Is there any particular reason as to why Namco has never bothered to bring over the [email protected]/* */ games to the west? Though at this point, I don't think it even matters, what with it losing popularity in Japan due to LL and literally no effort to grow a fanbase in the west (and also lost in the west to LL).

Licensing issues with the songs and voice actresses, the cost for getting that shit in order for an international release would out weigh the possible profits.

Also with how these days everything is dubbed and censored, you wouldn't even recognize the game after such mutilation.
Considering target audience it just won't sell.

Bingo. People forget that idoruus are big business in Japan. Not just moneymakers, but literally business, with all kinds of contracts, rights, and licensing deals.

especially with faggots like Victor Ireland wanting a whack at the series;

>For example, and I’d love to do this one: THE [email protected]/* */ Those are great games, but they have some stuff that I don’t think would fly here. Basically, it’s borderline pedophilia. Those scenes, like it or not, are gonna either be removed entirely or repurposed for something else.

I'm honestly not totally -opposed- to the idea of an "international" focused [email protected]/* */ game, but obviously it should be it's own thing instead of repurposing any of the 765 games.

But at the same time, the thought of dubbed 765Pro is way too hilarious.

It shouldn't infuriate me so much. But it does.

Aren't the girls all like 16? Which is legal in most of the US? What the fuck, can we nuke California yet?

Because it's moeshit. The west doesn't deserve that type of garbage.

at least in the mobile rhythm game there are a bunch of idols that are like 12.
