Game Center CX 2: Likely to Stay In Japan
Retro Game Challenge? Yes, I played it, I beat it, I loved it. The wacky retro game simulation was right up my alley and after annihilating the Japanese version, I started over to give it a go in the US. Let me tell you, you wouldn't believe how important knowing the language is when you're playing an 8-bit RPG. Now, what about the sequel? XSEED has already dropped publishing Muramasa: The Demon Blade, what is to become to Retro Game Challenge 2?
In a recent interview with Ken Berry of XSEED, I'm afraid he comes bearing some bad news:
We're getting by, but not doing as well as we'd like. Retro Game Challenge started off well but still hasn't gotten to the point where we can justify bringing over the sequel. It's amazing how many people write to thank us for publishing that game, so perhaps as those enthusiast fans continue to spread the word we will get to where we need to be eventually.
I command you all, DS players, purchase Retro Game Challenge en masse. Now. I want my localizations.

Yes please everyone who hasn't buy it! It's a fantastic game(s?) and really deserves attention. The sequel is even better and I also really want it! I hear tales that Fragile (Wii) may also come out in the states depending on the sales of games like this from XSEED. I wish the company luck and hope that future sales are bright enough for them to continue to release wonderful titles here that nobody else seems interested in bringing over!
it does NOT help that when I went out to get this, EVERY Best Buy location listed it as "unavailable" for whatever mysterious reason, and I was forced to shell out to a local Gamestop.
knowing about the Japanese tv show certainly helps, and I think that if they would just release the TV show in convenient season packs on DVD (HINT HINT!!!) that they could sell more of the game.
