Retro Game Challenge 2 localization not too likely

XSEED is tracking the sales of the original very closely. If the first one sells well, only then will they be moved to bring over the second one. As it stands, though, the first one isn't doing as strongly as they had hoped and because of that things don't look great as far as prospects go of bringing it over to NA. They don't rule it out entirely though. In an inrerview, one representative said the following:
  • "I can't say now it'll never happen, but it's up to the sales results in the future. If it dramatically increases, the sales, then maybe I'll offer a pitch to Bandai Namco again to bring to the US. But currently ... it's tough to bring, so far... We get a lot of enthusiastic emails saying "thank you for Retro Game Challenge, please bring the sequel," and I mean, we love the series too, but, like JI said, maybe at some point, if sales dramatically increase of the original one, but right now it doesn't make business sense for us to bring over the sequel."
Hopefully the game gets the sales it needs!
