Today during IGN Nintendo's podcast on the segment of Retro Game Challenge they made a blurb about XSEED games how they are bringing out awesome games that gamers would genuinely want to play. Well in one segment the Xseed president requested the IGN Nintendo crew to spread the word about one thing: If you want a bigger chance of Fragile to come out in America then he encourages you to buy Retro Game Challenge.

The reason is two fold: 1. In Japan Retro Game Challenge and Fragile are both published and made/funded by Namco Bandai, Xseed already got the rights to publish Retro Game Challenge in North America so it will should be easier for them to secure the rights to publish Fragile here. And number 2) Sales, Xseed will have something to back them up, sales numbers since both of the two games are Namco-Bandai games as stated above Xseed can prove to Namco-Bandai that there is genuine demand in North America for some of the stuff that Namco-Bandai doesn't publish in North America(which could easily include Fragile) and since they can see that XSEED did a good job with getting enough sales of Retro Game Challenge and XSEED will have an easier time to obtain the license in the event that Namco-Bandai doesn't want to publish it themselves.

I was going to buy this game anyway, and this just gives me one more reason to get it :)

And Fragile looks beautiful.
Im thinking of getting Retro Game challenge anyways.
I'm with Garison on this. Retro Game Challenge was already on my "must buy" list, and now with a better chance of Fragile being released here if more copies of RGC are sold? A no brainer to me.
That's like some kind of blackmail
Retro Game Challenge looks awesome so if it allows more games to come out here, woo.
@Trailerpark - it does feel like it's blackmail but if you read the second paragraph in the blog post it reallymakes sense though in a no duh type of way because if a product sells well a company would pursue to bring out more products to the market place, because there's genuine interest and buying potential for that product. Also XSEED is one of those rare videogame publishers that listens to it's fans such as they scour neogaf and other videogame sites for feedback, thoughts and what not.

Namco-Bandai rarely licenses out their games to other publishers the only third party publishers that successfully did it were Atlus,XSEED, Atari(for European and probably Australian distribution) and Ubisoft(European distribution). Now Atlus primarily go after Flight Plan and Banpresto games, XSEED successfully got Retro Game Challenge.
Holy crap, I need Fragile here. Maybe I'll buy this game despite the fact that I don't have a DS.
Guess its doomed then.
I wouldn't mind buying this game, even if Fragile's future didn't depend on it.
This just went from "maybe" to "Day one". As sad as that sounds.
If I buy four copies, will they bring the Tales of DS games over? :D
I'll buy it. Shit, I'll buy multiple copies of it.
@Doomsday When I was looking over one XSEED question transcript, they said it's generally hard to get a Namco-Bandai game licensed and also the Tales of Series is out of the question since they would never license it unless it's a special circumstance, the only thing something like that happened was when Nintendo published the GBA Tales of Phantasia late in the GBA life.

I think Sony might of published some PS1 tales of games in NA but I honestly don't remember.
As soon as I heard that on Nintendo Voice Chat, I ordered it off of Amazon. It's on its way :D
Then release it in Europe then!
