Just how awesome is Nintendo of Europe? Well, think about this. They’ve brought over Disaster: Day of Crisis from Japan. They’ve announced Xenoblade Chronicles for European territories. And now they’ve revealed that they’re going to handle localization for CyberConnect2’s stellar DS title, Solatorobo. I think it’s pretty clear at this point that Nintendo of Europe blows Nintendo of America out of the water…

11th April, 2011 – Nintendo and NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S., a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, today confirmed they have entered into a distribution agreement for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, a game for the Nintendo DS family of consoles which is due to launch across Europe later this year. Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories including Russia and Turkey, as well as South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Capcom on lack of Ace Attorney Investigations 2 localization, Okamiden sales surpass first Investigations

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

Capcom created a lot of buzz recently when they stated that there are no plans to localize Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Now Capcom’s Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson has taken a bit of time to explain the company’s reasoning. Svensson also shared an interesting nugget that Okamiden’s sales have already surpassed those of the original Investigations title.

“The costs of localization are higher than the forecasted return. And no, it wouldn’t sell more than Okamiden (which has already sold more than the first Investigations). Could this content show up on some other platform somewhere down the line? Possibly, but there’s nothing on that front for me to talk about. I realize there are fans who would like to have this and I’ll be sure to explore ways that could happen viably in the future with our strategy and R&D teams but no promises.”

I’m in the section that wants it and believes that it can be done correctly. In this post I’m going to explain to you how I would make a SSB game on the 3DS work and play correctly. I’ll then go into detail on the features, characters, and stages I would want in such a title.
