Oh and the game has been in development since late 2014, for those wondering how it is coming out so soon.  They've changed their localization process too to eliminate the long localization wait.

When did they say this? I missed that. 

Man, the wait for XCX to be localized was frigging torture. 9 freaking months. I could've had a baby in that time!

It was stated in an interview and I think discussed during the stream, I think.  But here's the quote:

“We’re really building [the game] as we’re in discussion,” said Yokota. “Whereas for the past title, the Japanese version had already been pretty much close to completion when this [localization] discussion started.”

So they are localizing while creating the game, not finishing it and then localizing afterwards.
