Precisely what Digimon needed. Saban seems to be on a roll again.

Perhaps. One way or another, I think Namdai should be willing now that there’ll be a TV show to drive more interest in the brand in the US soon.

Did Nintendo publish that Monster Farm game? I’ve never heard of it.

I know Pokemon doesn’t need to worry about the competition, but I can’t see Nintendo helping to publish a competitor either way. Even when Ninty helps with DQ, they don’t push the DQ Monsters games. They only helped with IX.

Pokemon is never in any fear of competitors. Also, Monster Farm DS got localized after 3 years on the DS and there’s some weird Denpa Men game on the N Store that’s kinda Pokemonish…

and don’t forget the Dragon Quest games…

as long as its not released at da same time as da new Pokemon gamez, i think it would benefit them to help localize it actually.

Except I don’t see Nintendo’s push benefitting a Pokemon competitor. Of all the games they might help come to market, this won’t be one.

On the brighter side, Sal makes an excellent point in noting Digimon’s return to US TV this year.

3DS or PSP doesn’t seem to matter when Namco is behind the game. Project X Zone is their one good deed for the year. 3DS just means we can’t import now.

Would kill me if it was released in EU and not NA. Then it being in English wouldn’t matter, because Nintendo is retarded. I’m not buying a 3DS from another country just to play games.

Actually, I think the possibility of this being localized is probably the highest for a Digimon game in a while.

For one, it’s a 3DS game: a system that’s not considered a dead market in the U.S. Two, interest for the series among young boys in the west will likely rise soon, given that Digimon Xros Wars will be airing on Nickelodeon this year. And three, Saban Brands, who’ve acquired the anime, have laid out plans for a “digitastic mass media campaign for the new series, and plan on having “ongoing PR support” and “robust social media outreach to connect fans” to “generate buzz and brand awareness among boys.” They also say they’ll be launching “toys, digital games and trading cards” through a “powerful merchandising program.”

So there could be hope yet.

Hey, Aksys is localizing that Keiji Inafune Otome (girls romance) game for PSP so it’s still not dead yet lol

I felt the same way about Project X Zone and now look…

The only game I know for sure is not getting localized is Super Robot Taisen UX

With Nintendo pushing Japanese games lately(even though this is the other MON series) and it being on the 3DS, I’d say it has a bit more of a chance than the PSP ever did.

Because there's no way this is getting localized. T_T
