@Nitwit:
Because they probably wanted to bring the game out in other countries but wanted to wait it out in Japan first and see their reaction on the game if they like it or not?
It's actually a good sign that this game is getting released in America.
Europe as well and that's a shocker! lol
That and I could buy this game and the DBZ game just to have friends play with me on OP Vs DBZ cast fight.
Not a definite sign at all that this is coming to the US. When Gigant Battle was released on DS it was quietly released in Spain with some copies appearing online in other European countries, however it never made it to the US.
I really hope the game comes out in English but I have a feeling that they might have to cut crossplay/online. Localization on this is probably a bitch.
Possible factors as to why Grand Battle X never made it outside of Japan: license with the Nintnendo x One Piece on Amiibo support, translations, fitting onto cart, online features, replacing the opening sequence music. It doesn't sound very profitable for a game with meh reviews.
@KaizokuJinbei:
They may as well of ported it to the switch at this point.
Why? They're still making games for 3DS.
