I wonder why they never released this game in North America. I probably would have bought it-- it was a really fun game in the arcade. It probably could have done quite well. It seems like it might be too late to release this game now, especially with the dying down of the music game craze and the over-saturation of drum related Guitar Hero and Rock Band peripherals.

I think one of the DS versions would be a safer litmus test, but then Namco seems allergic to localizing DS games.

I agree the Wii game could've done well last year (especially with Mario music) but it may be too late now...
