Theory: NoA won't publish M games

That may be true, but it's very unfortunate.  Regardless if the game is Nintendo branded or not, the M rating will be clearly legible on the box.  They're letting parents off the hook if this truly is the case.

But really, Nintendo says it's Tecmo's IP and Tecmo says it's up to Nintendo to publish it.  Clearly someone is wrong here.

yea, Reggie said that it is up to Tecmo, and Tecmo said it is up to Nintendo. Obviously there are some communication problems going on somewhere.

 

 

Sounds like someone needs to own up. From what the Tecmo rep said, it sounds like Nintendo owns the publishing rights but refuses to publish it and refuses to allow someone else to do it. We'll see if that's true, as it seems wierd that Tecmo would want to withhold this game from NA.

edit: Maybe reggie is telling the truth, and so it tecmo. Does NCL hold the rights?
