You have no idea how much this depresses me. Left handed people have been discriminated against since the birth of civilization. The Latin word for left is literally "Sinister" and left handed people are forced to change their lifestyle even today. The ONLY left positive representation in all of video games was removed with barely any kind of of consideration and it's awful!

Like the past six presidents have been left handed.

Yeah I like the first 2 Paper Mario games a lot and I think the Mario and Luigi games are mostly good (although never quite great) but SMRPG has a special place in my heart. It felt completely like a Mario title but it also hit all the notes of a golden age Squaresoft RPG.

It's a shame there's not something floating in the ether that they couldn't localize to just hold us over, even if it's weird.

A while back for this thread I looked into what Japan only Wii U games there were.


A bunch of eshop shovelware
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 12 (if an English version existed at all for other platforms Koei probably would've thrown it up as digital only, but it doesn't so they didn't. Rot3K 13 did get an English version but no Wii U version)
A Yokai Watch game
A Kamen Rider game? (Namco-Bandai isn't stupid enough to release a game based on a live-action Japanese tv show, the one thing even more fringey than anime)
A Puyo Puyo game. Cry, puyo puyo fans.
The Monster Hunter MMO. AKA Japan: the Videogame.
Dragon Quest X. AKA Dragon Quest the MMO. Aka Japan: the Videogame II.

There is nothing to bring over.

There's a Taiko no Tatsujin game or two that would go over well if they brought them over but they're so full of licensed (mega-Japanese) music that it'll never happen.

The Yokai Watch game is Yokai Watch Just Dance, so not only is it a bad game to begin with but it only has like 8 songs or something because Yokai Watch doesn't have poo poo to contribute.

The Puyo game is Puyo x Tetris so it has the double whammy of "Sega thinks westerns hate Puyo" and "Tetris Company hates everyone".

The Kamen Rider game is a toys-to-life thing, I think.

I actually like Kamen Rider/Most Tokusatsu so I'd play the hell out of that.

I didnt realize, eshop games aside, how small this console's library must be. At least it'll be easy to finish collecting all of the good games (and some of the middle ground ones).

I'm just wondering if SF Zero or Windwaker will ever go down in price retail-wise.

I know WW has an alright sale going on but I prefer owning the actual game.

I can't believe Bruce Willisper is a thing from the actual game and not some localized thing.

Just stick all the American celebrities who do commercials in Japan for money in the game. Gimmie a Nicholas Cage Yokai.

I don't know why you felt the need to drop a sick own on MN9 over this Shantae trailer, but also we don't actually know what either games' budget is (unless we actually know MN9's?) because both studios are putting their own money, and maybe some other money as well, on the project in addition to the kickstarter.

We know MN9's budget was substantially bigger than Shantae's, which is all that matters.

I had completely forgotten about that! (Although one could argue that this is an importance of the characters sex, rather than gender). Good catch.
