PRAISE THE GODDESS. LET HER SHOW US, AS WAYWARD SHEEP THE WAY.

 

AHHHHHHH

[Mimas 141]

Sorry to spoil the party, but the German one says "JP Import", which casts suspicion on the French one as well.

[Proshall 67]

The German one is a Wii one as well. But the French one...

[Mimas 141]

I don't know, I just can't see Square Enix putting the Japanese trailer in their resources for French Amazon to use to sell their product.

[Proshall 67]

Well considering it hasn't even been officially announced yet, I can still see it being feasible.

[mnicolai 120]

That first link also shows a listing for Kid Icarus Uprising WiiU???

Isn't it odd that both PEGI and USK has ratings for it though?  Those kinds of agencies don't typically evaluate import copies, do they?

[Proshall 67]

Someone also pointed out that Black OPs 2 was put on the site before it was announced, and I realized that Donkey Kong Country Returns appeared on it sometime last year as well, on 3DS. (I think) These French people know their stuff!

[mnicolai 120]

The German listing is a fluke, the French one looks legit.

The Kid Icarus thing makes sense on so many levels.

[Proshall 67]

The German one isn't a fluke, as it has a German rating, which not many import games have!

[mnicolai 120]

But sometimes they do. It's clearly marked as an import Wii version with a picture of the Japanese box.

[Proshall 67]

I'm not sure if it had a rating prior to today, though. Irregardless, IT'S HAPPENING.

So much for this hype train

[Cranberry 157]

I hope this is a clue that an English version is on the way.  I can only play the JP version in offline mode.  I'd really like a chance to play in English and to be able to see what online is like.

[Mr. RPG 92]

We can only hope.

[KiTA 88]

So uh, was this anything, or just them being silly with import titles?

[Megalosaro 267]

It is what it is as of right now.  We don't know what it means, other than the fact that they're listing it.

[Proshall 67]

So Deus Ex was announced. I wonder if this greenlights Dragon Quest X for Friday at PAX.

[Megalosaro 267]

If it's announced this month, I have a feeling it will be at GDC not PAX

[mnicolai 120]

Well it's a toss up either way, they could just have a Nintendo Direct for it. But considering how much the fan base needs a boost, PAX would be be a good choice to get some grass roots momentum. 

[Proshall 67]

Well apparently some German journalist's seen the announcement already, and it is Deus Ex. Guess we gotta keep waitin'.

[KiTA 88]

So if I'm understanding the "we're talking about this but not saying it outright cause someone would get fired" doublespeek going on at NeoGAF, one of the people who works on Dragon Quest localizations basically just confirmed the DQX Amazon.fr thing as being legit.

Specifically, Aeana, the one with a DQ slime avatar, appears to be someone from Plus Alpha (?) if I'm remembering the rumor right, and her comments are being taken as a "it's coming" by the rest of the board who are familiar with her.
