Hoo boy, another two games for Nintendo of America to not localise (save us Europe!)

Regulus Tera · 11-12-2009, 11:40 AM

Zangeki no REGINLEIV (Wii)
- "Reginleiv's Slash"
- Nintendo, Sandlot company
- Previously known as " Dynamic Slash"
- Release Date: Feb 11, 2010
- Nintendo's first Cero D title (the equivalent of ESRB's M)
- Free online co-op play (max 4p)
- Looked like this a year ago:

Last Window -Mayonaka no Yakusoku- (DS)
- Nintendo, CING
- Release Date: Jan 14, 2010
- Sequel of Wishroom (Hotel Dusk Room 215)
- Story is located at 1980's Los Angeles

Hopefully Nintendo of Europe does the translation, at least. They took over the translation of Another Code R (Trace Memory's sequel), so it wouldn't surprise me.

Ok, let's try this again, now that I've bothered to scroll down and find the relevant entry.

Regs, why do you think this won't get a NA release? I don't see anything there that says anything about Nintendo of America. Is it just because Dynamic Slash is rated M?

Whoa.

Huh.

Exactly.

It's because it would be really cool of them to do so and because these games are not guaranteed to sell a bajillion copies. Based on history, this relegates the odds to 50/50 at best.

~~I actually don't give a shit about the Zangeki game.~~ It's compatible with Motion Plus so I WANT (Japanese again).

Regulus, are you feeling ok today? I'm confused by your actions. Why would you bring up Dynamic Slash or whatever it's called now if you didn't remember it from E3? You kill giants and stuff, it looks awesome.

Regulus Tera · 11-12-2009, 04:07 PM

It wasn't at E3. It was revealed in the Fall Conference of last year.

Either way, I'm bringing it up because NoA fucking sucks and it looks cool.

Well, my mom's going to be bummed about the Hotel Dusk thing (if it in fact does not come out over here), because she played that game non-stop until she beat it.

But other than that, it's not like it's big news that Japan isn't localizing games. Why the fuss?

That picture reminds me of last-gen wrestling games. Specifically the hair. It looks completely inflexible and seems to bend around some invisible barrier floating above her shoulders and chest. Here's hoping that's just because it's an old picture and that it looks much better in motion.

... oh, and damn Nintendo if it turns out these games don't get brought overseas.

I've assumed that that is in motion, that she's turning quickly and it's making her hair fly about a little. If it really always looks like that... :gonk:

Ten seconds of Reginleiv gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_IrL...fmt=18#t=6m13s

It's basically Earth Defense Force with swords and magic.
