So, just because Nintendo had 3 Japanese Directs for this game three months before its release, some of you are now assuming that the same "logic" will happen for NA, right? Just to know, when was the last time Nintendo released one of its major titles in July/August?

More on topic, it's a shame that this is NA only. Shibata, I hope your guys are working hard on the translation of this game!

The game is already finished. what's so surprising about getting released soon after japan?

Because localization isnt something you can just put together in a couple months.  This is a huge game and will have a ton of text and voicework And who knows what else that will need to be redone.  Localizing it is a pretty huge undertaking...

that being said, they could have been smart about it and been working on it concurrently with the japanese version.  So it is possible... But considering that monolith software isnt very big, I think it is pretty improbable that would split their resources like that...
