BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma in Arc System Works’ “localization queue”, other eShop games coming
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma is likely getting localized. It’s just a matter of when.
Arc System Works president Minoru Kidooka said the following when asked about an English translation of the BlayzBloo eShop title:
“We would love to publish this title in the states, but we’re a little short-staffed at the moment. Clone Phantasma is currently in the ‘localization queue’ with a couple other titles.”
Aside from BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma, it sounds like Arc System Works will be localizing other 3DS eShop titles.
“As far as Nintendo 3DS downloadable titles are concerned, we plan on releasing them, one at a time.”
And when asked about the possibility of localizing 3DS retail games such as the Kunio-kun titles, Kidooka said:
“We will need a little publisher support, but if there’s a strong enough demand in certain markets, it would be worth considering.”

Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has let one small tidbit loose regarding the studio’s new first-person shooter for the 3DS eShop. Watsham tweeted that the game will support a couple of control schemes including the Circle Pad Pro and stylus/touch screen usage.
He wrote:
BTW – the Circle Pad Pro is just one of the control options for our 3DS FPS. The classic stylus control is also supported (my personal fav).

We haven’t seen the new game in action, but that should change in just a few days. The new FPS will be playable at PAX East later this week.
