I'm pretty sure they need to put that there so all grounds of CopyRight are covered.

Who knows?  lol

It was for PS2, actually. And it came out quite in the end of its lifetime. It was developed by monolith also, but on a time when it was not a first party studio.

So, not saying it'll come west, but it has much better chances of coming than NxC ever did. In fact, I think it'll come for sure.

Senran Kagura Burst, forget it... zero chances.

Actually, it sold even better than that- 70 k or so

But this one releasing in august is not a new game, it's just an updated version of the first one.

Sorry, I thought I wrote 150k! I'm going by VGC's numbers.

You're on the platform. I'm not sure why I thought DS, but you are 100% correct. Developer has nothing to do with it though. It's a licensing nightmare which is why we don't get the Super Robot Taisen games over (just a few OGs).

I think it's highly unlikely at best. I don't think you can it anything at this point a sure thing. Ciel no Surge for the Vita has a higher chance of coming over and that's part visual novel.

On that note, I think we have a higher chance of getting Burst. Look at God Eater (PSP action game similar to Monster Hunter). We didn't get the original version, but we they released an updated version, we ended up getting Gods Eater Burst here in the US.

I don't really follow how VGchartz gets this numbers, tbh... the thing left famitsu top 30 less than a year ago with 70k... and here they say the game sold more after that than it did before leaving... even with a FW of 52k and no apparent legs... no, just no. But this "burst" version is pure profit, so I guess 25k is good enough for it! Maybe it'll do even better.

Anyway,

Not entirely new, but newish

Yeah, but differently than Robot Wars, all these games are videogame characters with highly experienced publishing offices around the world. In the end, it's not a publishing nightmare... it's just 3 companies. This is not, for example, Jump Super Stars... where every character has a different licenser. All of them belongs to either Capcom, Sega or Namco.

Second, a lot of those characters are pretty popular internationally. You don't see many Gundam fans in the west... let alone all those other obscure franchises (to us) that crowd SRW games. But Resident Evil, Megaman, Tekken, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter (etc...) fans exist by the thousands. So, more hard work towards the localization is likely.

Third, there were other "Licensing Nightmares" that came over, like Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Cross Edge and even SRW, so it's not out of the realms of possibilities. Just like I said, it's not guaranteed by any means, but... I don't know, I'm having a good feeling!

I think Senran Kagura has zero chances of coming over because it's a (im)mature 3DS game. You don't see games like this in the west even for the PS3/360... on 3DS it would be too shocking.

And Ciel no Surge, zero chances also, because translatting/dubbing/publishing/marketing would be pretty expensive for a genre that's mostly inexistant here. Especially with that love theme.

I'm a little woried about the job system, I bet it will end like FFIII or DQIX where I wasn't satisfied with any class

Another, improved, home-made video of the demo. It's cool because each demo has a character as the "icon". That means a fourth demo is bound to happen.
