Yeah, I'm really hoping they get released here. I know Red Ant and Atari have distributed a few of the other PAL Simple 2000 games by Midas and 505 GameStreet, but they've usually been extremely difficult to track down. =(

I looked up some of the games listed above on the PEGI website and found that apparently D3 Publisher now have a European branch.

The most horrible thing is, that some of the box-arts within this thread surpass the Mega-Man 2 masterpiece by a mile ( in terms of ugliness ).

Some new 505 stuff.
Street golf? :lol Sounds interesting. If it's even half good, I might pick it up for hilarity sake.
Got prices for this stuff? I'm surprisingly interested in getting Brick 'em all.
Any idea how many copies 505 sell of their stuff? They publish so much stuff [regardless on whether it's crap or not]

Brick 'em All will probably be full price. Even 505's Billiard Action, which was a Simple DS Series game, was full price. No idea how well their stuff sells, I think most of it still has a lot of trouble getting distributed. They just keep on pumping them out though!

Sony America probably wouldn't allow them.
Also, MORE 'Essential Games' have popped up on Amazon to be released the same day as the others. I assume they're Simple 2000 games like the others, but I have no idea what these ones are. Anyone reconize the art or something?
And other stuff;
Different Touch Generations logo to the US.
Fruit Machine Mania will be GOTY!

That one looks like Simple 2000 Ultimate: Sengoku vs *Something*, I think. Terrible beat 'em up.Infernal Monkey said:Sony America probably wouldn't allow them.

Well, it's not officially announced, but that shop is pretty close to Sony. They listed Ace Combat X, Tekken PSP, Xenosaga 2, SingStar Rocks... and other Sony published games long before they were announced. You can trust them. According to them there is even an online mode with up to 8 players.
By the way, does somebody know something about the unannounced SingStar Legends?

Companies like 505 and Essential Games make me smile from ear to ear. Europe needs shit like this, not just the crap from the big boys.

The NamcoBandai logo ****s all their covers! I really don't like it at all, and it seems they don't have enough corner space for it thanks to the age rate and sony ones ¬¬
Oh, NamcoBandai, when THE HELL will you get an european branch for publishing your own games...

I remember reading an article 2 years ago on their plans to create an own branch in Europe soon and even establish own european development studios Sega-style. Two years ago they are still relying on SCEE, EA and Nintendo :lol

Well, they had a publishing deal with Crave-daughter SVG a couple of years ago, similar to "Square EA" in the US. We got some (aside from the horrible PAL-adaption) well localized PSOne-games like SaGa Frontier 2, FF9 and Vagrant Story in Europe out of it, but afaik the cooperation ended when Crave folded a bit later.

To be honest, I think they're sort of trapped in a vicious circle. They might want to release more, but the hardcore market will always import from the US because localising games for PAL always takes longer (if they're translating them into European languages) and because they don't like PAL conversions (even though they seem to have got it sorted out now from what I saw of DQ8) and largely because they always have, which means lower PAL sales and so they choose not to bring things over. Guess that's a problem when you make a niche type of game.
Of course, if they could localise everything simultaneously, it'd be less of an issue, but we've had this discussion before on GAF, lots of times.
