I'm going to go ahead and gander/suggest that Marvelous, Xseed, or Ignition publish the game. They've been good at bringing over rather niche titles (Muramasa, Little King's Story).

I'm sure Atlus would be very happy to publish this, it seems like their type of game, and I would certainly buy it from them, they're one developer/publisher who I've never once doubted.

At first I was surprised, but Ubisoft is actually a fickle and often terrible group. EA? PleasE?
... ATLUS! Atlus brings us nice things!

@Demonbird: Yeah, but there mostly just on the PS system. It would really be nice to see atlus throw the 360 a bone as well.

They could have on of those Pre-order deals again, where they have to get so many pre-orders before they decide to put the game out. (I know they had something recently like this. I like it, seems like a decent plan) Makes gamers like myself put there money where there mouth is.

Or heck, maybe just release the games as DL content on live.

@--Core--: Well, things like 3d DGH and Demon's souls weren't made by them, and weren't amde for the 360. If theyw ere Atlus would have probably brought them over.

This surprised me, even though it's not really all that surprising if you think about it. Suda makes niche games that often feature purposely frustrating gameplay. NMH has a lot of awesomeness in it but there's also a lot of crap to wade through to get to said awesomeness.

I'm pretty sure another company'd be more than willing to pick this one up, especially after another company (Ubisoft) has already done all the groundwork. Fish in a barrel, indeed.

This might have already been answered, but if you're in a party, does everybody have to own the expansion in order to play it?

It's a smart move on the part of Ubisoft. Why publish a game for a system that actually has an audience for it when you can just focus on a system where the majority of its users never play any games for it other than the game it came with?

I also wonder - if someone else tried to publish NMH for PS3/360 in America, do you think Ubisoft would try to block them?

Hard to blame them, really, seeing that it didn't exactly set the wii on fire.

@Mister Jack started the Save The Lombax Foundation: I'll have to agree with this.

Seeing as how little the original sold on the Wii, even for all the praise it acquired, it still wasn't as well-received. Lets not forget how Ubi combined Red Steel and NMH together in a cheap bundle to increase sales too.

Even to this day I find there are gamers that haven't touched the thing. With a remixed port, who's to stay you'll grab the same audience as the first game? In a way, you're relying on those who haven't played it at all and only have a 360 or PS3. It's a niche game, it's going to require a lot of marketing, and it's marketing for a people that have been oblivious to the very existence of the series.

Question is, are they oblivious to it because of ignorance, or lack of interest?

Ubisoft saved themselves from a money sink. It looks like this will take a lot of work to localize and the PS3, as well as the 360 aren't really known for violent, adult games as the player base just isn't there.

@wirebrain: A lot of work to localize? The game's already been translated, and the remakes don't have any new content aside from alternate costumes for all the women.

This is an EASY localization job.
