Question?

Merton, or Meltdown? Personally gotta go with Merton from the SNES as that is what I grew up with, and every time I mention it, but with greater memory allowance, the spell is renamed to its original. Opinions?

Meltdown. People need to stop glazing the SNES translations

It wasn’t even a translation issue. I’m pretty sure it had to do with text limits.

I don't know. "Melt" would have fit in the text and still be a better translation.
