Yeah! Lunar on the go! Lunar is one of the few RPGs I can still stomach these days.
Hopefully they'll port Eternal Blue too. DS carts should have no problem fitting the anime in there.

... didn't think of this before. Working Designs is a pretty anti-Nintendo company (didn't Vic Ireland say something like, "we'll consider anything as long as it isn't on a Nintendo console"?) and they translated all of the other Lunars. If WD doesn't pick this up, will anyone? Ah, crap.

The DS however...
Man did Lagoon suck. Something about a red eye and a brown eyed guy being your nemesis... and an old dude.

Is this the game we're talking about?

That's good to hear. We could use some more RPGs on DS.
i think it's more to do with the fact that vic doesn't like dealing with the cart medium (cos of the long lead times and the minimum print runs.) not to put words in his mouth, as he's perfectly capable of answering for himself. that's gleaned from old usenet posts, btw.
and you know, that's a valid point. acclaim and capcom both got fucked up the ass by that.
buuuuut given the nature of DS media, i don't know what the minimum runs, and lead times are like. the production costs are supposed to be 30% cheaper than GBA games, right?
anyway, as has been pointed out, ubi did lunar for GBA, so they might. as has not been pointed out, they did a shitty job with it (and did a shitty job with AGH, implying they will continue to do a shitty job with portable localization) so it may not be a best case scenario for them to grab lunar DS.
and if it's a remake of lunar 1 AGAIN it can go fuck itself. enough is enoguh.

I'm not a big Lunar fan, but if there's a Lunar game coming out, it had better be a new one, they've been dicking around with remakes for years now. And honestly, any translation these days would be better off in the hands of Atlus, Mastiff or Nippon Ichi - they'll get it out in a more timely fashion with the same if not better quality. Working designs is just too slow.
not that i played it, but i don't consider the censorship in la pucelle to be "boss." yes, yes, i know this is a tired argument, but it's still true for me, as they haven't done another RPG since then and thus haven't really been proven one way or the other.exoduster said:
NIS subcontracted the localization on phantom brave to atlus (the same as the distribution.) they aren't using atlus for atelier iris though, so we'll have to see how that turns out (and honestly, if it's going to be different on a case-by-case basis, then, who knows?) i don't think they have in-house localization staff anyway, so quality may depend on how each individual game is handled.
yes, it was quite good IMO. but if, translation-wise, that's how ubisoft looks at handheld SKUs, lunar DS could be fucked. but this is is all a big leap cos we don't even know if it's actually a lunar game and if so, who might be putting it out here, yet.Soul4ger said:

haven't played the game, so I'm curious: what was edited / changed?
Actually, I don't know... I just remember it being reported here. :/Amir0x said:
The zero lead time thing can be confirmed on Matrix's website though. 3DM is once write technology and it's done post manufacturing just like optical media. I'd also suspect that "30% cheaper than traditional silicon ROM" quote is for start up mainly, as costs will plummet once manufacturing gets up to speed and economies of scale fall into place. It probably won't get quite as cheap as industry standards like CD or DVD, but the ideaof disposably cheap solid state media finally seems to be a reality.
