Nintendo: We localize titles that we think gamers will embrace
October 10th, 2008 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Posted by Valay“We’re definitely looking at all of the games. Whenever Japan makes an announcement and talks about games or brings games out to market already, we look at it and say, ‘Will it work in this territory?’ And if we think the gamers here will embrace it and will want to play it, we’ll definitely make a move in that direction.” – Charlie Scibetta, Senior Director of Corporate Communications, Nintendo of America
Fair enough, Nintendo. Shouldn’t this mean, however, that a release date for Disaster: Day of Crisis should have been announced already? And I have to ask…Where is Soma Bringer and Professor Layton 2?

Well, i don’t want to be too harsh here. But it is unclear to me how much of the gamers opinions really go into these thoughts. I mean a view at sales figures may give Nintendo a right to decide for themselves. (more or less)
But if i would be asked: “Do you want this game on your market and are you willing to prepay if there’s enough resonance and we’re bringing it over ?” then i would definitely say “Yes, thank you”.
Actual game i’d like most here in Europe: Captain Rainbow.

Yeah, I’d like to see Captain Rainbow over in the US as well.
