Since its a Kadokawa game there is a decent chance Nis America will localize it. 

I kinda doubt that ... 

The VAST majority of Nis America's published games are JRPGs and are only on playstation platforms, neither of which "Rodea and the Sky Soldier" meets those criteria. They certainly have been localizing some 3DS titles recently but I would like to point out the fact that those are Atlus developed games so it's likely that Nis America's relationship with Atlus plays a bigger factor into those exceptions. The only IP so far that Nis America has localized from Kadokawa Games was Natural Doctrine and that game meets both of the critera stated above ... 

Actually scratch that out. It's highly doubtful that Nis America will localize it when the above conditions are realized ...


Ya I dint know what I was thinking when I typed that (I basiclly wasnt) their really is almost no chance of them localizing it.  Oh and beofre I forget they did actually localise one other kadokawa game it was Demon Gaze (Experience Inc is owned by Kadakawa)

Nintendo's passiveness when it comes to localizing games is baffling considering their lack of third party support and inability to deliver major first party titles in a steady flow.

Sure, some of these games may not exactly sell like gold-plated crack imprinted with the PS4 logo, but still, it would work wonders for their image by helping dispel the "no gaems" myth, alleviate droughts, and give the impression that they actually give a damn about their fans.

Which is also another JRPG and a playstation only game ...

It is an old game. Suppose to come out years ago.

I want it. Kadokawa can localize it themselves.

Did Kadokawa ever publish their own games for North America ? I can't seem to ever recall ...

I also don't think that the gameplay they've shown comes from the 3DS version as the image quality is waaay too clear for a machine that's only capable of a resolution of 400x240 and even applying 4x SSAA wouldn't be enough clean up the artifacts to this degree ...

I wasnt disagreeing with you dude just wanted to let you know that they brought over more than one kadakawa IP.

Since the game was actually completed as a Wii title it's likely the Wii U version is just the last gen assets in HD, which is what we probably saw.

I know but I just wanted to point out that tidbit ... 

I'm not trying to get you up in arms here but if feel that way then I hope you can forgive me ...
