I DIED WHEN I SAW THAT

We need to get this localized!

 

[Clov]

I'm happy that it's being remade, though it's not a great sign for localization if it wasn't shown in the English language Direct. Hope that it does get picked up.

How is this collaboration working? Mages is developing, but is Nintendo publishing, or did Mages just lisence the property from Nintendo?

 

[Desmond]

Love this style of game, will import.

 

[Instro]

Nintendo still scared to localize games? Smh

Holy Crap, Megaton

 

[BassForever]

NINTENDO LOCALIZE THIS PLEASE!

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Holy what I was talking about this just a few days ago holy shit wtf

 

[Dr. Coz]

If there were ever a time for internet mobs to cause a ruckus and make a difference, this is the time. Please get this localized

 

[Argot]

The SNES remake of the sequel is great and I've always been disappointed there's not as much as a fan translation of the original. Really hope this makes it over here.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

Well, Japan-only I assume.

 

[Tregard]

Localise it and put a character from it into Smash ASAP

 

[Fat4all]

is there even a glimmer of hope that this gets localized?

 

[wonzo]

really hope they bring this, dq1-3, and moon over

 

[Aeana]

I love these games. The remakes look excellent. I hope they take the opportunity to translate them so other people can experience these great games.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

what the actual fuck nintendo

Yeah, I played the Super Famicom remake, but never the first game. I would love to play this Switch remake

 

[higemaru]

Localize this & put Ayumi in Smash plz nintendo

 

[Het_Nkik]

I imported these several years ago and never played them. I was hoping somebody would fan-translate them. How do I get Nintendo to bring this over.

 

[lsayer]

How do we start a project rainfall 2 for these? Can someone step up to the mantle and get the ball rolling?

 

[Deleted member 2793]

Funnily enough, in the last shareholder meeting someone asked them specifically about Famicom Tantei Club and the production of future Nintendo Adventure games:

These were Takahashi and Miyamoto's answers:

 

[ChunkyChowder]

Yo what the hell Nintendo, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce these games to the west.

 

[Hailinel]

I've tweeted at NOA for a localization and can only pray it's in the cards.

 

[Derachi]

As the owner of the URL FamicomDetective.club, I'm stoked. Hope there's a localized version.

 

[kikuchiyo]

I'd bet they're not localizing this. Time for some of y'all go to make those Japanese Switch accounts and pick up Genki Iand II.

 

[FormatCompatible]

Holy shit I'm sooo fucking happy! This and Moon were my favorite announcements of this direct. Please, please Nintendo localize this!

 

[Deleted member 10737]

i'm gonna be PISSED if these don't get localized

 

[Naga]

That's pretty insane, especially after what Miyamoto said at that investors meeting...
Hope it's localized.

 

[Joqu]

I really want this, please localize it Nintendo :(

 

[Semajer]

Those motherfuckers better release this in English.

 

[masaa]

I want this ;_;

 

[MaitreWakou]

Motherfucker, please come to the west holy shit motherfucker this is the best thing ever what the FUCK

 

[Zan]

LOCALIZE THIS.

MARIO VS DONKEY KONG 38 CAN WAIT.

 

[Klappdrachen]

Oh my god. Finally, Ayumi in Smash!

You were legit the first person that came to mind when I saw this, haha

 

[Zero-ELEC]

why isn't this being fucking localised god damn it nintendo

 

[jph139]

I really, really, REALLY hope we're beyond the point of Nintendo leaving these sorts of games in Japan. I'd love for an official translation of the series.

If anyone is curious after seeing this, I STRONGLY encourage seeking out the fan translation of the SNES game. It's a really, really solid little text adventure game. It has a vibe that can't be beat.

 

[MaitreWakou]

This is 2020 Nintendo can't just not release one of their game here like if it's 2006, come on come to the west !!!
Megaton of the direct seriously and we didn't even saw it lmao

 

[-shadow-]

Region free but most likely no English support... Damned Nintendo!

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

That's actually really cool...it's a lost piece of Nintendo history.

lol fun to know I'm considered the official Detective Club stan, haha

 

[Symphony]

Seriously, localise this Nintendo, I've been wanting to try Famicom Detective Club for many years.

 

[MondoMega]

This better be localised...
