In a recent interview with RPGamer, XSEED's Ken Berry chatted about Little King's Story, Arc Rise Fantasia and other projects. Game Center CX 2 came up, better known as Retro Game Challenge 2 to us here in the US, but unfortunately news of its localization was not so good:
"We're getting by, but not doing as well as we'd like. Retro Game Challenge started off well but still hasn't gotten to the point where we can justify bringing over the sequel. It's amazing how many people write to thank us for publishing that game, so perhaps as those enthusiast fans continue to spread the word we will get to where we need to be eventually."
Man. I begged everyone I knew to buy Retro Game Challenge, not only because it's one of the best games I've ever played for the DS, but also because XSEED told us its performance would affect whether Fragile would come out here or not. It never did, so I guess the numbers didn't make it where they should have. I'm disappointed to say the least, but I guess I should be happy the first Retro Game Challenge got a US release at all. Keep taking chances, XSEED!

Do you think there's a chance that another company could bring it over?
I'll try to keep my hopes up... somehow.
If not, those ROM hackers better get cracking on a fan translation.
@Chronic Logic: not at all,much cooler than WW.check out Colette's review.
I bought the first one.

A lot.
Arrrghh...... noone it seems takes chances on games that don't have a number after the title of the game.
No, it's more like the game and watch games in a sense. It has a cavalcade of retro style games that ooze nostalgia. Shmups, platforming and racing games are the main ones I've come across, most of each havign at least one sequel on the cart you'll play later on.
I bought my copy. It's a shame that we aren't getting a second one.
