Tekken producer and all-round cool guy Katsuhiro Harada is championing Namco Bandai to localize Project X Zone, the 3DS strategy-RPG that pits numerous characters from Namco Bandai, Capcom, and Sega games into battle.
When asked about the game over Twitter, Harada replied, "I proposed localization of Project X Zone." He quickly followed that statement up with "Not decided yet, but It will be realized if I continue proposing."
By no means does this confirm PXZ will be localized. However, it's reassuring to learn that someone with such a large influence at Bandai Namco is fighting for the good fight. Let's hope for the best!

Go Harada-san! It's good to know that the ones developing it wants to localize PxZ as well.
ReplyDeleteIf Capcom wants any chance of redemption at this point, then they'll go through with allowing this to happen.
ReplyDelete@Krazy Monkey:
ReplyDeleteFor the billionth time, Capcom has nothing to do with this game's production.
Yeah, only chance this would get localized is if someone inside Namco Bandai rallyes for it.
ReplyDeleteYou can bet this kind of thing would never even be possible to happen if Capcom were in charge or have a considerable part of this game's production.
So thanks to Namco Bandai and this guy, we might get an interesting new game with a Mega Man in it.
@September 23, 2012 7:44 PM: But if Sega and Capcom are involved, wouldn't they have some say in what's done with the game since it's their characters and settings involved and all?
ReplyDeleteEither way, I hope Mr. Harada is successful in getting this localized.
I really hope this happens because I'm really excited about this game and would be it at launch if it came out in english. that's rare for me because I almost never buy games at launch.this would be the best megaman related news all year long so far. please make this happen!

ReplyDelete...Which is why I said "allowing". Like RADIX said, their characters are being used in it, so they definitely have some say in whether or not the game will make it overseas.
:3 Looks like I spread the word.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope PXZ does get localize, and screw the idiots saying it won't reach USA and Europe!
Hope Harada-san the best. This game looks really good, it'd be a shame not to localize and release it to English audiences.
ReplyDeleteAnd as another note: @Sept 23, 2012 7:44 PM Anon:
They may have not much with the production but their characters ARE used. What I'm willing to bet to happen is that every character non-Mega Man related gets released with the localized copy, but everything Mega Man gets yanked out. Why? Because Capcom's the biggest troll these days and has a personal grudge against Mega Man these days.
I really hope that doesn't come to pass.
I like the fact that X is front and center on the logo -- likely due to the "X" in PXZ
ReplyDeleteScrew Capcom for not localizing PXZ. Harada is the man who keeps the word for localizing it! A way to go!
ReplyDeleteLong live, Harada!
Long live, Harada!
Long live, Harada!
Long live, Harada!
Well then, get on the stick, Harada! The West needs more Bamco games.
ReplyDeleteHarada-san, Nintendo will thank you for (in part, at least) taking away the motivation of hackers. And I will thank you for making my life far more awesome. =D
ReplyDelete@Harada: Well, just do the damn thing and you better do it quick!
ReplyDelete@Musashi:
