Hudson's actually in a bad position. Their US division has closed, all of their projects cancelled, and from what it sounds like, evil overlord Konami plans on making them a "social games brand", which means shovelware. To think the US division was starting pre-production work on a new Bloody Roar too...
Also, the article doesn't outright mention it, but SEGA will be translating Monster World IV for that collection.
Lastly, Doki Doki Suikoden sold a grand total of like 6000 copies in Japan. Mega-bomba.

Looks like there's a line that even the Japanese have to say, "That's too far".

That Monster World IV picture seal the deal for me. I love that art style and I'll give it a chance.

Because it isn't out yet. My usual sources all have it shipping on June 2, which will place it in that month's import feature.

Damn it all to hell! That's one collection I really wanted too.

That's quite ironic indeed considering Asha is the very epitomy of "moe" in the series.
I guess it's Monster World IV for VC for me (not because of the moe, but because of the metroidvania...oh god..."moe"troidvania.)
Yep, Pandora's Tower saddens me if it won't make it here. In fact, if Xenoblade and The Last Story don't make it to the US, I will be severely disappointed in NOA.
Got Arcade Edition pre-ordered on Steam. GFWL...bleh (don't care for achievements personally), but got a good deal. That said, I'm really hoping for AE for 3DS in some form (either as DLC or cart).
