Gerg would like to have a word (or 30 thousand) with you.
Last Window better at least come out in Europe so I can import it. I liked Trace Memory so not getting the sequel here sucked but Hotel Dusk was great and it will be much harder to cope with the loss of its sequel.
To me the chances seem better for Reginleiv than Last Window, but whatever you want man.ethelred said:The probability of Regenleiv coming ot the US is incredibly close to 0. I don't see why that's worth discussing.
I'm just hoping NoA doesn't also fail to bring over Last Window. Need more Kyle Hyde!
By the way, Reginleiv only supports M+ right? Doesn't require it? If so, do we know if the trailers show M+ in play or not?

Yes, because the chances are better for a new Japanese niche Wii action game with free online play and voice acting, with low chance of high sales, to be localized by Nintendo of America, than for a DS adventure game which is the sequel to a DS game which sold over 200k in the US. Right. Whatever you say.

But I never said Reginleiv has good chances! Aha!duckroll said:
It sold that? Really? I was kinda just talking out of my ass based off Trace Memory. Did it sell comparably or do I lose?than for a DS adventure game which is the sequel to a DS game which sold over 200k in the US. Right. Whatever you say.
Much better quality version of the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM6ahbBmJGM&feature=player_embedded

Don't get me wrong - there's lots of reason to believe the game won't come out, namely because NCL might not think it profitable to localise it.
I just don't think we can tell if that's the case on the basis of the game's appearance at a gaming conference seven months prior its intended release date.

around twice as much in the us
The only thing I can think of that might get Reginleiv (any clue as to what it's official name translates into?) brought over to Europe and North America and else where would be if Nintendo finally admits that they are being screwed over by the 3rd parties. They won't put games on the Wii to fill the gaps Nintendo are leaving or compete with them. So they will put out the game to fill the void. The best thing for them to do I would think would be for them to localize it and the push it the best they could without going crazy with the spending. It will most likely sell well. It might not get 3rd parties to make games but it will show Wii owners that Nintendo isn't the one to blame for the lack of games and claims that *insert claim* can't be done on the Wii or or there isn't a market are the lies that they are..
That's wishful thinking on my part. It won't happen but one can dream.

I am pretty sure that E3 2010 will be the consequence of the 3rd party disaster. Last years E3 Nintendo has announced more development partnerships like with Team Ninja for OtherM. I just hope that Nintendo does not show those half-ass 3rd-Party games on the big screen like in the past...

bad gameplay lol
Those have got to be bullshots, but I don't care. Game looks absolutely beautiful. Sandlot <333
There is something about REGINLEIV (Dynamic Zan) that looks off to me. The combat I've seen in the trailer reminds me of the combat in Dragon Quest Swords. In that you slice at the screen and the enemies are damaged accordingly. However in this case it looks like the character is on screen as well where as in DQS you were simply in a first person view. Now I could be wrong about this as there isn't much information out on the game but that is what it is looking liking. The game looks great but could this simply be a Dragon Quest Swords styled game?
Now Dragon Quest Swords wasn't a true rail game. You decided where you moved along the preset path. You could go to town (or was it towns). If this is the same case I'm not sure what to think. The fact that it looks great is a huge plus. If that means it's more DQS and less Dynasty Warriors what are your feelings on this?

Why would an on rails game have a mini map?
linsivvi said:
So you could change direction. As I said it seems like it could closer to Dragon Quest Swords. Which was a sudo rail game. You controlled when you moved forward, backward, turn, etc. However you were limited where you could go. The direction of the game was set and you couldn't changed that but you simply weren't along for the ride. Think more along the lines of a point and click adventure game on the PC. Don't think of games like Umbrella Chronicles, Dead Space Extraction, etc. Like I said I could be wrong.

So, not even close to on rails, just not fully explorable...

The Amazon pre-order bonus confirms that the soundtrack is composed and arranged by Masafumi Takada, as expected.

Apparently, both games will be in the newest Nintendo Power.

I hope Reginleiv & Last Window come here. Here's hoping they do since they have a writeup in the latest Nintendo Power. I don't remember really seeing any write-up for Disaster or Another Code, just under the release list section.

Brand new trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMVQY-6YwaQ
This shows off the scale of the enemies both in size and in numbers. Pretty good stuff. It also pretty much annihilates any bullshit that this is a rail shooter, since you can clearly move around freely as seen in the trailer.
Another note is that Nintendo is doing something smarter than I expect! From 21st Jan to 31st March in Japan, all Game Tsutaya stores will be offering free rentals of a demo disc for the game for customers. If the game is really fun, that should definitely help push word of mouth and make it easier for consumers to decide if they want to spend 60 bucks on the game.
