Moon developer credits Undertale's Toby Fox with making the game's Western release possible

Moon may have released for the Playstation back in 1997, but that was only in Japan. Over 20 years later, the game has finally seen a localization via the Switch. This would have never happened, if not for some motivation from Undertale creator, Toby Fox.

In an interview with VICE, Moon scenario writer and designer Yoshiro Kimura said it was Fox who pushed him to bring the game to the West.

“We’re from different generations, but I love talking with [Fox] and respect him as a fellow creator and friend. After [we were interviewed together], Toby and I went and got coffee together near the train station and he asked me why I didn’t release Moon worldwide. I told him there was no way I could, but thinking back, that was the first push that got me thinking, ‘Why am I giving up? I could do this if I wanted to.’ Localizing Moon so he could play it became really good motivation for me. So, thank you, Toby!”
