[up][up] Do you have a source article for that claim (cancelled 10 months ago) that I can read? I'm wondering exactly what the tone of delivery was, there.

Probably not, but there's always a PC release to look forward to.

Wow. Nicalis just scored a 13 on the Dick Move scale (which only goes from 1 to 10)

If what y'all are saying is true, then Nicalis, after screwing up the music of Cave Story and now screwing up the release of La-Mulana, ought to disband and maybe regroup under a different brand, at the very least. There's obviously something wrong going on here. If Carpe Fulgur can do a much better job with Japanese Indie Game localization, then I do have to ask what the matter is with Nicalis.

I'm not seeing the "10 months cancellation" thing anywhere, not even on twitter. It's dickish if that's how it went down, but I don't see anyone else mentioning something like that.

NIGORO has some news about this.

http://la-mulana.com/en/blog/a-gold-rush.html

  1. They're releasing the PC version anyway.
  2. Some other publishers have made offers since seeing that interview about La-Mulana's cancellation.
  3. This is one of those odd games that's not popular in its home country. NIGORO seems to hypothesize that Japanese indie games aren't that popular in Japan in general for some reason.

Kinda odd, considering how stagnant the gaming scene is in Japan right now.

I guess Indie games in Japan are still seen as those weird things that 1-4 developers sell MAYBE a couple hundred copies of at conventions.

IDK how much money was lost by the nontimely release of this game, but I hope that the cancelling of the Wiiware version gets more people looking at the PC version in the end that didn't know about it.

Of course, there's still the matter of making sure the game comes out with a nice translation.

My pipe dream would be if Carpe Fulgur were to do it, but I'm sure there's other indie localizers that have done good work.

I think they would take offense to that description considering where they hail from.tongue

I highly doubt such a thing would happen though.

Whoa!

I guess this is happening after all!

And checking the Playism website it seems that they don't just have La-Mulana, but also a number of other indie games (some of which I'm interested in getting), among which are three games whose titles are in Japanese and thus I don't know what they say.
