Dragon Quest is well known IP even in the west no matter how you put it. DQ VIII has 630k sales in NA alone and Monster Hunter is established IP with a plenty of recognition (not many people buy it but a lot of gamers heard about it)

But after DQ VIII, how many DQ games had similar success? Also DQ VIII did have the FF XII demo. MH is recognized but so what? That doesn't automatically translate to big sales...look at Tales for example. MH3 was marketed right and so it sold more than other MHs over here.

But if you really want to continue with your argument, then I'd say there's a good amount of people who've heard of TLS (just look at that petition, like 10k plus signatures) and Sakaguchi. Also TLS would offer something different than what's usually offered, and it has a Western flair from the gameplay, design, an the graphics. Again, it all depends on how well it's marketed. There's more potential for TLS to succeed elsewhere than in Japan.

Your argument was the same for Zangeki no Reginleiv about it having online co-op, the graphics, WM plus enabled, etc. You were so sure about it's Western release that we even made a bet about it remember? You were arguinng that Sandlot games were good sellers in the West. I think no game is a given anymore from Nintendo. The most likely scenario is that none of the games that aren't big known IP's or Wii series will come to the US. The list has grown bigger since our last argument, it will only favor me.
