Yep. Looks like a good time. Hope they sell enough copies!

I already opened up my wallet for them once. Make somebody else do it.

I bought the first one on day one! Gimmie #2, dammit!

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

I just bought Retro Game Challenge brand new off of Amazon. It should be here next week. So 1 down 19,999 to go!

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

I'll get mine.

I bought mine, you all fail

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...

I keep telling myself I can't go get another game, then I turn around and impulse buy Final Fantasy VII when I find it at a cheap price and ignore games like this that I also really want.

How many "Hail Mary"s should I recite?

@ 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.

I actually pirated this game at first.

And it is one of the few games that I put down after 5 minutes, and ran out and bought. It's that enjoyable.

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.

Goddamnit, if you own a DS and you haven't bought this game yet, I will come to your house and personally kick your ass. Is is that awesome.

And watch the original show. Arino is a living saint among gamers.

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 bought the awesome RGC long ago. I strongly desire RGC2, but I'm always sceptical about these kind of statements. They just rub me the wrong way, not precisely sure why.

Just a wee bit of advertising in the first place would help too. Hardcore people are going to know about it anyway, it's the retards that buy Imagine <insert thing> and Carnival Games bullshit that need to be made aware of it to sell more. That the Mama games or Imagine Ponies sell better than RGC is a fucking travesty.

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

I did my part and bought the game. I rarely see it in the stores though...

@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.

<.< Don't listen to this crazed man. He made me play Dead Rising for cookies. I had the munchies, how did I know any better? >.>

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

you have convinced me to buy this

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

I really want to buy this but I spent all of my money on Shin Megami Tensei reprints.

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 got mine the day it came out and it quickly became one of my favorite games. Looks like i know what im buying every one for christmas and birthday

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

Thanks for reminding me to pick this up (and, on a side note, pick up Valkyria Chronicles, another one of those "buy it or so help me God" games).

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.

Human papillomavirus does bring up a good point.

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.

i almost wonder if Xseed couldn't recoup some cash by releasing each title onto WiiWare. Surely they are all worth $5 each and would get some extra exposure there.

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.

I completely agree Deathofthedead, how could they have missed such a simple intergration of the ds mic.
