What other games do you think Aksys should pick up?

The problem with localizing chaos;head is not the amount of text, but the content.
Steins;Gate apparently has little blood/gore in comparison. But I don't think it's possible, because JAST have been trying to localize Nitro+'s games as of recent. They probably already have the rights to their merchandise outside of Japan. Nitro+ made Chaos;Head and Noah, and 5pb published Noah for 360.

Are the contents in this and Steins;Gate more explicit than Theresia? 'Cause that game gets pretty nasty!As for rights, I think that may go for individual titles on particular platforms unless they have some deal if they want one title they have to get another one with it.
I'm not sure JAST is ready to localize for the 360, yet, though. So, something like Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu! or Steins;Gate should be open for localizing, I would think.

Actually 5pb developed and published the XBOX 360 version of the game, making it pretty much open for localization as there really isn't any company associated with 5pb in the United States as far as I am aware of.

I have yet to play that game, but the content is pretty vile.

Honestly, I highly doubt either of these titles will end up localized. Since JAST is localizing Nitro+'s material (or trying to, eventually), chances of Aksys having much of a chance are slim. I even feel like I'm wasting my time writing this, since it doesn't seem likely. On top of this, the visual novel scene is slim, and most of the scene doesn't have a 360. Would be nice though, and I'd fully support it, but translating the games is a fairly complicated process and I don't know if Aksys are up to the task.

On the topic of Visual Novel, what about 9 Hours, 9 Doors, 9 Persons (or whatever it's called)? Isn't that game open? That would be a great game to be published here since it received like a straight 9 in Famitsu.This would also be a really good game to localize. Does Aksys handle DS games too?

As for 9 Hours, 9 Doors, 9 Persons - I've never heard of title, but the art reminds me of Lux-Pain... :(Posted 4 months ago # -
Oh lux pain, that game was so good D: i feet like playing it again T_T epix ending

MemberI dunno if anyone's heard of it, but games I'd really like to see aksys do something with is Gungrave. I had a great time playing those back in 2002, the visual style and score was so cool(for lack of a better word) xD Wish someone would port over those games to the psp or ps3 or something.

Ya, but if its being licensed for Europe that means there is a very good chance it is going to make an appearance over here after. Or you can just get a copy from Europe.

MemberHonestly, though, if there was any company to localize a console VN, it would be Aksys. I'm a little worried though, because I remember reading a review with a NISA rep about Disgaea Infinite where they said SCEA doesn't like novel-type games. Maybe there is hope though, I might have to get a 360...

Member1st of all, hi everybody! I'm new to this forum and all that classy stuff... And i have been with this question in my head for the last few days: Aksys could bring more Cave titles like Ketsui, Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu or Deathsmiles II X outside of Japan in the future?
I know that we will see more of Deathsmiles (maybe) in the future if people buy the actual game (something that you must do!) but, what about the newer games of the company? I would love to see an official release for Dai-Fukkatsu, the same goes for Ketsui or hell a release for dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou Black Label Extra would be sweet.
So, is too much to ask for more Cave goodness or you are going to see the sells of Deathsmiles first? :I

It's a bad business model to go with 4 or 5 titles in a different genre before seeing how many shmup fans are really out there. There's been maybe only 60 or so that have posted on this board and is that is all that are out there then not much money will be made. At least we have Death Smiles and Cho Aniki. Here's my fingers crossed for jump-starting the shmup genre!

All I can so is hopefully they handle the releases better then 5pb Games did with their localization on DoDonPachi Daiojou Black Label Extra, as well as other caves games that Akays might pick up because they actually had to DISCONTINUE the xbox 360 release of DoDonPachi because of how many problems it had. For instance it took about 10 minutes to start just a round of the game because loading took so long.
Also I was looking into Steins;Gate today and I found it actually was a pretty significant release. It was praised by many reviews stating it was something not seen ever, if not in a long time in terms of visual novels, and that the game, and how it played out was creative, and exciting. It was also critically acclaimed for the voice acting (which if localized means it should AT LEAST stay in the game).
I played the demo, and I can say for sure it was a beautiful game with a neat spin on visual novels that I too have never seen done before. Its something that makes the player want to explore even more of the Steins;Gate universe with many different scenarios inputted, as well as the beautiful artistic style to the game.

You know what? I've always wished Fate Stay/Night (the original visual novel) would be released officially in the US so I could buy it. But I guess that's the wrong territory for Aksys.I'm playing the unofficial port of FS/N on my DS right now. Like you, I'd love to have an official English language, version of this fantastic game. But publishers are scared to death of even attempting to release an AO rated title.

I'd love to see Aksys pick up and release the sequel to this great game. Ignition Entertainment released the firt game on the DS last year as a budget title, with what has got to be the absolute worst "English" text translation in video gaming history. Never should anyone ever sub-contract Japanese-English text translation to India. Ignition has no apparent plans of releasing the sequel.And I'll chime in to concur with practically everyone else who posted in this thread Melty Blood already. It's not THE type of game Type-Moon is best known for, but at least it features characters from Lunar Legend Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night.

I didn't know that... but i've been reading that 5pb is still having problems with the patch to fix the bugs of the game.
But what's really worries me is the port of Ketsui Extra (you know, the one for the Xbox 360), 5pb is doing the job of bringing the game and with all the problems that they have with porting Dai-Ou-Jou and the infamous bugs lately, the port of Ketsui has no much hype behind him of being a "huge success".
But they have release a trailer and the game looks really awesome (for now, at least), so, if Deathsmiles sells well i would really REALLY like to see Ketsui Extra outside of Japan along with Deathsmiles II X (and that would be the reason to buy a 360 too, yeah, just for three games... ha!).
Oh! If someone want to see the trailer of Ketsui for the 360, here's the link: http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1232642_1124.html
The games is coming on 22 of April in Japan (according to Play-Asia).

So, after posting earlier today during my lunch break something obvious occurs to me. I know of at least two games you guys (Arc System Works) already own the rights to that I would certainly buy if you'd localize them! And one of them I even reviewed a few years back: Review
The other game, technically game series, being Wizard's Harmony.

MemberUhhh... Dude... these guys are Aksys Games, not Arc System Works...
Edit: I just figured what good game Aksys should pick up, other than Melty Blood...
Macross Ultimate Frontier. I have the Japanese release and can vouch for its quality.
I know that obtaining the license would be a nightmare, but hey... I can mention it at the very, very least.

I actually wanted that game pretty badly. I still can't find a place selling the Dreamcast game, the story always caught my eye and the cover lol.

MemberAs Aksys is bringing over Record of Agarest War, I thought it'd be great if they tackled another Compile Heart game that NISA doesn't seem to be interested in bringing over: Cross Edge Dash for the Xbox 360 (and also if able to bring over the additional content in the Dash release for PS3 owners, though not sure if that is possible).
Depending on what resources would be made available to Aksys, most of the localization is already finished as Cross Edge was brought to North America on the PS3. Cross Edge was ported over the Xbox 360 in Japan with some extra content and called Cross Edge Dash; but unfortunately not brought over so far.
I am a fan of NIS titles, and already own the PS3 version; but I would also like to get the Xbox 360 version as well. Aksys itself is becoming a favorite publisher by bringing over Record of Agarest War (already have the Really Naughty Edition pre-ordered), and for bringing over DeathSmiles (very surprised and very happy for this one!).
Cheers!
