Very true. The DS one can't be brought to America due to the fact it uses licensed characters like the rest of the series. BUT, one of the newer OG series on the PS2 can easily come here and I have noidea why the hell these awesome games are not here at all.
...I have no words to describe this right. I've only got 3 for ya: HOLY....FUKING....AWESOME!!! Makes me wanna learn all things SRW right now! But that's like 100 mecha animes and I'd need a whole lifetime and a job where I get paid for not workin to watch em all. -sighs-
I must say, the creator of this has made quite an impressive video. I really like the splicing of the actual anime clips into the video. A couple of them would be very nice in future animation (namely Mikoto as part of Goldion Crusher. >.>)
@jubokusa I really don't know what the case with Yakuza 2 was. Maybe it was because it was torwards the end of the system's lifetime in the US? Who knows?
Only the OG series has any chance of coming here. The rest of the main series can't come due to the License issues with already that many studios in the US having one or two license per Mecha Anime. If it wasn't for, i.e. "World Events Productions" (The US License holders of Golion, Dairugger XV and Bismark), then we would have a whole lot of Hot-Blooded Mecha Craze in the entire world!
That is DaiRaiOh, one of the four mechs piloted by one of the four main characters that the player can choose to play as. These mechs do not belong to any series and are purely original.
since the anime series came to america, in US territory it doesn't belong to it's owners, so it would cost just too much regarding copyright.... or something like that.
@KaosMachina Well, they certainly can't use that excuse with the PS3, since all the Yakuza games are japanese with english subtitles. Maybe an OG PS3 release will see the light of day....
Sony has a policy against bringing out games in the US that do not have English voice acting. It's stupid as all get-out, since plenty of hard-core fans would prefer the Japanese anyway, but it's the reason why not. ...unless they dub it. Which seems unlikely.
