For the most part. But I bet someone would license it eventually if Bandai provided the opportunity. After all, Atlus is supposed to be bringing over Super Robot Wars, which suggests that any game that has a decent fan base can eventually be brought over if the licensing fees aren't too steep to prohibit the possibility of a profit (or if it can even be licensed to begin with, which I suspect Bandai would be loathe to allow for anything Gundam related). That's a game series that's been around for a while without being properly licensed for North America, but is finally being brought over. The trick is to keep the costs low. North America is big enough that pretty much ANYTHING that's decent and/or has some quality to it can at least earn more than the cost of production (provided you don't overdo it and vastly overproduce). And since we're talking about games that have already had a run in Japan, the only costs are therefore the costs of printing the discs and packaging, and the cost of translating the game. Plus licensing if necessary. junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
