XSEED thinks the chances of licensing a title from Nintendo are slim
Some Nintendo fans believe that if games such as Xenoblade didn’t make their way to North America, perhaps a third-party publisher could step in to localize content. Like XSEED. In reality though, the possibility of XSEED localizing any Nintendo title isn’t great.
When asked if working on Solatorobo opened channels of communication with Nintendo of Europe, Ken Berry, Director of Publishing told Siliconera:
“No, actually. Everything, all of our communication, is done directly with Namco Bandai of Japan. Yeah, we’ve never licensed a title from Nintendo before, so I would think the prospects of that happening would be very slim.”
I realize that the question was specific to Nintendo of Europe, but I’m sure Berry’s answer also applies to Nintendo of America.
