Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo publishing Samurai Warriors in the West

Seems a bridge too far to me. Nintendo doing it as a gesture to third parties and nothing else. If the game couldn't even hit it off in it's home country, why should it here? Making Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest popular in the West will be a challenge, making Samurai Warriors popular will be a whole lot more difficult.

I could not agree more.

And I'll add that I find it personally frustrating to see Nintendo expend resources promoting games like this when there are so many Nintendo-published games that they aren't bothering to localize for the West. I'd much rather see Another Code: R, The Last Window or Zangeki make it over than another generic Koei action game.

This.

Looks like Nintendo is trying too hard to convince 3rd party devs, but it's not working. Why help them instead of helping their own games? Let the 3rd party devs swallow their own failures if they don't want to put any effort. Look what Nintendo got for helping Capcom with MH3, a MHP3 announcement a month before MH3 is released.

I really question the extent to which Ninty will promote this game though. I agree with you guys for the most part, but this could be a situation like Glory of Heracles where they publish the game in the states, but do not really advertise it.

Plus, since members of the Tecmo team are working on Metroid: Other M, Nintendo might've had to do this as a favor of sorts. I don't think Ninty will just do this out of the goodness of their hearts unless they expect something else from Tecmo.

As for MHP3, we all could have seen that coming, but it does not change how Capcom supports Ninty. It isn't like it is the actual Monster Hunter Tri, nor is it for another home console.

Maybe - JUST MAYBE - Nintendo isn't trying too hard, and is in fact maintaining the relationship which has brought other Tecmo titles such as "PangYa! Golf With Style" to PAL regions (they published it), got Grasshopper Manufacture involved with Zero: Gesshoku no Kamen, and will soon bring us Metroid: Other M.

It'll mean they'll be handling localization. And if localization was a small thing, America would have Fatal Frame IV and Disaster: DoC by now. Even Nintendo is limited by their resources.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Well, as long as Carl Winslow is in it, I'm in ;)

Seriously though, this is pretty cool, I was hoping this would come over.

Now that you mention it, Nintendo is now helping Tecmo Koei with Samurai Warriors 3, but what the hell happened with Fatal Frame IV!?

 

NoA not releasing Disaster doesn't make any sense. I mean, it's already localized!

Didn't Reggie say that the writing and dialogue sucked though, or something to that extent. I think they'd redo the localization with that one if they were to ever release it, otherwise they'd see tiny sales like in the EU.

 

It probably needs fixing in more than just localization though.

Uh, it's cheesy as hell but that's part of the game

If they fixed the car controls in an American release then I would probably buy the game again. Those were close to broken.

Nobody bought the game, so obviously it didn't work as intended.

Oh god, there goes all my hopes and dreams of English Reginliev. ;_;

 

On the positive side, they're actually adding online play for the US version (kinda a big deal, likely means JP rerelease imo) and Nintendo publishing probably kills any chance of HD ports this year.  Capcom must be pissed too, now they'll have to add online to Basara 3 Wii (lol).
