I wonder what it would take to get an Euro release then...

And this is what happens when you use R4s, cocksuckers!

I'll get mine.

I got mine... maybe not day one, but really close. I love it so and very much need the second to come out. Please buy it.

Maybe I'll buy my lady one...

@ A New Challenger- As I have studies your taste in games for over a year now, I am %100 certain that you will like Retro Game Challenge. Personally, I loved it so much more than I thought I would, and I was already sure I'd like it a lot.

Already opened my wallet for this. Then I wrote an article for the school paper where I told everyone to go buy it, Madworld, Valkyria Chronicles, and Excitebots.

I'm in the clear.

I've only noticed this game at GameStop. Is it even sold anywhere else? That might be one reason for the low sales.

I couldn't agree more. This is by far one of the most fun games that I've played on the DS. It would be a shame not to have part 2 localized because of low sales on the original

@Jonathan Holmes: Oh yeah, I know I'll love it. I just keep getting distracted by things like Shin Megami Tensei reprints coming back into stock. Too many good games. Maybe for my birthday along with Punch-Out!! I really do want to see the sequel here.

I can't wait. I loved the first one and now the 2nd one comes to save me from the mediocrity of current stuff :-p

I love these "calls to arms", from anything, including Chrono Trigger's recent one. It's like a "remember this awesome game?!" reminder.

I bought mine, and then wanted the next one so bad that I had the foresight to study Japanese for 4 years in advance and import it. It's not as easy to follow as say, a Dragon Quest, but really all you need to be able to piece out are the challenges anyway. I'll get there!

I bought the first game and it was awesome. I imported the sequel as soon as I heard they're not localizing it.

Always with the threats, these people. Oh no, you won't pick up a game for localization that has been over-hyped in some circles but is really sort of middling or a little better? Please!

If these guys think there's a buck to be made on localizing a game they'll bring it over regardless of how the last game performed. It's slightly more relevant here since at least they're fear mongering about the sequel instead of some other game that got middling reviews upon release in Japan and doesn't even look that interesting in the first place. But isn't pulling the localization hostage card on the same game twice a bit over doing it?

How about we all boycott these games until they stop threatening everyone. Profit motive is inherent to a capitalist (or quasi-capitalist, as we have it here) system and no one needs to be reminded that products that sell well are more likely to have similar products released in the future than ones that sell poorly and put their producers out of business.

Seeing as though I bought mine about a month ago, does it count towards the 10k-20k amount? I'm considering buying a copy for my little brother...maybe now I will.

I also emailed XSEED to show them some RGC love, and asked about the possibility of #2 heading our way. They basically said what they said here...many more copies need to be sold to justify the localization.

Does XSEED have exclusive rights to the series? Or is it possible that, even if they don't localize RGC2 that somebody else (Ignition, Atlus, somebody) could bring it over instead?

The first one was brilliant, but it's still criminal that they made blowing in cartridges a menu option and didn't use the DS mic.
