Maybe the Wii port is a bit behind?

mrklaw said:These kinds of niche games (for the west at least) are something I'd like to see on PSN for PS3 for those that dont have active PS2s anymore
is the wii version straightforward eg using The dpad for moving around menus, or is it all pointer based? For a long turn based game like this I think I'd prefer the simpler more direct UI of buttons
Dedication Through Light said:I guess Im confused on the two disc release? It is essentially one is the game with English VA, and the other is the game with Japan VA.
Why would they release a screen like this?

SavoryCade said:The podcast I co-host is setting up an interview with the NIS localization team for Sakura Wars in a couple weeks. I'd really like to get some good questions for them so please submit some if you got 'em! We're PlayStation-focused, but we'll throw in some Wii-related questions if they're good. You can either PM them to me here or email to podcast{at}psnation.org
Just wanna reiterate that I'm not looking to drum up listeners, just want some quality questions from people who actually know of this game's existence. Thanks!
Mejilan said:Serious question: Do they plan on fucking up this localization they way they tend to fuck up most non-NIS games?
RurouniZel said:Consider yourself PMed. ^^ Let us know when the podcast goes up I'd love to hear it!

Dedication Through Light said:Awesinem random question, but all the playable characters are females?
Well, there is that ONE character that's apparently Ambiguous, but yes, they're all female. It's Chose Your Fetish: IN AMERICA Edition. :lolRurouniZel said:Except for the main character, yes.

February 2010. Thank god not March, there's a TON of amazing games coming out in March!
The game definitely plays with Subaru's gender... Starting from the bonus disc included in in ST3 PS2, there's a "?" as Subaru's gender.doomed1 said:Well, there is that ONE character that's apparently Ambiguous

Durante said:So is there only a 2 disc version (utterly awesome by the way) for PS2 or is it on Wii as well? If it is I'd get both. If possible I want to play this on an emulator and then I could see if dolphin or PCSX2 works better.
Durante said:40 USD for the special edition is less than I expected. That's 27 or so :lol
I'll be getting 2.
[Edit]
Just read this: "NIS America changed some names for the English version, but for the PS2 Japanese disc has English text fitting with the Japanese voices. Hence, original Japanese character names and such. Basically the localization team had to make two different text files for the game."
This is fuck awesome if true (on top of the awesomeness of doing dual discs in the first place). Dual audio is good, but dual audio with real subtitles instead of dubtitles is the ultimate goal and basically perfect. I also think it's the first time this has been done (in a game).
androvsky said:Yeah, they mentioned that in the NISA interview with PS Nation also. So it's true, minus any editing errors that might creep into the process...
Speaking of that interview, NISA talked about how they wound up localizing Sakura Wars, and it's about the opposite of how a lot of us assumed. Apparently Red approached Idea Factory to make a Wii port of the game, and then Idea Factory approached NISA to localize it. I don't recall Sega being mentioned.

SavoryCade said:There's a few questions we removed or they didn't want to cover, Sega being one of them. Mostly just because NISA didn't deal with Sega, that all likely took place with Red/Idea Factory and they didn't really know anything about it.
