A community manager for Tecmo Koei has revealed that Dynasty Warriors VS will not be localized for release outside of Japan. No reason has been given for this decision as of yet.

      haha yep

    • Repo

      Its because the game is so damn repetative.. and boring anyways.. japanese gamers are loyal to their own game so they sell it to them..They need to change … or die….. (quote from the back of my ps2 robotech/macross game). These dynasty warrior games are the equivalent to the American barbie games…

    Sure. The gaming community only exsists in Japan no? Pathetic

    This is bullshit. It had online multiplayer and everything, it was perfect for the West.

    • Navolas

      It was basically made for the west… and then we were given a big ol’ middle finger

    Rofl, knew it, saw it coming.

    The best way to be not so upset over these games that aren’t released in the states, heres how you should deal with them.

    First, if its a Nintendo game, its obvious that it will be localized.

    If its a capcom game, keep at like, 65% to expecting it not coming and 45% expecting it to coming.
    (MHTG)

    And the capcom rule applies to all the others games out there, but even out the expectation meter to 50-50%.

      There’s a ton of Nintendo games that weren’t localized, although this trend is starting to fade. But Japan currently has a Nintendo-published free special effects photo app in the eShop that we don’t! It was also the first eShop title to receive DLC.

  • mah boi

    It should be changed to

    “We hate money.” says Tecmo Koei

    • cory

      And “we hate anyone outside Japan”

  • ZimmerRemmiz

    Well that blows, especially considering the Link and Samus outfits in the game…

  • http://youtube.com/the8guys Dylan

    and every other country cares… why ? this game looks bad and why change how Link looks :P

    • tob2007

      Because it’s not Link. It’s just Link’s costume. It’s actually just a character from the Dynasty Warriors character roster.

  • Teehee

    Fuck you Tecmo Koei

    if nintendo grow up, stuff like this would be in the eshop.

    • Da Man Live

      It isn’t “Nintendo” actually.

      If Hybrilynx grew up, he would understand that. I kid.

      But yeah, Its not Nintendo’s doing

      Slight problemo there. 3DS games are huge, going from around 2 GB, to 8 GB. I mean, a single game would take up roughly the entire card, or if you purchased a 16 GB card, a 8th of the card. Plus, you also have issues of all the other shmutz that needs to be stored, such as Nintendo Video(which takes up a fsckton), regular eShop titles(not to mention the ambassador games), pictures, video, save data, applications, demos, streetpass data, and any music you want on there(I have a 8GB card. I have about 6 GB of music, I had to delete nintendo video to make enough room for my recent downloads.)

      Anyway, point, you arent going to make a full game as a eShop game, unless its rather small. Don’t get into Vita save cart sizes, they are really overpriced.

    Oh no, this is terrible. My, however am I going to be able to sleep tonight. A great loss for not just all of gaming, but for all of humanity.

    • Total911

      lol, exactly! XD

  • Ryuji

    According to the Japanese reviews, we’re really not missing all that much. Shame it didn’t turn out being something like SW:C.

      I suppose nothing of value was lost?

    • BlackJackIGN

      SW:C? What’s that?

    • Ryuji

      Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, one of the launch titles for the 3DS, and it remains one of my favourite titles! The Samurai Warriors series is one of the branches of the Warriors “genre”, and it managed to impress me despite my initial hesitance.

      So I was looking forward to Dynasty Warriors VS, but after seeing/reading what the Japanese version offered, I think I would have passed anyway, even if it did get localized to North America…

  • Kyle

    And not a single fuck was given that day.

  • Axilon

    No english version for that game..? Okay, but how about released DOA5 for 3DS instead. XD

  • help!!

  • Dragoon195

    I think we need more America Power instead of just relying on japan, but I still like japanese games.
