Or there really is for D:DoC. My thoughts is some disaster with the development of the game where they spent 2 or 3x as much money as they were supposed to. Thus Nintendo put them on a timeframe and said have it ready by such and such because we are cutting off funds. Still looks pretty polished considering. Thus they are doing an under the belt release for Japan and Europe because they don't want to spend money on marketing. They've lost enough money on it and just want to see what they can recover. Thus an American release will only happen if the title does well elsewhere to see if they can get some profit out of it. Which is why I would love to know what happened in development to have such a meltdown like this. As for FF4 it'll probably come along but as someone said probably delayed a little due to the Tecom/KOEI merger. |
How much does it cost to release a game in a region? I didn't think it was too expensive. Even if it sells less than 100k copies, that couldn't be more than the cost to bring it over. I can see marketing driving costs up, but I think the crowd it appeals to would find out about it with a minimal amount of advertising.
I need Homebrew for Tatsunoko anyways, so I'm not too upset about this. It would be nice not to have to go through the hassle though.
