Incredibly, I think this version has a better chance of being released in the west than the DS version... because the 3DS. They're not going to go through all the trouble of translating a huge game for an old system...

What if they decide that Ninokuni will not be released on DS anymore but turned into a 3DS game instead? Just an idea I had when the 3DS lineup was shown at E3. I think Ninokuni would be a great addition to the early 3DS lineup and a new system would be perfect to start this new franchise which has a huge sales potential in Japan (as well as a good one in EU/NA imo).


I don't think so. This is a guaranteed 2 million seller (maybe more!) on the DS in japan. It'll do no good to port an almost complete game (the biggest ever for DS too) to sell less than that on 3DS. It's going to be expensive and it's going to sell less, so it's a loss loss situation.

And they won't port it for 3DS for west release too, since it's going to sell preety low there.

I'm not a fan of waiting for games for years but with this one we'll be lucky if it's fan-translated in the nezt 5 years (mother 3 took about that!), since it's a miracle now for me for it to be released here.
