I was thinking about some DS Games that the japanse decided that they should STAY in Japan...but shouldn't have done!!
1.Super Robot Taisen W DS!! (never will be in english....) http://ds.qj.net/category/Super-Robot-Taisen-W/cid/3343

2. Chou Shoujuu Mecha MG DS (Super Operation Mechanic MG DS)  http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/aigj/index.html

3. Gundam Seed Mobile Suit DS (CANCELLED!!!!) (Feckers....probably the japanese made this decision EDIT: the japanese got their version cancelled too! so it wasn't them..) 
>:(http://www.gamespot.com/video/920762/6099443/mobile-suit-gundam-seed-official-movie-1

4. Elite Beat Agents 2 (Ouedan 2) EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THIS GAME IS!! (the japanese people made a sequel..why havent WE!? ??? I see nothing on a EBA 2 this moment in time and won't....

5. Tales of the Tempest DS Why did they only release to the US just the PS2 Version!? (havent heard NOTHING about it comming to US... :'()http://ds.ign.com/articles/675/675119p1.html

6. And Most of the games that star our most beloved anime characters half of them only reach U.S Shores (EX: Bleach DS 1 and 2...2 GinTama DS games....Narouto Shinobi Rejudsen DS...an upcoming One Piece DS game...the Jump Super and Ultimate Stars DS series..and (minor game) Tsubasa DS  TOO LAZY FOR LINKS!!!

Not for that to be a gripe session..but i was just putting my thoughts about how the japanese people are not bright and how they keep the BEST games only for "themselves" on how they dont release the GOOD games that would sell and therefore make "Them" $$$$!! :cool2:....sure we americans will get Dragon Sword and Phamtom Hourglass but why don't we see more good smash hit titles comming than just a select few? think About it! IT ALMOST PAYS TO LEARN JAPANESE!!! BUT IT'S SO HARD TO LEARN!!!
I'D LIKE TO HERE YOUR THOUGHTS REGARDING THIS MATTER...

Thanks...

yeah loads of JAP games should be released in english for ALL to enjoy  :)

as mentioned JUMP stars both of them .. theres loads more puzzle/training/simulation games out there but only in japanese :(

c'mon nintendo play fair .. you get all our good titles we get stuck with mostly unplayable AHEM imports  :(


Perseid

I can add Xenosaga 1+2 to that list. That's not gonna happen.

I think there will probably be an EBA 2, though. Just not soon.

I'm pretty sure that Bleach DS is coming to Europe and USA.
My Music

Nearly all of my songs are made with Fruity Loops, except for one where I used Reason. I recommend looking at my ambient stuff, and staying away from old songs, which are pretty crappy.

I wanted Gundam SEED DS pretty bad, in fact, it was pretty much the reason I thought the DS was cool when first unveiled.  I was pretty pissed when it got delayed, and delayed.  Would have stabbed someone if someone was around when I heard it got cancelled.

Jump Stars is impossible to localize. Licensing all those characters for US games use will be a nightmare for a publisher.
DS Lite Onyx Black
Supercard Lite
Nintendo Wii (US)
PSP (Metal Gear PO Limited Edition)

Denetsu no Stafi 4! This game is probably the most beautiful, and most fun platformers on the DS. But I can't get full enjoyment out of the game since I can't understand anything. And I refuse to play a game while have a guide laying right next to me and constantly having to take time out to look at it.

So this is one series I definitely hope gets localized.
Setup:
White Lite
Slot 1: CycloDSx2GB Kingston Japan, Supercard DSOne+1GB Nokia(J), 16G G6 DS Real, 16G DS-Linker, R4x1GB Kingston(J),
Slot 2: G6 Lite
PSP: 3.40 OE-A

Hey, Tales of the Tempest was not terrible, it was just different from the rest of the series.  Lots of people called Tales of Legendia terrible, but it was a great game.  I agree, Tempest should have been localized.  *sigh*  Well, good thing there's no region protection on the DS

And BTW: the Bleach games are going to be localized, both the DS and Wii games.  I still imported Bleach DS 2nd, though.  Gotta have the extra characters  ;)

A nightmare, as opposed to a year-long development cycle for a game of similar quality?

Doing a translation (would it even be necessary for anything but the menus?) can't possibly cost that much, and licensing... I don't know... I don't really know much about the US manga/anime publisher scene, but I know that in any business there are usually major players who do the majority of the titles.

Viz, that's one of them, right?  And what would those companies say?  "No damn you, quit offering us money for nothing!  We don't want free advertising!  Get off our doorstep!"

I'm not saying it'll happen, of course.  For exectives to start doing things that make sense, well, that'd be when hell freezes over...

Bleach DS 1 will be localized called: Bleach: Blade Of fate So Thats ONE game off the list....If it doesnt get cancelled! (it could ANY DAY)

PS: I SO F&C&IN Pissed about nintendo Denying Metroid Dread When there is even a "hint hint in metroid prime 3 About Project Metroid Dread Nearing Completion Well on the 6th of THIS month Nintendo Denyed it existed!!!

Why did nintendo do that!!!! have us americans go through all those years of WAITING!! More info here
