| jetforcejiminy said: why would they take 2+ years to localize a game that's a proven seller? that's what happened with xenoblade, they waited two years and then they saw that that would sell better in the west than in japan even. now xenoblade x is launching in the west within a few months of its japanese release. same with bravely second. that hardly seems to me to be much of a stretch... also, the break they took was called releasing a new console (gba to ds). but in recent memory? no break whatsoever. diamond and pearl (2007), platinum (2009), heartgold and soulsilver (2010), black and white (2011), black 2 and white 2 (2012), x and y (2013), omega ruby and alpha saphire (2014), ... they haven't taken a break since 2008. and they've been rewarded for annualization with consistently excellent sales. no way are they skipping an enhanced remake of x and y this year. as for announcing fire emblem before other games this year... this is the company that announced shin megami tensei x fire emblem in january of 2013 and we have yet to see it. they just like to open big and close big. |
Why ask me why Nintendo does dumb things, though in this case it's not all their fault as Square Enix should be the ones getting it localized. Regardless I don't think we've had any word on it's localization or that it's even been confirmed for the west which isn't a good sign for a 2015 releaseat this point.
