I looked into the Vita games on the list and a few of them look passable... but they'll almost certainly never make it to Western audiences.

 

Gundam Breaker 2

 

This one is probably the most likely one to reach the West as Gunpla models are at least known here. Apparently this game is to have over 100 playable Gunpla, which is quite interesting. Fans of the anime and model kits might do well to watch this space.

 

 

Hanayamata: Yosakoi Live!

 

This is a rhythm game and visual novel combination - which means the chances this will ever reach the West are... nil. Not such a bad thing, since this doesn't look all that well executed anyway to be honest.

 

 

The Irregular at Magic High School: Out of Order

 

I can't quite tell what this game is - but judging from the gameplay and the obviously recycled maps, I'd say it's a 3D 1v1 brawler with possible visual novel elements, and some obvious fanservice... it looks rather low-budget, actually. Not a fun time by the looks of it.

 

 

M3 The Dark Metal: Mission Memento Mori

 

Now this is really interesting. This looks like a strategy game and visual novel with some very interesting gameplay choices - it appears as though the player actually maps out a battle plan using a series of menus and then executes it against AI enemies. This is a very interesting take on the strategy genre, but it may not be the most entertaining. If it came to the West, I'd give it a shot - but I doubt it will. Fans of experimental gameplay should watch this space.

 

 

Super Hero Generation

 

This one's very basic. It's a side-scrolling fighter in the vein of Street Fighter and its multitude of allies in the genre. The difference is, the characters in this one are from anime and Japanese TV shows, especially tokusatsu, kaiju and super-robot shows. This is much like J-Stars Victory VS, except it uses much more obscure characters. This will most likely never come to the West as it caters to fans of highly niche genres even in Japan, with international viewership reaching new lows all the time. If you enjoy them - I'm aware that Western fans of these genres are all but rabid - you may want to seriously consider importing this one. Kamen Rider vs Godzilla is actually quite amusing, I must admit.

 

 

All in all, a couple of good PS3 and Vita games, a couple of bad ones, all drowned in a sea of casual titles. Namco Bandai need to step up their game if they want to impress even the Japanese audience, and the first step to impressing the Western audience is actually localising games. They have failed to realise this so far, and I doubt they'll realise it until it's too late. But that's just my opinion.

Coming holiday 2015 to Wii U. I'm 99,99% sure of it. :)

 

It's only coming to Arcades in Japan for 2015, usually fighters stay there for about a year before a console release.  So more liker early 2016 for Japan, Summer 2016 everywhere else seems like an accurate release time.

Sorry, but what is TGS?

Seems to me that it would make for a good christmas title on Wii U.

F-Zero AX and GX came out almost at the same time, if I remember correctly.

Hopefully Godzilla comes to North America, if not I guess I will be importing my first game then.

Would like to see another Mobile Suit Gundam game too as well, never did play Crossfire.

as for Tales of Zesetria I am guess that will likely come out to north America?

Also would be nice if that Digimon game did as well, but somehow I doubt it would happen.
