AuraTranslation

AuraTranslation was an American videogame translation company operated as a joint-venture between Aura Games and Bandai Namco Entertainment. The company was founded on December 12th, 2018 and will focus on translating games from Bandai Japan, mostly WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color games, for release on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch systems.

The company currently has the exclusive North American translation rights to all WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color games that were published by Bandai. The company's first licensed titles were released digitally on the Nintendo eShop in February 2019. Due to the translation for Kosodate Quiz Dokodemo My Angel going slower than expected, no new translated games from the company would be released in July 2019. On July 30th, 2019, AuraTranslation announced that it would try to license or rescue-license Game Gear, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games that haven't already been re-released digitally for re-release on the Virtual Console. This motive would make AuraTranslation's first venture outside of translating WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color games, though Nintendo-published and certain Sega-published games are specifically excluded from rescue-licensing due to rights issues.

In May 2020, it was noted that some translations were being delayed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that releases would continue beginning in August 2020.

On May 22nd, 2020, it was announced that Bandai USA had transferred its stake in the company to Bandai Namco Entertainment. Following the release of Rainbow Islands: Putty's Party, which was also slated to be the final game published by AuraTranslation to be released for the Nintendo 3DS, the division went dormant. It was subsequently announced on June 14th, 2022 that AuraTranslation would be folded into Aura Games effective in 2023 and its licenses would transfer to Aura Games and Bandai Namco Entertainment proper, due to the Nintendo 3DS' eShop shutting down and a lack of new translations AuraTranslation announced.
