Dracula X

Well, might as well start the topic.

So, do you think we ll see it outside of Japan?

I wouldn't hold my breath. There's no good reason why we shouldn't get it. Konami even went to the trouble of translating it into English for the recent PSP collection. But I have a feeling we're going to be denied. Those who are in charge of the Virtual Console these days have perfected the art of not giving us old school console fans what we want.

This is a tough one. On one hand, it's a famous "desired" import and a lot of people want it. On the other hand, VC imports don't usually have anything to do with demand.

Sincere question: what has the import release schedule looked like in Japan before the games get brought over here? Have all of the games we received as imports been released in Japan as normal releases ahead of time?

as much as I would love to see this over here in the U.S. of A and Europe I'm guessing we are gonna get the SNES incarnations of it insted

In b4 Hey EarthBound is coming to the VC

Are there any other examples of games coming over where a translation has been handled. No one will go back to the hard code of the PC engine version now.

well Sin & Punishment has minor translation done to the menus when it debuted on the VC. The original Legend of Zelda on the VC is also the 2003 Collector's Edition version which has a better translation of the Prologue. Since a translated version was already made for the PSP release I don't see why they couldn't just use that version for the VC release.

Perhaps because it isn't Nintendo? ._.

I also really really hope we get the game here in NA and Europe, but as much as I hate to say... I think Nintendo doesn't like us. You can stone me to death now, but I think this should be true at least concerning the VC which has seen very many better days.

If we get one Rondo of Blood game, then I think we get the SNES game, but not the TGX one.

You do realize that Europe have the better, earlier releases when it comes to the VC.

Anyway, I say nay @ the topic.

That's only in the US.

Dracula X doenst need minor translation does it. It needs massive translation.

If they chuck out yoshis cookie and expect us to get excited about it then I cant see where the priorities are.

Seems to me like the nintendo eu office is a bunch of tight fisted business men with no gaming experience.
