Rodea: The Sky Soldier is the ONLY game I want out of the US. If Naka-san can careess my thoughts with Ivy the Kiwi? I'm dripping with anticipation to se what he can do with Rodea.
Earth Seeker is looking purty too. Another title I want out of Japan. Looks hella better that Story/Xeno/Pandora.
Also, prepare for Stealth RAGE!

oh and not hitting the benchmark by 400k really changed everything lol
By the way xseed wasnt a big part of the ds for a long time either

FUHK YEAR, I was really hoping XSEED would take interest in Earth Seeker and Rodea, I really hope they localize them, I'm slowly starting to love XSEED. Kinda disappointed their not that into the 3DS at the moment, but I'm not to worried about it I'm sure the 3DS will do fine, and we'll get some XSEED goodness somewhere down the line.
Well, I don't even own a Wii, but Earth Seeker looks good to me. Rodea looks quite good as well. I still have to get Ivy The Kiwi for DS.
Also, I preordered Solatorobo and I can't wait! Epic you should do the same.
@Stealth: Take your 12 yr old self back to GoNintendo. That is all I'm going to say regarding you.

I dunno about stealth he has been calling out on fanboys on the other article with jon yet he is the only butthurt one. Who's the real fanboy here huh?
@ Stealth- No spin, just quoting XSeed word for word, and adding a little opinion (though I guess I do sound a little biased by saying that I hope that the 3DS has an exceptional year).
I am not saying anything further regarding this
All I am going to say was the first ds xseed title was 4 years later
So them saying they arent jumping in right away, is usual procedure.
Dont act shocked now

@ Stealth- Yet, they want to have a PS Vita game at launch. What do you make of that?
@ TrevHead- Not that I know of, but I'll keep you posted.
@ Namodacranks- No you!

" Stealth- Yet, they want to have a PS Vita game at launch. What do you make of that?"
First of all they said if they could it would be nice because they have been working on so many psp games lately. They didnt say they want to have a title out at launch ( making it seem like they have one in the works.
Second of all why would I care? What does that have to do with the 3ds?
Spin.

XSeed- "If we could be there at the launch of Vita, that would be absolutely great for us."
You're both having having trouble reading the actual post, and reading into what I'm writing too much. That said, after being called a Nintendo fanboy for so many years, it is kind of neat to have someone imply the opposite for a change.

It would be like me saying why does square have at least 5 3ds games in development, but the vita has none? square hates/ is taking it slow with vita right?
no, each company works on there own timeline for different systems and what they are able to do.
xseed has been working on exclusively psp titles for a good while now, so thats what they feel comfortable with. For the psp and ds they waited over 4 years to start working on titles.
What they were talking about was "what if"

Dreaming that they would like to be at launch, and actually saying we will be at launch are seperate matters.
In fact xseed just did its first ps3 psn title over 5 years later, it took years and years for ps2 titles...........
So them dreaming they would like to be at launch is nice. but thats all it is. And really has no bearing on what is.

His first post????? Didn't keep that promise did he?

Unfortunately I got baited. But I love xseed so I dont mind talking about there history. Ive been following them since they formed
I bought Ivy the Kiwi and Sky Crawlers cause they looked alright but mostly because XSEED published them. I think XSEED is the coolest publisher ever. I'm not yet sold on these two games but I'll be keeping an eye on them now for sure. :)
I was really hoping someone would have interest in Rodea, I was worried that people had forgotten about it. Good on them :) Also, while their 3ds comments are discouraging, I'm not THAT worried by them as their aren't many games where their services would be necessary. I mean, the only games I can think of that aren't being localized are Love Plus and Senran Kugen or whatever its called, and I don't think either of those will ever make it over here. Eventually, I'm sure there will be, especially with the great titles lined up for the rest of the year.
Well I'm very much planning on getting Solatorobo and since I never had a DS I'll play it on my 3DS, so I'd love to see any company importing japanese deliciousness staying around for the new console.
There is some great Nintendo games coming soon, but otherwise I hope my 3DS will NOT have been mainly for discovering the DS' amazing library.

@ EggmaniMN- Interesting analysis, though let me tell you, if you ever become a writer for a game blog, you'll have to watch your step. Saying stuff like "I guarantee you that they wanted to have a 3DS game out at launch too" is a sure fire way to get accused of adding spin and misquotation to a news post.
As for your criticism of the post, I don't think I made it sound like they "dislike" the system. "Like" doesn't really come into the equation. I just stated that, from the quote, it sounds like they are "less keen" on publishing 3DS games compared to their other opportunities. Is there any other way to read into statements like "I don’t think we’re ready to jump into that market just yet"?
@ Grethiwha- That's pretty awesome. I'll let them know you said that!

Earth Seeker looks great. I haven't been following as much as the OpRainfall Trio, but I'm all for having that here. Sounds great.
I've got bad news for you, Holmes. Earth Seeker bombed in Japan.
@ GohanGVO
There are many games that are not big sellers in Japan, and sell better in the U.S. & U.K. market.

Oh course they love the PS Vita, they can distribute games digitally on that system and save a TON of money not making retail versions.
I mean that's how they were so successful with the PSP.
It's amazing what a competent online store does for software makers, especially small ones. Learn Nintendo...Actually who am I kidding, they won't.

@ hardy
xseed was more successful with physical titles by far. Apparently they barely made any profit with there dd adventures.

@Jonathan Holmes: Haha cool. Little King's Story is one of my favourite games of all time and probably my most personally affecting game since the N64 Zeldas. It's such a beautiful and endearing (and incredibly fun) game and whenever I think about it I can't help but feel a shiver of overwhelming sadness as I remember that it bankrupted Cing. And then I look at my copy. And it's packaged with a beautiful full-colour instruction manual. And I have my little Onii squeeze-doll that came with it. And I cherish these things. And I'm amazed that XSEED can stay in business publishing these hardly profitable games and, well, always have amazing full-colour instruction manuals when Activision and EA for example feel that costs too much. I think that the quality of the instruction manual, whether you feel it's important or not, is a great indicator of the dedication of the company, and XSEED goes above and beyond each one. The love they put into publishing their games, evident in the packaging, is rivaled only by the love that's so clearly been put in by the developers of many of the games they choose to publish.
I wrote a short blog post a while back (before switching to the Dtoid community blogs ;) ) saying effectively the same thing. I think they're the coolest publisher ever. I'm also a huge fan of FSR and Fragile Dreams (and Ivy the Kiwi is great too - so adorable). That Flower, Sun, and Rain has an instruction manual consistently matched in quality only as far as I can think of by Nintendo and Rockstar games blows my mind.
PS: Why do you hate Nintendo so much, Holmes? ;)

I want Earth seeker more than last story or xenoblade, so this is great news. They're doing solatorobo as well,
@Grethiwha
You know, I think the presentation of little things like the manual is really important too, especially these days when buying a physical version of a game usually costs much more time and money than downloading (and of course, pirating) it does. I knew exactly what game I was getting with the Super Mario 25th Anniversary package, but the NZ$100 stung a little bit when the exclusive packaging was a leaflet and soundtrack of mostly sound effects. It's the sort of thing that encourages customer loyalty, I think.
I can't understand the way EB games sell used games without covers or manuals for the same price as they'd be with those things.

Xseed does good work; therefore, Here's to hoping that keep the faith and publish a lot for the 3ds, while still catering to other systems. Only time will tell, though.
wow I completely forgot about Rodea. It's been a while since we've heard of it.
In a related note now i remember why Gravity looked so familiar now.

In my opinion, the only thing wrong with the 3DS is that not enough people are willing to step up and attempt to deliver customers with a unique and creative gaming experience utilizing the 3D tech that the system has to offer.
With more and more companies seemingly weary of the system, it seems less likely we'll get these types of experiences. It's lame if you ask me, and potentially a missed opportunity for developers, publishers, and the even console itself.

Solatorobo is meant to be out in Europe, but I can't find it anywhere, at least not online for me to import it to South Africa. Frustrating.
Just got one thing to say : XSeed really has the talent to find good games to publish in the US. I finished Little King's Story and Solatorobo recently, and Oh My God these games are amazing !
Solatorobo really has a retro feel to it, kinda like a throwback to the nineties and their RPG's and adventure games. The writing is fantastic, that is why I'm already on my second playthrough (and also to compare back to back the French and English translations ^^)
