I've been interested in this game for awhile but I'll probably wait for a sale at that price.

It's published by Agatsuma Entertainement in Europe, so I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait a loooooong time. And by long, I mean : forever.

I don't think they even did a sale on Code of Pricess...

i stopped checking for sales on that but afaik it never went on sale here
 
Assuming Agatsuma Entertainement leave NOE to sort out non-€ currencies that means £22.49/€24.99/$AUD32.49. Alternatively, look at code of princess prices (did they follow a similar pattern).

Why can't we get the regular name in North America :(

That's pretty strange, because I'm sure Agatsuma Entertainement is using the NA localisation (unless they asked another company for that.... but I doubt it, wouldn't make sense for them).

What I'd really like to know is why they wrote UmiharaKawase without any space :p

That's a shame.

If it works out to around $32 AUD I might bite on it (which isn't as high as I was expecting it to turn out here) considering there's barely any chance of a sale.

Oh hey, that's unexpected. But cool! Definitely getting it.

(Chibi-Robo, Rusty, SMTIV and Magical World next, please.)

yeah, me too.
Even if the game looks kinda lame, it's supposed to be fun, right?
Having played the SFC and PSP versions I'm pretty confident that it's going to be awesome.
It's got very challenging (and rewarding) gameplay mechanics. And since you get infinite lives in the newest game it's not going to be too frustrating. But mastering the hookshot mechanics to later climb vertical walls and go off the beaten path feels very satisfying.
