywhere, it may not be true. Gamefaqs and one other Japanese Game Gear list states that it is real however.

I remember seeing a screen shot or 2 of Fray in an old Sega mag I used to buy and a mailorder site I am using here in Japan does indeed list Fray for the GG but as can be expected it has a huge "premium" price  :-[ 

I love the Xak site you have (shame there are no FM Towns versions for Dl though, DAMN that system's games are hard to find!) but just 2 notes.  You have listed all versions of Xak games for the PC-E as being made by Riot which is incorrect.  Xak III was made by NEC Home Electronics (I am not sure if it was co-developed by Microcabin or not though) and Fray CD was made and published by Microcabin themselves.

I think it is a great shame that Microcabin never made remakes for the Saturn and I think it's a shame they aren't really around anymore as I really enjoyed their games, especially Sword & Sorcery on the Saturn.

Thanks for checking it out Game_Hunter and I'm glad you like it. There is always more content being added as I can find the time to add more Xak stuff. Recently there have been a great deal of extra content submissions that are being implemented into the site that will hopefully expand it a bit more. The ultimate goal of all of this mainly is to generate more interest in the series so that perhaps more of the Xak games can be translated, but now it looks like the soundtracks will be made available soon enough, so perhaps that will give people a bit more access for "rare game music" to do a video game remix to. There is also a project to display the artwork of the Xak series, the overall Geography of the games, and even an English scanlation of the Xak manga at some point.

As for the FM-Towns versions, I need to update the page with a bit more information sometime, but if I recall correctly there are two Xak games that were released for FM-Towns: Xak II and Xak III. The Xak III FM-Towns is something that will eventually get uploaded, but I'm still waiting to receive it.

Perhaps you're right about that statement about the PC-Engine versions being developed by Riot being incorrect. I think you are definitely right about Fray CD, however I believe Riot is a subsidary of NEC Home Electronics. Perhaps I should phrase it a bit differently on the next site update.

Thanks for checking it out! I'm also hoping to put together a Xak series Wikipedia article at some point, though the Xak projects have been kind of a slow process lately since I've been busy with college stuff and moving to a new apartment.

Sorry it took me so long to post a reply.

Edit: I wish I could find that version of Fray for Gamegear. I've been searching for it forever it seems now. I'd even think about ordering it sometime if I could find it reasonably priced.

Actually Riot was one of the Nihon Telenet subsidaries,  I think it was LaserSoft and later changed it's name to Riot as the original Cosmic Fantasy games were by LaserSoft and the Mega-CD compilation is Riot, same as the Valis series, the CD-ROMROM versions were LaserSoft and the remake of the original is Riot. 

I own the original's of Xak III and Fray CD but as they are at home in Australia and I am in Japan, I can't double check the Xak III game case to see if there is any indication of Microcabin working on the PC Engine version although it seems highly likely as it and the 68000 versions are so identical.  As far as I remember though (maybe someone else with the game can check), it said "1994 Microcabin, 1994 NEC Home Electronics"

Good luck with finding GG Fray, I can't even find a damn rom of the game and the site that I mentioned before that listed it as in stock is charging about 25,000 yen for it....

Hey SkyeWelse, I noticed you've got an obselete Xak III link of mine so I thought I'd mention it - It died when I terminated my service with my old ISP.

Anyway, on here:

http://gameflaws.com/xyz/links.htm

Your first link there for "Nightwolve's Xak III Shrine and Translation Patch Information" needs to change either to https://www.ysutopia.net/translations/xakiii/ or https://www.ysutopia.net/translations/xak3/

The 'iii' is the full shrine one and the '3' is a standard project page meant to conform to all my other project pages. Whichever one you wanna use is fine.

P.S.

Very nice Links page. It was fun seeing screenshots from all those NES/SNES RPG games of yesteryear I enjoyed in my boyhood.

Ah, thanks. I didn't realize that when your old IP died it altered the links. I'll make sure to update the link information in the next site update.

Glad you liked the links page and thanks for checking it out. It will get a lot bigger soon as I have the time to try and add more games to it, but I need to figure out a better way to categorize them and display them from what they currently look like now. The look could definitely use some improvement. If only time grew on trees, along with money... then I'd be set. ^_^ Perhaps after we move into the new apartment that page can get the update it needs.
