For Europe: How about ExciteBots, Trauma Team.. Are there other games that never left the US?

Arc Rise Fantasia, but that about sums it up. Of these three, Excitebots isn't even interesting. There's just the usual phenomenon that games that don't get released in certain regions suddenly get treated as if they were AAA titles.

have you played it? It's REALLY FUN!

Club Nintendo Japan even did this weird thing where it was available to a select few (don't remember if you had to get platinum status or if it just cost a lot of stars), and for some reason they bothered to include an online mode for the couple thousand that got the game in this manner.

Made me think they were preparing for localization in Japan but AFAIK it never happened.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

Was hoping for some wii u news, but it made sense to promote the 3ds on the launch day of the psvita.

I hope the new Brain Training will work wonders with the sales again. It did amazing last time. ^o^

It's sold at Club Nintendo for 1000 points.

Thanks for the info!

don't you find it odd that not only would they go through the trouble of localization but even go as far as host free multiplayer for such a tiny userbase?

I personally find that very odd.

Why a Project Zero 2 port but not Project Zero 4, the one people asking for.

Simple, really. If there are indeed long term plans for the franchise in the west then it's best to create as good a first impression as possible for any new fans.

FF2 is still considered the best in the series, while 4 is a buggy mess that no one is willing to clean up.

... and long term plans could mean a PZ4 WiiU remake or a sparkling new title.

I've heard good things (even from my sister) about the series but still have yet to try it. So it's going to be great to experience it at its best.
