Nintendo Europe have outright stated they're not going to localise 'The Last Story' for a European release, citing that they were too busy with the 3DS.
@Dennen: I've done ICO at a fancy dress party (where I know the low standards of the costume are less likely to be ridiculed, and less likely to end up on Kotaku...)
One of the (male) designers came as Yorda. It was... odd.
@excaliburps: Yeah, I get what you mean, they make a bit more of a point of saying 'these are the games coming via EAP', whereas back in the day they tended to keep their own logo's etc... off them and just did a quiet publishing job.
Quite a lot of Namco and Square stuff came out here that way.
@Chronixal: Granny's Garden, and the other games that company made, have been remade by them multiple times for each new generation of tech. You can still get them now for the PC...
@wild7s: it was bricked up, you'd have to go down there with a sledgehammer and work away at a wall whilst under the gaze of London's ever present CCTV.
@ThursdayNext: Oh I don't doubt that, but if this *does* go to court, and it *is* over such a clause, and the Codies *lose*, then you might not be enforcing many more.
@ThursdayNext: Yet to see any contract like that tested under UK law. There's a decent chance that it's against a lot of EU employment law so will be found to not be legally binding.
If you're going to watch Avalon (and you should, it's ace), then make sure you watch the cut that was released in Europe instead of the one thay released Stateside.
The US one is chopped around a lot and had a narration added to it to explain the bits that didn't really need explaining (similar to what happened to Bladerunner actually)
I'd say Deadpool is almost a given. I think Iron Fist and Luke Cage are decent bets. And if Bendis has any say we'll definitely get Spider Woman.
They should totally put Layla Miller in as a joke character. No-one would ever be able to hit her.
@nERVEcenter: The Spanish don't too much trouble with theirs, it has no lyrics at all. Although I do remember reading there is a movement to try and get some written for it.
@Random J: Audio is well paid cause it's the smallest discipline. Most smaller studios don't have an in-house guy so will use freelancers. Even the biggest studios never usually have more than 2 of them.
