Detective Conan is coming to the Wii and might be closing up the gap between Japanese and US games. You can watch the trailer to the game here. The character is already made famous by his animated series and manga comic books as a "Quantum Leap sans Ziggy"-like victim who has been shrunk down to little-boy size only to solve mysteries that surround the people who made him so small.

None of the other Detective Conan games have been released outside of the US, but maybe this could change with the Wii game. Recently Destineer has been picking up anime licenses. They got Fullmetal Alchemist which Funimation holds the rights to and they might have picked up the rights for Samurai Deeper Kyo games. Since Funimation holds the rights for Case Closed in North America there is a remote chance Detective Conan: Tsuioku no Gensou could come out.

Pretty neat stuff. Personally, I wish that every game was made available to anyone in any language. Then I wouldn't have to track things down randomly on the web and enter the "you-know-what-kind" of pop-up window zone. Kim Phu
