Alex, what is: 'Another game the folks at Nintendo of America will ignore'?

The answer to the Jeopardy-esque question above, of course, is: The sequel to Hotel DuskLast Window: The Secret of Cape West.



Actually, I shouldn't say "of course," as Nintendo of America has passed on releasing a number of internally-developed DS and Wii games this generation, including Daigasso! Band Brothers (aka Jam with the Band), Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and that title's sequel, Ripening Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love, on the DS and Another Code: R, Captain Rainbow, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Fatal Frame IV and Zangeki no Reginleiv on the Wii.

Anyway, although Last Window will hit the streets in Europe on Sept. 17, it has yet to receive a North American release date. As much as I'd like to bemoan that fact, I'm also happy that the game has been translated into English and will be released somewhere in the world. After all, ebay.com is just a click away...

Wow, I loved Hotel Dusk. I wonder if this one will be any better than the first.

I think it's supposed to be a pretty good game, Devil Persona, though I can't say that from first-hand experience.

Regardless, I'm going to import the game if NOA doesn't announce it soon...

Careful about importing this game, especially if it isn't English. From what I remember about Hotel Dusk, the puzzles were difficult and a lot of the hints came from interrogating the people. I can't tell you how many times I was asked to leave the hotel -ultimate game over!

Oh, I didn't mean I would import the Japanese version -- I meant I would import the EU version from the UK, which surely will include an English option.
