Capcom's Svensson on AA Investigations 2 localization
- Thread starter Oni Link 666
- Start date
Oh. This was what was said back in March.
Ah well. If there's hope that it'll come over, I'll hold out for it and that they're still talking about it is enough optimism for me. Xenoblade (2010 game even) and The Last Story did look like lost causes but I'm having a blast with the former and anticipating the latter.
Gaming is a pretty trendy hobby though so timeliness is essential for most people.
Still, if it's lttp rather then never, it'd be great. Whatever form it takes, I'll be there.
If it doesn't, well, that was in-line with expectations. I understand.

Hey, Capcom, What's wrong with this picture?
Haha that's awesome, I have the same exact versions as you (JPN JFA, USA the rest).
On topic, please bring AAI2 over FFS.

I think it would be wise for Capcom to release an Ace Attorney compilation on the 3DS, before the fifth game comes out. Too bad Capcom isn't that smart.

I know some people are tired of hearing vague comments from Capcom concerning this, but Sven just posted another one today regarding the Ace Attorney series (and MonHun), and their presence in the west in response to a fan's question.
Not read into that what you want, but "read into that exactly what you are hoping for"? Seems pretty hopeful to me.

Oh look, more stupid PR comments from Sven. How surprising. :|

Damn Sven and his vague statements, just announce it or don't but all this teasing is gonna give me an aneurysm.

Given how much shit Capcom has had with leaks and how much brick-throwing must have gone on internally, it should not be surprising that reps basically cannot say anything and must dance around questions. Even basic ones.
At this point I just feel sorry for Sven.

Eh, what I would be hoping to read into that would be a physical release of AAI2 on the DS. I doubt that's going to happen though. I think someone needs to have a talk with Sven and get him to not hint at things that have very little chance of happening. He keeps teasing shit about this and Monster Hunter and nothing ever comes of it.

I hate teasing, it's cruel punishment. Either announce it or shut the hell up already

And in the meantime, DmC is going to get multi-language in voice and text localization...

The moment PW was included in UMvC3, I knew the series wasn't going to die in the West.

Uh, it also had a character from Mega Man Legends.

CpNaCl. Capcomium Sodium Chloride. It brings out the bitterness in any dish.
Makes me slightly hopeful, I guess. I haven't been too bummed about AAI2 not making its way here yet because I really didn't like the first game, but if AA5 doesn't come out over here I will probably be in that camp of people frowning at Capcom. Granted I have bigger worries about the game than just its localization.

AAI2 will arrive + not a DS release = iOS confirmed?

*sigh* whatever
AA, MonHan and DMC are the three Capcom franchises I care about and for a long time they can't get anything right with any of them. Really tired of this.
I think he means that those localisation decisions will be made primarily by the folks in Japan not by people from the Western branches.
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important
Not too bummed about AAI2 since I found the first one pretty bad, although I'm sure I'd buy the sequel nonthless.
Now, if PLXAA and AA5 don't make it over here (where here means EU) then yeah I'll go berserk on Sven

I took it more as the West won't have as much creative input, feedback, and platform sales decisions when creating those games. Like, they're creating the games primarily for the Japanese market is the way I read it.
Capcom USA is just in charge of being the middleman, but not creation/development.

Stop taking his hype bait, guys. This has been going on for at least 2, 3 years and nothing has ever come out of it.

I fucking hope so. It's been long enough, and I'm starting to wonder if we'll get it at all.
Ghost Trick sold incredibly well on iOS, and there's really no doubt that AA1-3 would sell even better.

How much did Ghost Trick sell on iOS?

I met Sven at last year's Captivate, and one thing I was able to gleam was that when it comes to franchises like AA and MH, Capcom USA ALWAYS has their hands tied behind their backs when it comes to those particular series. They always have to wait until Capcom JPN gives them the green light to start talking about them.
If it was up to Capcom USA, they would announce every single title they plan to localize as soon as the ink is dry. Not Sven's fault.

AA games are perfect for IOS both from an interface/touch perspective and from an episodic perspective as well. Ghost Trick IOS is the perfect model for this. Porting it to IOS and localizing it there makes more sense than putting it on DS, probably. They'd make more money.
Maybe he's teasing an e3 announcement? Bah, not getting my hopes up. Screw you Sven!

I think he has alluded to in the past that the majority of key people that determine localization decisions are in Japan. Capcom's translation team is in Japan, after all.

His comment is probably more in reference to the upcoming Ace Attorney projects (Layton vs Ace Attorney, Ace Attorney 5) than it is to the 2nd Edgeworth DS game
I don't blame Sven for having his hands tied, but he's better off saying nothing.

I would not read anything AAI2-related from Sven's comments if I were you.

So you know AA vs. Layton is coming and AAI2 isn't coming?

Every time I see this thread bumped, I die a little more inside, and I'm reminded of how far Capcpom has fallen.
Damn you, you... reasonable dream crusher!
