Maybe, but for nintendo nooo!!! they obstruct us from reaching their nippo games and this is the article that i will show us all the games that was deprive from us.
Part One:
The Square Enix case :
Eggmonster Hero DS: First ds game square released in japan was scheduled to land on our shores late 2008...we're still waiting, maybe this will never be released here because of the crazy game it is or because is a spin off from a series that never came stateside(hanjukyuu hero)( a la dragon quest heroes, but dragon quest heroes came stateside... we will never know why s-e kept this game from us...).
Sigma Harmonics: Rythm adventure investigation rpg from Tetsuya Nomura and Yoshinori Kitase, the story tells about a boy, Sigma Kurogami, wich in each chapter he solves he changes the past and meets another murder, the games atmosphere is like another meets j pop culture + Showa period. The opening of the game is sung by Aya Hirano( the godess that dub, suzumiya, konata, mamori...) who also does the VA for Neon Tsukyumi. this game has lots of nipponic hermetism culture, as The World Ends With You had, but sold lesse than TWEWY i still pray for this gfame to come stateside.
Nanashii no Geemu(Nameless Game): A noir adult horror rpg wich puts people on the role of a boy who heard about a rpg game that make people disappear, he then uses his ds to play the game and see that something that is happening in the game is happening in the real life ... maybe they thought that it's too creepy for our western eyes... aside that the game wasn't a huge seller, but come on, this is a very niche game... it sold better than any game of project zero(fatal frame) series has ever sold and scored pretty on critics.
Front Mission 2089 Board of Madness: The second installment of front mission series on ds is a port of a cellphone game, the first one that came stateside wasn't a huge seller but was one of the best simulation rpg to port on ds bay, the series is extremely niche so that's why they didn't brought it here.
Itadaki Street DS: Mario series unite with Dragon Quest series, if any other serie teamed up like Final fantasy or Jump this would be the sign of world doom japanese would stop working...jokes aside this is a huge selling game that is very casual and have two of the most loved hardcore franchises but the game, itadaki street isn't very popular by our shores so that is why it never came stateside.
Cid to Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon: toki wasure no meikyuu DS(Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Dungeon Plus): A remake(?) of the chocobo dungeon wii game that includes more jobs and a cid sidestory. Didn't sold very well on japan market, and is just a remake(?) of a game that didn't sold well too...another one that us will be deprived sadly.
Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon: Majou to Shoujo to Gonin no Yuusha(Fibal Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales: the witch the girl and the five heroes): This game still has the ay of hope, being the second installment of a series that came stateside chocobo games are the ones with the most bright future from square "culture imprisonment".
Yosumin DS: A puzzle game is not that hard to localize... and is a cash in. The only thing that impel this from coming here is that the nipponic want to deprive us from their culture. About this game story, is a web browser game that s-e used and remaked(?) for ds with 2 palyer mode and stylus upport.
