LOOK WHO FUCKING CALLED IT THIS MORNING!!!

Engine Software (ToCS Cold Steel 3 and 4, and Ys 9 on Switch) did No More Heroes 1 and 2 on Switch
Special note that this is Engine's first work with XSEED (and technically Marvelous Europe who are tagged) who still hold the western rights to Cold Steel 1 and 2. Era, are you pondering what I'm pondering? š¤

Well these are Japanese releases, bare in mind Crossbell got PS4 releases but no sign of them officially in the West :(
Dayummmm! Be proud!LOOK WHO FUCKING CALLED IT THIS MORNING!!!

They were released in both Korean and Chinese last year on Vita. Felt like it happened out of nowhere though.
There were Chinese PC ports of the Crossbell games as well.

I'm curious how this is actually being handled. Clouded Leopard publish in Japan and have announced a few Switch titles so I have to assume they're handling these there also. Are they HQ'd in Korea?
Engine could be behind the ports as anyone would expect, but it's not certain. I wonder if Clouded Leopard would have another dev in mind they frequent with to do the ports instead, assuming they were the ones who originated the ports.

They have Onee Chanbara Origin on their banner which XSEED is localizing IIRC. Maybe they do have a connection for the western releases of the Cold Steel ports... maybe? Onee Chanbara Origin is from D3 of course but still.
Edit: Oh, did XSEED not handle this entry in the west? Googling says no, it's D3 themselves. Thought XSEED did it this time like one entry before.
let me edit my post there š¶LOOK WHO FUCKING CALLED IT THIS MORNING!!!

I can has them games in EU too?!
Here's hoping! Hopefully the rights to localisation aren't limiting that possibility or something like that...

makes absolute sense. i would love to play 3 and 4 but obviously i cant (well i could on original hardware but I dont boot up those system these days) without knowing the story so i have ignored the games so far.
I guess Zero and Ao will be the reason I polish my Korean reading abilities. Whatever it takes to finally play these games. ķģ“ķ

Guess this is how we get the Crossbell games in the west. It a better entry point than CS 3 for switch only fan any way lol.
Sky don't have modern console ports to base it off like the Crossbell games do. They could use the PC ports but they're probably waiting until Falcom does something themselves first.
And IIRC Falcoms CEO said they would rather do a proper remake of the Sky games than a remaster.
There were Vita ports, right? I figure we'll get some variant of those if they do something with Sky, but yeah it wouldn't be a super easy thing.
Hopefully whatever we do get has a character portrait toggle
IIRC the rights to the Vita Evo versions of Sky are a mess and split across multiple companies so a localization/port wouldn't be as easy if they used that version.
Oh weird, didn't know that
Curious if DotEmu would be the best option for bringing that era of Falcom PC games over, Ys Origin is pretty much everywhere at this point and I have to imagine that was from a similar framework?
These are my most wanted Switch games. What are the chances we see this worldwide? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease....
Looks like I'll be waiting until next year to jump into these games. I was tempted to get them on PS4 but a) they never really get a decent sale and b) I prefer these types of jrpgs on a handheld.
Went to find the thread to say you called it!LOOK WHO FUCKING CALLED IT THIS MORNING!!!

Crossbell in the West genuinely looking likely now too.
I think the PS4 ports of CS1 and CS2 showed that they don't mind publishing ports as long as they don't have to put resources into the porting process itself. This is essentially easy money for them. Unlike Crossbell, which only a party who felt they had a long-term lock on the series might consider taking on, since it'd be very unlikely to break even.
Yes. In fact, Cold Steel III contains a truckload of characters, locations and references to and from the 5 Trails games that came before the Cold Steel arc and Cold Steel IV is even worse in that respect.
