So you want to play Mario Kart DS online with friends…
I can hardly wait to suck this senselessly stick this in my USB port come November 14th.
EDIT: Apparently, you won’t be able to buy this in retail stores until Metroid Prime Hunters’ release. If you want to buy it online, you can do so here.
The costs of localization are higher than the forecasted return. And no, it wouldn't sell more than Okamiden (which has already sold more than the first Investigations).
Could this content show up on some other platform somewhere down the line? Possibly, but there's nothing on that front for me to talk about. I realize there are fans who would like to have this and I'll be sure to explore ways that could happen viably in the future with our strategy and R&D teams but no promises.
The only positive thing I can get out of this is that perhaps they're thinking of moving it to the 3DS. Although I'm surprised that they're not considering the DS due to fucking Okamiden coming out (and selling, apparently!) right between Black Gangsta Version and White Supremacist Version and the 3DS. Christ, talk about an unlikely scenario.
