God that's gorgeous. We need a physical for this.
I can only imagine what the art inside the box is like.
Who knows with SE anymore. I'd be cautiously optimistic though, things like this are usually done partially to translate older entries finally. And it's not as if they can't port this around if it'll appease the western branches into releasing it.And of course they will never localize this
I'll take physical over VC any day.

I was excited until I realized that A) Seiken Densetsu 3 means this isn't going to be localized and B) That price tag is mad expensive for... not much new.

Presumably if this came stateside it wouldn't be 50 bucks, but like...$30?

I think you mean Square Enix. Not Nintendo.
On a scale on 0 - 0.1 are the chances they would localise Seiken Densetsu 3 and give it to us finally in the West?
If they localize it, it won't be cheap, particularly Seiken Densetsu 3, which doesn't gave an english translation. I expect 49.99 or more for SE to localize if ever

NoE and French fans: You have a new mission.

It's not Nintendo's responsibility to localize a third party game.

Doesn't VC have strict rules about modifying the original ROMs? Maybe this is a way to get around that so they can localize/relocalize this stuff.
It's a Square Enix game you know?
There are 4 versions of the first game in existence:
- the original GB FFA in B&W with really clunky controls
- a remake for old imode feature phones in full color
- a full reimagination called Sword of Mana (which was balls!)
- a 3D remake of the original on Vita and smartphones
For 4800yen they could throw in more than one version surely...
That's not how it works. Romancing SaGa 2 was never localized either. They still brought the smartphone version out in English. It wasn't 49.99.

Thats not how any of this works.
10/10 given the "washed out colors" thread going on

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
What about Sony announcing Grim Fandango on E3 stage or Final Fantasy 7 port at PS Experience stage?

Pure sexiness.
Bring it to me!
Just needs Legend of Mana and it's perfect.

And Nintendo would be pushing for localization if anything, as seen with Dragon Quest. They (almost certainly) won't BLOCK SE here.

You have my interest. Bring it over, and a switch will be brought.
Wow... this is so beautiful! :O

Oh right. There are a ton of games missing from this collection.
The collection is better without it, in all honesty. FF Adventure is a better game than the remake.
If this collection doesn't get localized, I might just import it.
I got that on my Vita, it was like six bucks.

Nah. With that price, it would likely be either $45 or $50 if we got it.
We won't though.
SD3 was always 3 player, just like SD2.
Grim Fandango is a 15 buck digital only release. It's also a solid remaster with QoL improvements, redone graphics, with an option to play in the original mode.
No one was excited for the FFVII port announcement. Shinji Hashimoto's announcement of that remains a meme gif to this day showcasing how out of touch S-E is with their audience.

listen to the mad man
I'm a huge fan, but 3 unaltered roms for 4800 yen is an outrageous scam, especially given that there are umpteen other games they could include in the same package.
