I don't think this game is gonna sell that well, considering this is the 5th game in a series that I don't think is that well known outside of Japan (and East Asia?)

Offside: Does anyone know if any of the 4 previous Sakura Taisen series was ever brought outside of Japan (and Australia)?

Edit: So this is the first Sakura Taisen/War game to come outside in the West?

None of them were.  This will be the first.

This will be a first day buy for me.

 

Same for me i'd wager.

This is kind of out of no-where announcement, I"ll be interested to see how NIS brings the title over. Of all the Sakura Taisen games, 5 is the easiest to bring over since it can fairly stand on its own since it is a new cast and has very little connection to the Tokyo team.

I"m getting the impression though people think this game is a pure SRPG. It has SRPG gameplay elements, but its mainly a dating sim with SRPG battles that occur at the end of each chapter.

They are fun games though and I"ve enjoyed all of the main titles games. I kind of wish though they ported Sakura Taisen Atsuki Chishio Ni instead since that is a remake of the first Sakura Taisen. Oh well, the fact that they are bringing over one of the titles is amazing enough hehe

It could be an office work simulator.... and i'd be happy so long as it has SRPG battles at the end of each chapter.

Quite.  Now that we have Sakura Wars being localized on a console... we just need the same for Super Robot Wars.

Yeah... maybe they could port the PS2 OG Saga+Gaiden.  It's the same as we already got... but expanded... but hey at least it'd be something.  

Not sure if anyeone would be willing to wade through the copyright jungle to bring over a game that is half full of robots that nobody knows.

Then again... cross edge.

Though Cross edge likely has cheaper roytalty rights and it was people who were all involved.

Really they'd probably need to make a western focused SRW to get it to work.   All popular animes the western kids know.

Which is like...Narutu, Bleach, One Piece? The only popular enough animes with mechs in the West is like...Gundam and Code Geass? Just make a new SRW with mechs from popular shows over here and bring it over...but I'm not sure what the response would be in Japan.

Well if your looking at more recent Anime... Gundam and Code Geass are a good start.  Eureka 7 was one you liked wasn't it?

Then there are classics such as Voltron, There's Big O, Macross,  Robotech.

Basically it's just got to be stuff localized that had a fairly decent following.  The big selling point of SRW games is that fans of one meca series buy the game... like say Code Geass fans... they play through another Mecha series stages like Eureka 7 and are intrigured enough to buy the DVDs.

Hmm...well I don't really keep up with what's popular over here so I'm not totally sure.

Forgot Macross, and I think Eureka Seven has a decent following. Haven't heard of Voltron or Big O, don't know anything about Robotech...

But if they made a SRW with Code Geass and Eureka Seven and such that'd be awesome. I really like Gurren Lagann as well but not sure if that's popular...

It's macross too... i'm getting it confused with... something.
