Wow that stinks. Dx

I'm hoping for the Project Diva games. xD Incredibly unlikely, but a guy can dream. Tbh, I'm surprised that there are a few games I've been looking forward to that are or have already been localized. Fate/Extra, for example, and the upcoming Black Rock Shooter. Can't wait to get my hands on those.

I also wish the other two Tales of the World titles would be localized. Loved the first one and was incredibly disappointed when I heard the sequels wouldn't be localized.

y'know, stepping away from localizations and going back to beta's very quick, did you know that there are several games that went through some major changes before their final releases? For example, Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero both saw development on 2 other platforms before their release as early 360 titles.
Conker's Bad fur Day was originally going to be under another title (I can't recall off the top of my head what though) and it wasn't going to be this crude, vulgar gem we know today, then it was going to be called Conker's 12 Tales. The game was going to be this cute little platformer, in which you were also gonna play as Berri. Rare decided though that they wanted to make something that would really stand out in the crowd of 3D platformers being made, which is why BFD came to be
Then there's Starfox Adventure, which started out as a completely different IP. It started it's life out in early development as Dinosaur Planet and was being developed on the N64. It was suppose to follow Krystal, and another character name Sabre. It was an adventure game just as it is now (in fact, beta footage I've come across shows parts that I distinctly remember in the final game). The major difference in the end is that they replaced Sabre with Fox, and added some Starfox elements into it

I read an article about such changes recently, Zero. Although the change in direction happened earlier on in production that the examples you gave above, it's still really interesting to see just how remarkably different these games started out.

On this same topic, there's a website that I go to every now and then called Unseen64.

http://www.unseen64.net/

It's basically got everything you can think of.

Yea, I've actually checked out that website, in fact, that is kinda where I got my info... Actually, it is more from like a couple of people on youtube who post vids for unseen64.
It's pretty cool to see what could have been, and what was never meant to be. Such as Kirby's Adventure



now I don't know about you, but that looked awesome to me... it's a shame we'll probably never get it

I wished they made the "Rival Schools" series more international than just giving us the first game. In my opinion, I think that "Rival Schools" is one of the most unappreciated fighting games in the history...
