What? I just checked, and it's not.
It worked for Xenoblade but had no effect on bringing Last Story over.

Capcom really dropped the ball with this franchise.
I think Capcom Japan are just too stubborn to add wi-fi play to the handheld versions.. which sorta kills the point of releasing it outside of Japan and hoping for broad appeal.
I still wish the delay of Tri-G in the west is because Nintendo took them under their wing and are helping them to include net play.

Here is a question. What the hell does Capcom have in the pipeline for 3ds owners outside of Japan?
Nothing.

EX Troopers and Layton vs. Wright should arrive here.
How do you know that they will localize the EX Troopers game?
It seems like it's completely possible they only plan to license the anime based on the game to a company like Funimation.
I am sorry, I can't find the interview. I swear I recently (as recent as last month) read an interview about the localization of Xenoblade and it was stated that really the petition had very little actual effect on it happening. In the end, Nintendo just hadn't been asked by anyone else and they were open to the idea when it was brought to them by the team that ended up getting the ok to do it. It is going to drive me crazy not being able to find that interview now for a quote though...
Or am I remembering it wrong and lumping the the lack of effect on Xenoblade and The Last Story together.
no. it wouldn't. It's the reason I am not slightly surprised Capcom didn't localize it. It will flop all there is to it.
HMMM... Well with online play actually I see it doing like 100k-200k but without it it will sell most likely in line with the pap titles. Just my 2 cents
this is also a problem. If they had online it would get a huge chunk of that Tri fanbase that was built here and migrate to the 3DS. With no online it probably won't tempt them.
Why is Capcom so incompetent SMH
I'm not completely sure that it's incompetence. They make money on all the online versions of the game in Japan except the psp (and psp emulated) games on ad hoc party and xlink kai, both of which are fundamentally hacks. I suppose Frontiers has gone to a free to play model, but to get out of the low level cap, you still have to pay a subscription.
It's probably more a matter of their figuring out how to monetize online on a portable version.
^^^ As someone who has done pretty much everything on Frontier 1-4, and reached HR999 I can see why they would want to I'm still paying a sub tho lol. And Adhoc and xlink are only tunneling not hacks btw.
That doesn't mean anything

I just hope the poor Dragons Dogma sales in NA don't scare away Capcom from releasing this game in NA.

I'm just remembering wrong then. My bad.
Still, with this new initiative to make all games downloadable when the LL is released, it's not unrealistic or far off to possibly release Tri G on the US Eshop.

MH3 sold more than 800k, I can totally see being MH3G the next big third party titles for 3DS, in particular if Nintendo distributes.

Considering how much Tri sold in the west (over 400k just in the USA), I think it'd be worth Capcom's while to add online play for it. Plus they could rerelease it Japan too.
that is false, where are you getting that number?
Capcom shipment data ?

Receipts (lol): http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html (11-20 or All)
1.9 mill??????? sis what kind of receipt tho.. I think I'm reading this wrong ;___;
1.9m WW. So subtract japanese sales and you'll have the western numbers, hence the 800k number.
oooh gotcha. But I thought he meant the US not the West. That's different

We were talking about a possible localizaton. In the West, Monster Hunter 3G could be a pretty big title in 3DS ecosystem if marketed well.

I loved the water sections in Tri.
This would be disappointing if I actually had any interest in this watered down 3DS game.

Is it me, or could they really hit this game off with kids/teens? Have a trailer showing a group of kids all working together to take down some big ass monster and then mention trading, exploration, crafting etc. If done correctly it'd be amazing.
Hire me Capcpom Europe.
For some reason the Skyrim trailer comes to mind.
